Basketball Box Score Mystery

Can Steve Ballmer identify a famous basketball game purely by the numbers? Can you? That's our fun and enlightening challenge on this new episode of the Numbers Geek podcast, featuring the former Microsoft CEO and current owner of the L.A. Clippers. With cameos by Stephen A. Smith, Steve Kerr and Sue Bird. We’ve given Steve multiple pages of statistics from a specific legendary NBA game -- a box score showing the scoring by quarter plus a bunch of other numbers about the game and players. But the stats we’ve given him are missing some very important details. We’ve removed all references to the teams and players, and taken away everything except the numbers. Follow along with Steve to see if you can figure it out before he does. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
