[ESPN Stats & Info] The Suns and Cavaliers combined for 29 points in the first quarter tonight, which was the lowest scoring quarter in the NBA this season. That was until about 40 minutes later, when the Bucks and Raptors combined for 25 points in their first quarter, setting the new low mark.

Oh thanks
Defense
This game is as bad as Phoenix’s DHGate Grizzlies knockoff jersey.
Sounds like what happened Thursday Night Football for like a month.
Old heads approve
If not for CP3 we’d still have below 40 points

Glad to see so many teams protest the alleged lack of defense played during Donovan Mitchell’s 71-point explosion by refusing to score 71 points total in a game
Adam silver turned the sliders down after all the complaints about scoring inflation
Nba realized everyone was scoring too much
I’ve seen more scoring in a NBA 2K Pro-AM/Crew game with 5 minute quarters.
Jan 4th is when the winter blues really hit, comfirmed.
Pels and Grizzlies took all the first quarter points tonight it seems
NBA heard the complains, they are not giving any fouls rn
The Suns are hurting….real bad.
At least we’re seeing some good defense finally
Truly historic performance (x2)
Adam Silver put the magnetic rims on repel. It’s the only explanation after a lot of people bitched about scoring is too easy.
There’s something in the air tonight
this is real hoops. you idiot. you absolute fucking moron. this is how basketball was meant to be played, like a blind man vs a man with no hands at LA fitness
I score more on 6 minute quarters in 2k. disgusting
Right after a week of scoring explosion. Couldnt have written this better
2023 is wild
real hoops
Record setters 😤
Now this is real ball. 110+ pts is just asinine, 82-79 final scores are where it’s at.
Scoring inflation was transitory
Pain
That’s because everyone is tired from dropping all those 50 piece nuggets!
NBA podcasters in shambles.
Remarkable accomplishment.
Offense is getting too hard, time to change the rules
Gematria practitioners in high gear…
I have no idea what im watching today wnba probably
Defense fans’ 12/25
These teams are a disgrace to the integrity of the NBA. I’m gonna switch to the thunder magic game to experience some real basketball
I can’t wait for angry r/nba posts about how low scoring games destroying the league
