1975 ABA playoffs - Spirits at Nets (game 2)

Spirits 131
Nets    112


The Nets cut the lead to six at one point in the fourth quarter, but the Spirits answered every run and controlled the last half of the fourth.

* Billy "The Whopper" Paultz had a terrible game hitting just 4 of 16 shots.

* Marvin Barnes had a monster game for the Spirits.

* Maurice Lucas had an all around excellent game.

* Dr. J started slowly, but finished with another really strong game.

* Larry Kenon and Dr. J combined for almost half of the Nets points and more than half of their rebounds.

I don't know how the Spirits lost 52 games. Apparently their defense was lousy, but boy can they rebound. They out-rebounded the Nets 62-47 in this game.

1975 ABA Playoffs - Spirits at Nets (game 1)

Spirits of St. Louis   136
New Jersey Nets        124 OT

The end of regulation was pretty interesting. The Spirits controlled the second half, but the Nets started whittling away at the lead. They hit 3 of 4 three pointers down the stretch. Finally, with just three "shots" left and the Nets trailing 117-120, Julius Erving made a shot and was fouled. He hit the foul shot to tie the game. The Spirits failed to score on their final regulation possession as did the Nets.
 
It was all St. Louis in the overtime as they pull away from the Nets.
