watching #NBAXMAS #Knicks vs #Cavs and Cincinnati finished the 1st quarter with 39 points, NYC with 20-something.

is it me, or has there been a shift with +30 point 1st quarters in the last 10 years? i just don’t remember 1st quarters to be so stacked back in 1990s, the era of Jordan, Chuck and Shaq.

i mean, at that time, Steve Kerr was a 3-point specialist in the Bulls. he wasn’t in the opening 5 most of the time.

3-pointers have completely changed how 1st quarters are played in the NBA.
