NBA 2011-12
In what was one of the most impressive comebacks in NBA playoff history, one team came back from a 24-point deficit with eight minutes left in the fourth quarter to win by one. Which team pulled off this tremendous feat in the 2012 NBA Playoffs? | 2011-12 NBA Season
|
Los Angeles Clippers. This occurred during Game 1 of the first round playoff series between the Clippers and the Memphis Grizzlies. The Clippers at one point were down by as many as 27 points. After being down by 24 with about eight minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Clippers went straight to work. The team went on an incredible 26-1 run to take the lead, leaving the Grizzlies scoreless for almost the entire final eight minutes. It wasn't until the final minute that the Grizzlies scored with a jumper from Rudy Gay. However, Chris Paul was able to capitalize on two clutch free throws, and Gay missed a potential game-winner, leaving the Clippers with an astounding victory.
The Charlotte Bobcats made NBA history at the end of the 2011-12 season by setting a new all-time team record for the lowest win percentage in one season. Who was the head coach for the unfortunate franchise at the time? | 2011-12 NBA Season
|
Paul Silas. The Charlotte Bobcats ended the season with a paltry win percentage of 0.106 and a record of 7-56. This surpassed the previous record held by the 1972-73 Philadelphia 76ers (0.110, 9-73). The Bobcats capped off the regular season with a 23-game losing streak. The Charlotte Bobcats and Paul Silas parted ways shortly after the team's season ended. Mike Dunlap was selected as the new head coach a few weeks later.
During the 2011-12 season, which team made history as the first NBA team to don camouflaged uniforms? | 2011-12 NBA Season
|
Toronto Raptors. The Raptors wore these jerseys in honor of the Canadian military. The team first wore the uniforms on March 21, 2012 in a home game versus the Chicago Bulls.
On February 19, 2012, the Oklahoma City Thunder became the first team to have one player to score at least 40 points, another player to score at least 50 points, and a third player to record a triple-double all in one game. Who played each role? | 2011-12 NBA Season
|
40 points: Russell Westbrook, 50 points: Kevin Durant, Triple-Double: Serge Ibaka. This occurred during an overtime victory against the Denver Nuggets. Kevin Durant dropped 51 points (along with eight rebounds, three assists, and four steals), Russell Westbrook scored 40 points (and also tallying up nine assists and four rebounds), and Serge Ibaka had 14 points, 15 rebounds, and 11 blocks in the first triple-double of his NBA career. It was also Durant's first ever 50-point performance in the NBA, which is surprising since at that point he already had two scoring titles under his belt.
