ATLANTA -- Perhaps FedEx officials were standing courtside, ready to ship the ball to the Hall of Fame. Or would that be to the Hall of Lame?For nearly nine minutes, Atlanta had not scored a single point in the fourth quarter Tuesday night against Cleveland. Dusty pages were being turned back in the NBA record book.
Has a team in league history ever not scored in a quarter?
Nope.
Two teams once scored just two points in a quarter. And Cavaliers coach Mike Brown was a San Antonio assistant in 2002-03 when the Spurs held Denver to three points in the first, still a record for that quarter.
"It was like, 'I don't want to be in the record book if we don't score,''' said Atlanta center Al Horford.
