San Antonio Spurs at Philadelphia 76ers Box Score, March 24, 1989 | Basketball-Reference.com

Payton and Barkley had 100% shooting from the field, free throw line and 3-point line with decent steals.

Rockets vs. Wizards - Box Score - October 30, 2019 - ESPN

Washington all shot 50% or above... and they lost. 158 points. 62.6%. Lost. No defense.

Exact tie for 10th all-time highest team percentage in a loss. http://bkref.com/tiny/SEGOu

I give them the tiebreaker for higher percent because the three-point percentage was higher with higher volume as well. And they were better on free throws in percent and volume.

I know we don’t count this, but everyone did shoot within one shot of 50%: Clippers vs. Jazz - Box Score - October 30, 2019 - ESPN

Rockets, Wiz combine for history in 317-pt. game

I don’t understand why they have to say st true shooting percentage be a shot clock era. It seems that before there was a shot clock, there’d be fewer possessions and therefore lower scoring games. Not sure what the shot clock era is relevant. It’s not like records are not searchable before that.

Can you make a list now, by going through this thread, of all the ones that are 50% or better, and all the ones that are 50% or worse?

After this, we may have to start looking at all better than 50% (not equal to), and all under 50%.

LeBron James had 12 assists, 33 points, and shot .619, with 1 steal.

How many times has he reached those level? (60% FG). You don't even have to include the block, which he got too.

How does that compare to Alonzo Mourning, Marcus Camby, or Dikembe Mutombo? Maybe throw in Ben Wallace too.

Cancel this one. Given what LeBron James has done this season, 12 assists is too low now.

How about 30+ points, 16+ assists, 60% FG, and 2 steals?

It would also be nice if he made his free throws.

Wow. I had no idea that Mark Eaton is The Best Center With Triple Double Blocks.

Surprised that Mourning never did it.

When you posted the stat yesterday, I thought 14 was a medium low number. But apparently it's the highest, lol.

I'm trying to figure out which thread to put this next post in. I didn't want to start a "Yet another question for MHSL82" thread.

I considered putting this in the Magic Words thread. But if the answer is NO or 0, then it won't belong.

Here's the question.

When have the Jazz come back from down 3-0, 3-1, or 3-2 to win a series?

In particular, I'm more interested in the Malone and Sloan Jazz (I just thought of this rhyme), but other Jazz teams are fine too.

If necessary, you can also look up the Jazz coming back from down 2-0 in a best of 5.

But only if the answer to the ones in a best of 7, is 0 times.

I'm trying to capture situations in which they've faced elimination.

Coming back from down 2-1 in a best of 5 is not as impressive, so don't include that.

It’s “Sloan and Malone Jazz” because Malone prefers being second.

Here I was excited to see a response in this thread. I clicked on the thread, thinking that you had already found the answer and were going to post the results.

@MHSL82, can you help with this?

I don't think they've ever come back from 3-0, 3-1.

I think only the 2006-2007 Jazz have come back from 0-2.

What about 3-2 though? Can you help with that one?
