The 'Conference Finals PPG leaders' quiz

While it didn’t come without officiating controversy , the Oklahoma City Thunder rode 32 points from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, 22 from Alex Caruso and 20 from Jared McCain to a 127-114 Game 5 win over San Antonio. The two-time reigning MVP made 16-of-17 free throws and dished out nine assists to bring the defending champions within one game of the NBA Finals. 

While it isn’t surprising to see a 30-piece from SGA or 22 from Caruso, with Jaylen Williams and Ajay Mitchell out for OKC, Thunder fans will be happy to see that trade deadline acquisition McCain seems prepared for the biggest stage as well. The 22 year old wasn’t the most efficient in his first playoff start, shooting 7-for-19 from the field, but he still made three three-pointers in his second 20-point game of the Western Conference Finals. 

The series heads back to San Antonio, where the Spurs will try to stave off elimination on their home court. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. SGA’s 28.8 points-per-game in his Western Conference Finals career is good for sixth-most among players with at least 10 games under their belt. With that being said, how many of the players to average at least 20 points-per-game in the Conference Finals can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
