Hakeem Olajuwon - 40 pts vs. Jazz (G4 - 1995 playoffs)

Down 1-2 and facing elimination, Hakeem delivers with a big 40 point game. Like usual, completely embarrassing defenders when guarded one on one. This was the first of 5 elimination games the Rockets faced in this playoff run, and they won all of them behind Hakeem who averaged 33/11/5/2 on 55% shooting in those elimination games. Hakeem broke open the game with a huge 27 point first half, while Drexler, who also had a 40 point game, kept the game out of reach with a big second half.

Best post moves of any center in the 90's. Smooth as butter...

@NeuMasterful I agree. It's upsetting to me that there's almost no footage of McHale's points in a game. :(
