Game 7 and 51

With a number of NBA playoff series going 7 games we have a TWIST question dealing with Game 7 records.

Who holds the NBA record for most points in a Game 7 with 51?

  • Michael Jordan
  • Allen Iverson
  • Chet Walker
  • Jason Tatum
  • Tatum O’Neal

Answer: Jason Tatum scored 51 points against the Philadelphia 76ers in the 2023 Eastern Conference Semifinals. The Celtics could’ve used Tatum today in their Game 7 loss to the Sixers in Boston – he was scratched for the game because of left knee tightness.
