The 'Most NBA Playoff bench-points' quiz

The Oklahoma City Thunder needed a win over the Spurs to avoid taking a 2-0 Western Conference Finals deficit to San Antonio. 

They got it behind another 30-point playoff game from MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and 17 important points off the bench from Alex Caruso. While SGA returned to his MVP-form in Game 2, Caruso has been particularly impressive for OKC as well. He’s combined for 48 points on 61.5 percent shooting, and his 17 in Game 2 came on 5-of-7 from the floor and 3-of-4 from three-point range.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Caruso has scored 489 points off the bench in his NBA playoff career. With that being said, can you name the players to score at least 470 points off the bench in the postseason since the NBA/ABA merger in 1976-77 can you name in eight minutes? 

Good luck!
