Fun with Box Scores: A wild opening week to 2022

Long-time readers know that I like box-scores. One of my first pieces here was from November 8, 2014, entitled How a Coach Reads a Box Score.

Five years later, I wrote about a game in which the Spurs beat the Rockets despite every one of the Spurs starters having a negative plus-minus. (Maybe you remember that game. Some crazy and wonderful things went down that night.) The Spurs also allowed James Harden to score 50 points (including an NBA record 24 for 24 on free throws). Rockets center Clint Cappella had over 20 points AND 20 rebounds while shooting 100% from the floor.
