7. Dominique Wilkins, 12/10/1986

The Bulls, the Bulls, the Bulls -- well, it just so happens that they're here again, but on the wrong side of the coin. On the other side was the dominant Dominique Wilkins, who put 57 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists on the Hawks' conference foes.

In doing so, Wilkins was very efficient while using 43.2% of his team's possessions. He was 19 of 28 and accumulated a true shooting of 76.5%. That makes for an offensive rating of 160.

As for Wilkins' pair of steals and single block, they were just as telling in Atlanta's 123-95 win. At game's end, that was a defensive rating of 101 and a Game Score of 51.6 in 40 minutes for the one they call 'Nique.
