I'm not sure how many games I'll end up playing, but I intend to occasionally work in a game or two from the 1974-75 ABA set by featuring a 19 year old Moses Malone. He played for the fairly mediocre Utah Stars. Since I grew up a Rockets fan and Mo was one of my favorite players, I thought it would be fun to play a few games from his rookie season. First up, the San Antonio Spurs with George Gervin.
What a crazy game! I keep saying that, but check it out.
Stars 36 38 27 35 - 136
Spurs 36 34 24 26 - 120
Highlights -
* Both teams shot like crazy in the first half. Utah was 31 of 44 (70%) while San Antonio was 28 of 49 (57%). The half time score was 74-70.
* Utah's dynamic duo of Malone and Ron Boone were a combined 30 of 40 from the floor!
* Malone led all scores with 34 points and also grabbed a game high 12 rebounds.
* Boone scores 31 for the Stars.
* While George "The Iceman" Gervin scored 26 for the Spurs, Rich Jones led the team with 29.
* Swen Nater led San Antonio with 11 rebounds.
* Final shooting percentages - Utah 67% (56/84)
San Antonio 52% (49/95)
