The 'Most 20-point playoff games by team' quiz

The Philadelphia 76ers were flying high after their Game 7 win to upset the Boston Celtics in the First Round of the NBA Playoffs. 

But then they ran into the red-hot New York Knicks

After New York fell down 2-1 against Atlanta, they won Games 5 and 6 by a combined 80 points (with a franchise record 51-point win in Game 6), they became the first team since 1997 to hold a 30-point lead in three-consecutive playoff games in their 137-98 Game 1 win over Philadelphia. 

The Knicks were once again led by Jalen Brunson, who scored 35 points in 31 minutes while going 12-of-18 from the field and shooting 50 percent from three-point range. But they got contributions from up and down the roster, with four of the team’s starting five scoring in double-figures and 14 different players making at least one shot. 

The Knicks will look to continue their scorching form in Game 2 on Wednesday at Madison Square Garden.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Brunson has five 20+ point games in the 2026 playoffs, and if the Knicks make a deep run he could threaten his own record of 15 such games set in 2025. With that being said, can you name the players with the most 20+ point games in one postseason for each NBA franchise?

Good luck!
