The 'Three Point Era 30-point game leaders' quiz

The reigning-NBA champion Oklahoma City Thunder were pushed to the edge by the Kevin Durant-led Houston Rockets, but came out on top 125-124 in double-overtime on the night they raised their first NBA banner. 

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander opened his MVP defense with a 35-point effort -- including the game-winning free throws -- while Chet Holmgren added 28 points on 11-of-17 shooting and seven boards of his own.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Opening night was the 179th time SGA scored at least 30 points in his career. With that being said, can you name the players with the most 30-point games in the NBA’s Three Point Era (since 1979-80)? 

Good luck!
