Defense is at a premium in the NBA Playoffs, but sometimes good offense beats good ‘D’.

Did you know that 40 different players have scored 40 more points on at least four separate occasions in the history of the NBA postseason?

We’ll give you a wild guess at what your Trivia Tuesday task is this week.

Yeah, you’ve got to name them.

We’ve given you the number of 40-point games each player had during his playoff career and the teams each had those big games for; all you have to do is name the player.

Yes, last names only are fine, and you’ve got 10 minutes on the clock. Good luck!
