The 'Most points to start a season' quiz

After jumping out to a 3-0 series lead against the Houston Rockers, pressure is mounting on the Los Angeles Lakers in their Western Conference First Round series. 

Even with Austin Reaves returning to the hardwood for the Lakers in Game 5 and Kevin Durant missing his fourth contest of the series for Houston, the Rockets were able to force Game 6 with a 99-93 win in LA.

Reaves came off the bench to score 22 points with six assists and four rebounds in his first game since April 2, but he shot just 4-for-16 from the field and did most of his damage at the free throw line. Lakers fans will hope the inefficiency was just a matter of rust and he’ll be closer to his regular-season average of 49 percent shooting in Game 6. If so, the Rockets season could come to an end at home. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Reaves got off to a blistering start to the season – becoming one of just 30 players to score 170 points in his first five games –  before injuries limited him to just 51 games. How many of the players to reach that milestone can you name in five minutes?  

Good luck!
