Extreme Basketball

    On March 12, 1970 the Cincinnati Royals of the American Basketball Association hosted the san Diego Rockets at the Cincinnati Gardens. The Royals scored 89 points in the first half. They got a little bit cold in the second half and the Rockets caught up. The game went into overtime, where the Royals were able to fend off the Rockets by a score of 165-151.

    On March 12, 1999 the Chicago Bulls hosted the New York Knicks at the United Center. The knicks scored 5 points in the second quarter. For a team to score 5 points in a quarter and win is a very difficult trick. The Knicks did not do it. The Bulls won by a score of 76-63. When you go to a Basketball game you never know if you will see a 5 point quarter or an 89 point half, thats a part of the joy of attending a Basketball game!!
