The 'Most field goals-per-game by playoffs' quiz

When the New York Knicks take the floor against the San Antonio Spurs at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night, they’ll be ending two droughts and eyeing the end to a third. 

On a small scale, it will be the Knicks first game in nine days after sweeping the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals. On a much larger one, it will be their first NBA Finals game in 27 years. 

The Knicks have been on a heater since losing two in a row to the Atlanta Hawks way back in the first round. Since then, they’ve won 11-consecutive contests – including sweeps over Philadelphia and Cleveland – by an average of 24.4 points-per-game. 

The final drought Eastern Conference Finals MVP Jalen Brunson and Co. hope to end is a 53-year one, with the Knicks last title coming in 1972-73. Standing in their way is Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs, who defeated the Knicks in their most recent Finals appearance in 1999. 

A major reason the Knicks are red-hot at the best time has been Jalen Brunson, who has averaged 26.9 points and 6.6 assists to 2.3 turnovers-per-game in the playoffs. He’ll also make history with his father (a 1999 New York Knick) when he hits the hardwood, as they’ll become the first father-son duo to appear in the Finals for the same franchise. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Brunson currently leads the NBA Playoffs with 9.7 field goals-per-game. How many of the players to average the most field goals-per-game in each NBA postseason since the NBA/ABA merger can you name in six minutes?

Good luck!
