That can't be right, can it? Does that say 174 points? And no overtime?

Yep, that's exactly right. The Salt Lake City Stars, the G League affiliate of the Utah Jazz, put up a 174-spot in 48 minutes on Thursday night against the Rip City Remix in a 174-146 win over the Portland Trail Blazers' affiliate.

That's 3.625 points per possession for Salt Lake City.

Pretty much all the stats are remarkable, but here are a bunch that caught the eye:

  • Shot 57% from the floor as a team (62-for-109)
  • Those 109 shot attempts equate to more than two shots in every minute of action
  • Went 18-for-41 from 3-point range (44%) and 18-for-24 at the line
  • Elijah Harkless led the way with a relatively tame 34 points (13-for-21 FG, 4-9 3FG, 4-5 FT)
  • John Tonje had 29 points, and Sean East II had 22 points
  • Oscar Tshiebwe had 20 points and 22 rebounds (12 of them offensive)
  • They had four other players in double figures
  • Four players had at least five assists
  • In the second and third quarters combined, they had 100 points (52 and 48)

The crazy thing about it is that those shooting percentages aren't otherworldly, just very good.

These were two teams just getting up and down and putting up shot after shot after shot.

It might be tough to replicate such a style for a full season, although the '7 Seconds or Less' Suns would like a word.

Fans certainly got their money's worth if they like buckets.
