The best two words in sports are back: Game 7. With the Los Angles Clippers season on the line, stars James Harden and Kawhi Leonard scored 28 and 27 points respectively at the Intuit Dome to beat the Nuggets 111-106 in Game 6. Regardless of how Game 7 goes, Kawhi Leonard said he’s just enjoying the experience after missing the past couple of postseasons due to injury.

“I’m enjoying every game,” Leonard said in his post-game 6 presser.

“I’ve been on the sidelines the last couple of years in the playoffs. I don’t take it for granted. I just try to cherish every moment and thank god for being able to play.”

Which brings us to today’s quiz. There are no brighter lights in professional sports than Game 7 of a playoff series, and Leonard has the experience to lift the Clippers to the second round. With that being said, can you name every player to score 40 points or more in the NBA’s ultimate do-or-die stage?

Good luck!
