Take a look at this box score and look at the shooting percentages and the points by the starters without looking at the end score and it's surprising. I don't get how you shoot this comparatively low to the other team shooting so well and you still win. It's 57.7% versus 46.2%.

Detroit got 20 defensive boards on 33 missed shots.

Golden State got 30 defensive boards on 50 missed shots.

Detroit made more of its opportunities on the defensive glass and offensive glass.

Due to the turnovers and offensive rebounding, Detroit had more FGAs.

93 to 77.

Got it: Bucks vs. Jazz - Box Score - November 25, 2017 - ESPN

Yes, pseudo-qualifications of being one shot within 50.0% but against Milwaukee and 56.8% for the team? I'm counting it.

I'm not.

Jerebko, Bradley, and Neto needed to make those 1 extra shots, or miss about 2 less shots.

You can't say "Got it" unless you've really got it.

That would be like Jeremy Evans announcing his dunk in the dunk contests before he's caught the ball.

I know you don't like announcing things or celebrating too early.

They just needed to make one of their misses, not take another and make them. I'm counting it and I get the final say. You're not and you get the final say. So there!

So we both get the final say! :)

I also meant if they had missed two less shots.

Also, you've already counted too many similar games like this for it to be special.

OK, I abandon the rest of them. This one counts. We don't shoot well enough for this not to be special. I wouldn't count it for the Warriors. But I'm counting it for the Jazz. I don't think the other examples were this out of the norm for their respective season. I mean, I think I even mentioned a game or the whole team shot 51% but everyone was at or within one of 50%.

I want to know if one of Jerebko's two misses was a putback or not. Neto may have been blocked, sonpossible bad shot choice, but not a bad shot. The 0-1 is only one away whether that be a make, one less miss, or another shot taken and made.

You've been great the past few weeks for the laughs.

Thanks.

This is why I like your activity.

Actually, take a look at this one - it looks better, right?

Jazz vs. Clippers - Box Score - November 30, 2017 - ESPN

About the same. I look at the number of people that failed the criteria.

3 people for the Jazz, 2 for the Clippers.

I think similar to the previous one posted. (3 on one team, 2 on the other).

Both teams don't have to qualify. I'm just listening how many failed the criteria.

We also have never found the reverse one either, where every player on a team shoots below 50%.

There was one game this year where we shot 30.9% and a few players shot 50% but I don't think anyone shot above that. I only know that because I was compiling the shooting games in that one thread.

Good point, but I do think this one is better than the other because two of those three that don't qualify were 0-1. They were only there and playing because of the blowout. So if the game had ended when they came in, we would've only had one player that was 4/10. That may sound crazy, but that is better than having a few regular rotation players who are shooting 3-7 in the middle of a regular game.

Foster, Ostertag, and Morris ruined the overall 28.6% FG in this game, with their efficient shooting:

Gobert, Sefolosha, Udoh, and Jerebko ruined it in the game you mentioned (it was 30.3%):
