Four players with 40+ points. BTW, Vandeweghe was a very under-rated player in his era.

[Burgz V2]

damn, and that was with only TWO TOTAL 3 pt field goals. that must have been a track meet.

Not really. Vandeweghe added little value to a basketball team. But not saurprised you don't see that. If all you care about is a box score then you would think he was underrated. Once again you are like a 12 year old who found a stat book but knows nothing at all about basketball.

His career's underrated because most only remember him as a role player on the Knicks.

was there anything called defense in this era?

They still happen. Suns/Nets went to 161/157 in 2OT in 2006.

[redhonda76]

That Denver team was coached by Doug Moe, who do not believe in defense. His offense was all about run and gun , this prevented teams from setting up defense.

[La Frescobaldi]

you were expecting to see defense in the highest scoring game ever?

Bran would cramp up in the second quarter at that speed.
