The 12 Best Individual NBA Playoff Performances Over the Past 30 Years
Who has been the most dominant for their team when it matters most?

9. Patrick Ewing, 5/4/1990

Knicks versus Celtics. Larry Bird and Kevin McHale against Patrick Ewing and Maurice Cheeks. Game 4 in the one and only Madison Square Garden. It was a '90s classic.

It was Ewing who took center stage, though, racking up 44 points and 13 rebounds in 40 minutes.

The big man was everywhere and doing everything, also assisting on five makes, forcing seven turnovers and blocking two shots. With a defensive rating of 88, Ewing showed he was a force to be reckoned with, and one that was unstoppable on both ends that night.

The dominant performance amounted to a Game Score of 46.4 when all was said and done.
