The Scorekeepers Nightmare

     On January 11, 1984 the San Antonio Spurs traveled to Denvers McNichols Arena to play the Nuggets. The 9429 fans in attendance certainly did not expect the ultra high scoring game that they got. At the end of the first quarter the Nuggets led by score of 47-40. In many games that would have been the score at the end of the first half. The game seemed to settle down as the Nuggets score only 35 points, it was enough to outscore the Spurs who scored a game low 24 points. The two clubs went into the locker room with a score of 82-64.
   The third did not show itself as part of a record scoring game as the Nuggets scored 35 and the Spurs outpointed thier hosts by three points. Things got all out of control in the fourth quarter as the Spurs pumped in amazing 53 points for a second half total of 91 points, and still lost the game as the Nuggets scored 46.
   The game stats were amazing Spurs 46 rebounds, 42 assists and 34 fouls. The Nuggets had 52 rebounds, 44 assists and 30 fouls.
   Tomorrow we will take a look at franchise movements, honest it will be interesting. Have a nice week.
