Make it 34. Wolves just trailed 16-0 vs. the Spurs.
In the 30 seasons of play-by-play data, there have been only 33 games where a team trailed by more than 15 points before scoring.

The 2025-26 Jazz have 3 of those games! No other team has had more than 1 in the same season.

29 of the 30 teams have gotten at least 639 total minutes from rookies or 2nd-year players.

The Bucks have gotten 26.

Those 26 minutes came from 2-way guard Mark Sears, who was waived today.

Cavs trailed most of the game, but beat the Pacers to avoid becoming the first team to match its loss (or win) total from last season (64-18).

Now the Pacers (w/ a 13-game losing streak) are one loss from matching their loss total from last season (50-32).

The Celtics' 146 points on 92 possessions (158.7 per 100) against the Clippers last night was the 3rd most efficient performance for any team in the 30 years of play-by-play data.

The '25-26 Celtics now account for 2 of the 12 times a team has scored more than 150 pp100p in the last 30 years.

All hail the Bucks for running a two-man play (empty-corner DHO) in a late-game situation.

Maxey is incredible, but he takes some really bad shots.

It's very weird seeing Jokic get hurt. He's always seemed indestructible.
