A spectacular announcement to the rest of the NBA! Somebody tell idiot Reggie Miller it was not all about the offense. The crushing defense helped set the tone for the other end.
https://www.basketball-reference.com/leaders/team_post_pts.html#all_team-most-pts-quarter-4-post 51 is the record - that's right @BigMaloe Rockets have #2 at 50. Crazy impressive
It was amazing and I thought it would be the record so I immediately looked it up. Is it the biggest quarter differential in a playoff game ever? I can’t look it up currently.
We were doing well so I didn't look at the score the entire quarter. I knew we were up big, at one point by 26 because Reggie said it...but it wasn't until the end when Reggie said "you heard it right, 50 point quarter" that I realized it was FIFTY! Insert Molly Shannon gif
I didn't realize how big it was until my wife said we have 44 points in this quarter. Then back to back 3s put the exclamation point on it.
Damn it I wish I could find that bayless tweet about how it's hard to be impressed because of thibbs coaching? Or something to that degree... what a tool. Lol
Kevin Harlan a former Timberwolves broadcaster was really gloating when Harden is 0-5 0-6 0-7 than the 2nd quarter Harden getting warm, 3rd quarter Harden became a Juggernaut Unstoppable 22 point 3rd quarter Michael Jordan only other to do that.
Kevin Harlan, Reggie Miller making excuses in the end, Oh there just an 8th seed. Crawling back to the gutter these broadcaster mindset they are.
Minnesota is a very good team. Their seed doesn't reflect that. And their defense is better than I expected by far. That 3rd quarter was a statement by the Rockets.
