If you haven’t noticed yet, Derrick White had himself quite a night in the Spurs’ Game 3 win vs. the Denver Nuggets. He scored a career-high 36 points, including 26 in the first half, setting a few milestones along the way.
Last time a Spurs guard not named Ginobili/Parker had 30+ points in a Playoff game: Avery Johnson in 1998.
