MOST MEMORABLE OPPOSING PERFORMANCE:

There are a few candidates for this. LeBron’s 49 in Brooklyn with the Nets looking to tie the series in Game 4 effectively ended the Nets season. Kyle Lowry’s 36 in a narrow game 5 in the 2014 First Round swung the pendulum in the direction of the Raptors. The Hawks collective 41-21 third quarter evisceration of the Nets in Game 6 of the 2015 First Round ended any upset hopes.

The choice? Nate Robinson’s 23 points in Chicago’s dramatic fourth-quarter comeback in Game 4 of the First Round helped wipe away a 14 point Net lead that stood with 3 minutes left on the clock. After three overtimes, Chicago triumphed to go up 3-1. On the nostalgia meter, it receives a very high score: PAIN.
