In the Oklahoma City Thunder’s run to an NBA title in 2025, they dispatched their first round opponent Memphis Grizzlies in four games. Monday night, they have a chance to begin their title defense the same way against the Phoenix Suns.

OKC took Game 3 in Phoenix 121-109 behind an uber-efficient performance from reigning-MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. SGA scored 42 points on 15-of-18 shooting from the field while going 11-12 from the free throw line, adding eight assists and four rebounds to round out the performance.

The Thunder will look to get their second-consecutive first-round sweep in Phoenix on Monday night.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Gilgeous-Alexander is one of 34 active players to score at least 40 points in an NBA Playoff game. How many of those players can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
