The 'Best plus/minus in an NBA playoff game' quiz

The Oklahoma City Thunder responded to their Game 1 collapse against the Denver Nuggets with a resounding 149-106 win in Game 2. The Thunder jumped on the Nuggets early, scoring 87 points in the first half led by their MVP candidate Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. SGA finished with 34 points on 11-of-13 shooting from the field and a perfect 11-for-11 from the free throw line, and set an NBA playoff record with a plus/minus of 51 – meaning the Thunder outscored Denver by 51 points with him on the floor. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. What makes Gilgeous-Alexander’s record even more impressive is that he did it in just 30 minutes of playing time. With that being said, can you name the 21 NBA players with a +/- of at least 40 can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
