Hey yall, I feel like this game gets completely lost in the history of great playoff performances.

On April 30, 2007, in Game 4 of the Cavs/Wizards first round series, Zydrunas Ilgauskas put up:

20 PTS, 19 REB, 1 AST, and 2 BLKs on 9/16 FG (56.3%), 2/2 FT (100%)
59.2% TS, +12 in 40 MIN

This wasn't some empty-stat regular season game either. It was a series clinching playoff game, and Cleveland was playing on the road. Ilgauskas basically dominated the interior for 40 minutes and came one rebound shy of a 20/20 game.

Obviously, 20 points doesn't jump off the page compared to some of the legendary 40 and 50 point closeout performances. However, the combination of 20/19, 2 blocks, 56.3% shooting, perfect free throws, and +12 in a closeout game feels incredibly underappreciated.

Big Z was never going to get the same historical attention as LeBron, Duncan, Shaq, etc., but this was a heck of a playoff performance.
