Former Wildcats have scored the most points ever in an NBA postseason from a single school

We are now well into the 2020 NBA Playoffs as the conference finals are currently taking place.

In the West, the Los Angeles Lakers currently hold a 3-1 series lead over the Denver Nuggets. In the East, the Miami Heat hold a 3-1 lead over the Boston Celtics.

However, the big story of the playoffs has been the domination of former Kentucky stars and the Cats have former players on every team remaining.

Jamal Murray has arguably been the hottest player in the league since they restarted the season as he has gone on a scoring barrage to make two 3-1 deficit comebacks to put the Nuggets in the conference finals.

On Wednesday, Tyler Herro set a Heat rookie record for most point in a playoff game as he went for 37 points on 14/21 shooting to lead the Heat to their 3-1 lead.

Also with the Heat, first time All-Star Bam Adebayo has been a force in the post and came up with a massive block on a Jason Tatum dunk attempt to win game 1 for the Heat.

Anthony Davis has been one of the top players in the league for several years now, but he has been dominant for the Lakers and hit a buzzer beater three to give the Lakers a win in game 2.

With that being said, the former Kentucky stars are putting on a scoring clinic as ESPN reports that former Kentucky players have accounted for 1,755 points so far in the playoffs.

That mark is the most points by any school’s alumni in a single NBA postseason and we have yet to reach the finals that is guaranteed to include former Cats.

Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro will look to close out Enes Kanter and the Celtics in game 5 Friday night at 8:30 PM on ESPN.

Likewise, Anthony Davis and the Lakers will look to close out Jamal Murray and the Nuggets Saturday night at 9:00 PM on TNT.
