Crazy Stat: The Spurs are the first team in history to win by 15+ pts after trailing by 15+ pts at halftime
Per ESPN. The San Antonio Spurs defeat the Portland Trail Blazers 114-93 after trailing 41-58 at halftime.
Down 17 at halftime, and ended up winning by 21 points.
Just wow.
38 point swing on the road in the team’s first playoffs is WILD
40 point swing. They were down 19 at one point
and even then it was like eh, it’s not even 20 nbd
Wemby played lights out insane defense. Picked everyone’s pocket and blocked everyone.
The anti-gravity to Curry’s shooting. Everything gets abducted by the alien.
They outscored them in the second half 73-35. I wonder where that ranks in all time playoff halves
Damn, I think I recall one of the halves in the Finals between Spurs and Heat in 2014 to be that one sided, and that was absolutely historic at the time, so you might be onto something here!
It was the first half of game 3 or game 4. Spurs were shooting 90%, then it dropped down to 70% in the second half.
Bums
At a quick glance, tied 4th all time for all halves, and best second-half differential in playoff history.
Edit: PapaJohnsGarlic100 is right - it’s second at best!
I know of one more lopsided
2018 Warriors over Rockets in the 2nd half of game 6 was 64-25
Also came back from being down 15 in Game 3.
You can’t sleep on this team, they’re never out of a game.
And blew a 14 point 4th quarter lead in game 2 lmao
The Spurs, collectively, have ADHD
If it ends up being Spurs vs Wolves, no game will be decided with more than 5 minutes left unless it’s 30 pts. Neither team knows when a game is over, whether they’re up or down
Seeing the regular season games… Yeah. It will go down the wire either way.
After that game 2 and the Denver game w/o Wemby, I get more worried when theyre up double digits going into 4th.
Scoot was mega ballin and we just kinda amazed lol
He spent all his allotted points in Game 3, that’s why he got 0 points today.
The first half of the season we were doing the opposite and giving away games in the late third and the fourth with boneheaded plays and shot selection. Ever since our young guys grew out of that dumb nonsense it’s been absolutely over for the rest of the league.
In a playoff game? Or ever, period
I think just playoffs
In playoff game according to the graphic
Has to be playoffs only.
Am confident about it, because I always remember that in Kobe’s 81 point game, we were down 18 and won by 18 in the end. 81 18 81 18 81 18
you posted this 18 minutes ago
Even church leagues, never happened
If you’ve watched this team all year you realize how on brand it is
Yea I unironically never doubted them.
Second half scoring - 35 to 73
Spurs were insane and the Blazers folded. Maybe they celebrated a little too early at the half time break.
Go Spurs Go😤
I woke up at 4am for this game, my day usually starts 3-4 hours later, and was sullen up until the 3rd quarter. Insane comeback by the Spurs, glad to have you back Wemby!!
So close to 20⁄20. They should do that next game. I see the vision
that’s never been done before? that seems odd lemme check
Playoff game only. OP didn’t properly phrase it
i thought so too but i can’t find any other game where that happened, regular season or playoff lol
I mean, 73-35 in a half in the Playoffs is insane…
I think playoff only in graphics but I can’t find any instances in the regular season. Appreciate if anyone finds it
Mr Wemby had 7 blocks….. god save us all
Tuff
I’d like to dedicate this W to the fantastic Mr. Fox
I LOVE THIS TEAM SO DAMN MUCHHH
Does anyone remember the half time scores between the Warriors and Blazers in 2019? That was a series I remember the Blazers being up double digits for a lot of the game and blowing it every single game.
It’s in our DNA
POR lead by 17 by half
SAS ended the game with 21 pt lead 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Sigh, really not getting any help from the Blazers for Ant’s injury.
West is really going to be a cake walk for both the Thunder and Spurs.
Thunder get the Suns and then banged up Lakers Spurs get the Blazers and then banged up Wolves…maybe the Nuggets. But the Nuggets are proven frauds now.
spurs trailing by big points = buff
It even took facing some real tough competition in the battle hardened Portland Trail Blazers
i thought my -5.5 was COOKED at half lmao. NEVER BACK DOWN NEVER WHAT
There’s no fucking way that’s true lmao
They damn near did a 30pt swing last game too. Portland led by 15 halfway through the 3rd in game 3 and the Spurs ended up winning by 12
“HELP! Call an ambalamps!…but not for me!” 🔫
*in the playoffs
