90 points at half? Shaq goes shopping and they don't cover the game at all. Dudes are straight up being assholes even when they're nice to each other. You're here for fans, not each other.
That's the franchise record... they did that in the 2nd half. From what I could find, the NBA record in any half and in the first half is 107 by the Suns. The Rockets' 90 points in the first half ties for 2nd most in a first half. Again... from what I could find.
TNT just put up stats for any half. First half only is below. Here's the only other 90 pt first halves. btw: Nuggets gave up 80+ seven times that year [thead]RkDateTeamOpponentQtrPSPA+/-Final[/thead] 1Sat Nov 10 1990Phoenix SunsDenver Nuggets1st-2nd10767+40W173-1432Wed Nov 7 1990Denver NuggetsSan Antonio Spurs1st-2nd9083+7L153-161 Provided by Basketball-Reference.com: View Original Table Generated 11/16/2017.
how does 107 even happen? they probably weren't even shooting many 3's if it was 1990. did they do like the kings' owner and just leave one guy back?
If I'm the Rockets, I'm looking to salt the earth and make sure nothing grows. Full decimation should be the only option for a contending team.
