Michael Jordan - 46pts vs Knicks, Clutch Everywhere (1996 ECSF, Gm 3)

Early in the 96 Playoffs, Jordan had back issues that slowed him down a bit. Watching here you wouldn't have thought so. In spite of the Bulls shooting woes, MJ's jumper and killer clutch play were rampant. He finished the game with 46 points on a pretty good 48% shooting, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Knicks - who played a well-rounded game. This was New York's 1 and only win of the series. Jordan averaged 36/5/4 in those 5 games.
