Game Of The Day - 3015 Edition (265 views)

[b. A. (good 2023)]

Day 1

76ers (106) vs Knicks (150)

On paper, it may not have been the prettiest matchup. But MSG sells out to watch the Knicks hang the banner. Star studded roster did not disappoint as Joel Embiid leads the way with 35 points. Knicks look like defending champs with a blowout win. Not showing bias, the Bobcats v Pipers matchup was worth checking out.



Day 2

Knicks (146) vs Bullets (136)

Showing it's no fluke, the Knicks go on the road and lead the league in scoring on day 2. New faces leading the way today. Kyrie with 32 points and 13 assists gets the player of the game in a borderline ... high scoring affair.



Day 3

Bobcats (146) vs Hornets (155)

Dear Diary - it only took three days to see a SHOOTOUT! PEW PEW PEWWWWW! The first overtime game of the year gives us a banger to watch. Hornets dominate the OT 18-9, lead by Tyler Johnson's 27.



Day 4

Lakers (145) Vs Pipers (149)

The fans love to watch this matchup. Defense is rarely in question and scoring is never a let down. These two strong offensive minded teams went to town in a thriller of a SHOOTOUT! PEW PEW PEWWWWW! Pipe-town takes the Lake Show down, lead by Patrick Ewing



Day 5

Cougars (126) vs Pipers (141)

In a matchup of two top teams, Ricky Pierce emerged as the surprising leader of the game. Having 31 & 11 to beat the cougars at home. NVE had 25 and 10 assists. Surprisingly ugly day for the league.



Day 6

Knicks (127) vs Bucks (129)

Knicks were down huge in the 4th quarter and had an amazing fourth quarter to make this a close contest. Marcus Eriksson leads the way with 27 points. Sadly, a game tying/buzzer beater was missed* (We assume - eric)



Day 7

Chaparrals (144) vs Pipers (158)

(Really hate using the Pipers in these) - But with that said, we have a new season-game high score in the classic SHOOTOUT! PEW PEW PEWWWWWW!!!! It's been a few days since the fans got to see one of these in the league. Beckman has a team high 40 points and 16 assists. Must see game for fans of no defense.



Day 8

Clippers (115) vs Jazz (114)

This game was basket for basket the entire way. Dennis Scott vs Derrick Coleman. 3D comes away victorious and possibly a buzzer beater or buzzer loser. 3D with 38 and 14 rebounds. *We do have a new season high game in Lakers (149) vs Chaparrals (159).



Day 9

Grizzlies (138) vs Stags (120)

Toughest choice we've had here at GOTD Recap. Another potential "No GOTD." We go with the overall highest score as we usually do in these circumstances. Michael Beasley kept the fans on their feet with 34 point performance.



Day 10

Jazz (142) vs Magic (107)

In another day of bad matchups, we focus on our first individual performance of the season. Derrick Coleman continues to be a stud. Leading the Jazz to a 7-2 record in the first 10 days. Insane 15-22 shooting leads to 41 points and 14 rebounds, both game highs. We assume he sat out the 4th quarter after leading by 30+ entering it.



Day 11

Spurs (95) vs Lakers (131)

It's not every day the fans get to see a 50 point game. Dominique put on a show, scoring 50 on 19 of 29 shooting.



Day 12

Chaparrals (144) vs Rockets (151)

Sound the alarms, we have a SHOOT OUT!!! PEW PEW PEWWWWWW! Scola leads the way with 31 points. Shooting was almost a combined 60% between both teams. Efficiency at it's finest. Home team comes up big.



Day 13

Cougars (152) vs Bobcats (129)

Highest scoring game of the night has the road team Cougs coming up with the dub. NVE has 29 and 10 assists in the big victory.



Day 14

Trail Blazers (123) vs Grizzlies (122)

Spurs (125) vs Chaparrals (127) OT

TWOOOOOO close games to give the fans some excitement. The big story of the night is Chris Mullin scoring 52 points but still coming up short in OT against the chaps. Chris Webber lead the way for the T'Blazers in the 1-point victory.



Day 15

Pacers (120) vs Bullets (123)

Clyde Drexler leads the game with 27 but the Pacers cant overcome the deficit the Bullets created in the 3rd quarter. Roy Hibbert with 26/11.



Day 16

Bullets (138) vs Amigos (154)

The fans get back-to-back nights of watching the Bullets play. Lackluster defense leads to the ... ShOoToUtTtTt!!!! PEW PEW PEWWWWWWWW!!!!!! Martell Webster Has 31/10 rebounds in the no-OT high scoring affair. Alpha Kaba?? Very good.



Day 17

Cavaliers (121) vs Raptors (118)

In a game of legends - James Worthy outduels Dave Jamerson to lead his Cavs to victory. Kyle "Get LBJ off my back" Kuzma has 13 assists. Very low scoring night for the league.



Day 18

Knicks (159) vs Stag (131)

Not enough offense yesterday? Welll SHOOUTOUT PEW PEW PEWWWWW alert! Knicks are frequent visitors here with their style of play. On this day, Serge Ibaka & Embiid both have 32 points. While Kyrie "The internet cant stop me" Irving gets POTG honors.



Day 19

Hornets (132) Vs Stags (125)

Derrick Rose sends the Stags crowd home unhappy with the huge performance. 28 points and 14 assists Kevin Love falls short in the loss with 33 points and 10 rebounds.



Day 20

Knicks (143) vs Pipers (152)

We just mentioned the Knicks, due to style of play showing up a lot. Pipe-town would be their counter-part, minus any inclination to play defense. PG battle alert caused this shootout PEW PEW PEWWWWWW. Kyrie vs John. 34/16 vs 31/14. Both players coming up huge, but Pipers get the big win at home vs the defending champs.

[b. A. (good 2023)]

Day 21
Pacers (126) vs Clippers (120) - OT
Great game that has all of the essentials. Semi high scoring. Overtime. Great individual performance. Clyde Drexler doesn't get official POTG, but Pacers needed the full stat line to get the OT dub. 38 points and 14 rebounds leads the game in both categories.

Day 22
Cavaliers (131) vs Rockets (142)
Shootout! Pew Pew PEWWWWWW!!!! What an interesting box score we have here. James Worthy has a game high 38. Markelle Fultz keeps winning rookie awards & comes away with an amazing 18 assists, that potentially is a season high - I'm not the stats guy. Meanwhile Valanciunas and Scola combine for 68 points to get the big win at home.

Day 23
Suns (139) vs Bucks (129)
The Suns get the big win on the road, lead by Al Cooper and his 30 point effort. Quite a high scoring affair considering teams shot combined 47% from the floor. This helped lead to an incredible statline for LaSalle Thompson. 26 points (9-12 shooting) and 20 rebounds. What an animal.

Day 24
Jazz (150) vs Rockets (121)
Derrick Coleman is the story here, folks. The man scores 43 points (16-29) with a game high 16 rebounds. The home team didn't have an answer for the high volume DC.

Day 25
SuperSonics (141) Vs Knicks (140)
Easily the best game of the night. We get a fun shootout - PEW PEW PEWWWWWW! and some kind of buzzer beater finish. Im sure it was a comical turn of events here. The Sonics were down 6 entering the 4th quarter. Embiid has 41 points, but Blatche has 36 points and 17 rebounds getting the well deserved POTG in this matchup.

Day 26
Trail Blazers (127) vs Raptors (129)
Point Guards in this league love to make it all about themselves. Barney Sedran had one of those performances. Leading the game in points & leading his team in rebounds and assists. Hey big men - HE'S FREAKING 5'5 AND LEADING THE TEAM IN REBOUNDS. Robin Lopez was quoted after the game saying "I couldn't believe he ran under my legs. That little mouse." Also - Shootouttttt PEW PEW PEWWWWW and close game.

Day 27
Spurs (131) vs Suns (105)
Not a lot of great games on today's slate. In a game that was never in doubt after the 1st quarter, Chris Mullin was able to put on a clinic. The high volume shooter went 17-28 and finished with 46 points. A league high on the day.

Day 28
Pacers (142) vs Pipers (141) - OT
OT shootout! PEW PEW PEWWWWWW!!! The Pipers were down 5 and able to make a 4th quarter comeback to send the game to OT. An very efficient OT added an extra 43 points to the total. Joe Dumars gets POTG honors with his huge 40 point performance adding 9 assists & 8 rebounds.

Day 29
Jazz (123) vs Trail Blazers (129)
It was almost like both teams just wanted to watch an incredible 1v1 game. Coleman Vs Winslow. Coleman scores 34 (14-24) & has an incredible 20 rebound performance. Sadly his 6 turnovers came up costly. Winslow has a game high 37 and 14 rebounds, snagging POTG honors in the home victory.

Day 30
Knicks (113) vs Clippers (116)
Clippers were down 5 entering the 4th and managed to get an OT. They rode Salah Mejri the whole game. 34 points and 7 rebounds gets him POTG honors. OT seemed boring, with a 10-7 scoring. Home team gets the dub.

Day 31
Rockets (133) vs Spurs (135)
Those who stayed up late (assuming that's why the game is listed last) got to see the highest scoring game of the evening. We had a good ol' fashioned shootout! PEW PEW PEWWWWW! Chris Mullin leads the way with 32 points, but Capela gets POTG honors with his 28 point 10 assist effort. Another potential buzzer beater/random hilarious moment. Home fans love it.

Day 32
Spurs (110) vs Trail Blazers (111)
The fans were so happy that no OT was needed here. A defensive barn-burner shows Tyrone Hill getting POTG honors with his 26 point and 11 rebound effort. Neither leading his team.

Day 33
Suns (121) vs Bullets (118)
Great matchup of teams here. Bullets have a great 4th quarter to keep the game competitive late. Antonio Davis leads the way with 33 points. John Collins gets POTG honors with 17 points and 17 rebounds in the close home loss.

Day 34
Trail Blazers (130) vs Amigos (146)
Fun game here. The home fans get a treat of a shootout - PEW PEW PEWWWWWW! The road team has Justise Winslow scoring 51 points and 9 rebounds. Tyrone Hill added an equally great performance of 32 points & 15 rebounds. Sadly it wasn't enough to overcome the total team effort lead by Martell Webster's 31 points. 8 of 10 players score double digits for the Amigos.

Day 35
Cavaliers (135) vs Hornets (129)
Cleveland comes in on the road looking for Lamelo, but finding Terry Mills. Terry put on a show, 37 points and 8 rebounds in the home loss. Jimmy Butler and Vooch combine for 59 in the win.

Day 36
Trail Blazers (124) vs Lakers (125)
The Lakers are in the midst of a big win streak here. Home crowd gets a thriller. Shoot. Out. PEW! PEW! PEWWWWWWW!! Winslow gets POTG with 34 and 14 rebounds, but 'Nique's team gets the win on his 33 point performance. Shawn Kemp, one time 73 point scorer for the Pipers only played 7 minutes, scoring 3 points on three throws.

Day 37
Hornets (118) vs Bobcats (152)
Potential No GOTD contender
Not very many close games nor high scoring games. Bobcats lead this all the way through. 72 points combined for Nurkic and Lopez. Tough stopping those two big men.

Day 38
Stags (118) vs SuperSonics (126)
The Stags came to fight. Gminski put up a tough 25 points and 11 rebounds. Wasn't enough to overcome Schayes, Blatche, and the rest of the home team. POTG honors go to Terry Rozier who finishes with 6 points (3-7) and 12 assists, 3 steals.

Day 39
Cougars (130) vs Raptors (124)
NVE leads the game with 33 points while Gooden provides 24 points and 12 rebounds. Sedran gets POTG honors in the loss (21 & 12 assists)

Day 40
Cougars (124) vs Bobcats (122) - OT
Back-to-back games and back-to-back excitement for the Cougars. Cat things vs Cat things. NVE seems fatigued after yesterday's big win. Shooting 7-23 (17 points & 10 assists). 28 and 16 for KAT to get the OT dub. Brook Lopez scores 44 in the loss.

*(I think)

Day 48
Knicks (146) vs Jazz (140)
Amar'e Stoudemire has a great individual night with 42 and 10 rebounds. Not enough to snag POTG or the win for the home team. Those honors again to go Kyrie who has 24 points and a day high 17 assists.

Day 49
Bobcats (108) vs Bulls (107)
The home crowd still comes out every night to show support to Yao Ming. Love to see it. The tall man put on a clinic on efficiency shooting 7-10 and 11-11 from the charity stripe (25 points).

Day 53
Knicks (144) vs Cougars (135)
Yes, this game is a shootout, PEW PEW PEWWWWW. But the must see TV is Kyrie Irving. 47 points on 19-25 shooting. 14 assists added on. With the help of Embiid's 30/17r game, the Knicks come out on top.

Day 54
Pacers (120) vs Bobcats (122)

Day 60
All Star Weekend
