There's little to love in awful, three-point-heavy NBA game of today

The Minneapolis Lakers played their last game in St. Louis on March 26, 1960, with Elgin Baylor scoring 33 points in a 97-86 loss to the Hawks. It was Game 7 of the Western Conference finals in an eight-team NBA.

There was no three-point shot in the NBA until the fall of 1979. Elgin got his points with a head shake and a drive, or by elevating above defenders for an 18-foot jumper.

The Timberwolves played their first game in Seattle on Nov. 3, 1989, with Tyrone Corbin scoring 20 points in a 106-94 loss to the SuperSonics.
