The 'Last 40-point NBA Playoff games' quiz

The Detroit Pistons are 3-0 this postseason when facing elimination, surviving a 3-1 deficit to the Orlando Magic in the First Round. But down 3-2, the Eastern Conference’s top-seed will need to improve to 5-0 if they’re going to reach the Conference Finals. 

After winning the first two games of the series, Detroit has dropped three-straight, including an overtime loss at home in Game 5. Despite the loss, Cade Cunningham showed the version of himself the Pistons will need to survive Game 6 on the road. The former No. 1-overall NBA Draft pick scored 39 points on 13-of-27 shooting from the field 6-for-10 from deep with nine assists and seven rebounds. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Cunningham has scored at least 39 points in three games this postseason, topping out at 45 on April 29 against Orlando. With that being said, can you name the last player to score at least 40 in the postseason for each NBA team?

Good luck!
