Does American high school basketball count?

According to this, there has never been a shutout in a quarter in the history of NBA:

In 1972, the Buffalo Braves scored 58-23 versus the Boston Celtics in the last quarter (and still lost 126-118).

 

In 1991, the Cleveland Cavaliers defeated Miami Heat 148-80, with a fourth quarter of 42-13.

Three players of Kosovo's national team plus their physiotherapist have been injured in a car crash, but sadly and more notably, international Gazmend Sinani (aged 27, former Fenerbahce) died in the accident.

Gibraltar has less than 35.000 people. I find it amazing they manage to have national teams in team sports. Then I'm surprised even more today, seeing that apparently they have enough U16 boys and girls to field teams in that category as well :yikes:

It's probably all of their high school students. :lol:

Khimki (and former Sacramento Kings) player Tyler Honeycutt has been killed aged 27. He shot at police in LA and they shot back. He didn't shoot very well, they did --> they didn't get injured, he died :facepalm:

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
