Cedric Coward currently leading all players 6'6" or shorter in rebounds per game
(also shooting 69% on 3-pointers)

Darius Acuff had 34 points, 13 assists, six rebounds and two steals tonight. Michael Jordan, Steve Francis, LeBron James and Stephen Curry are the only other rookies in NBA history to match or exceed all four of those marks in a single game.

We've witnessed historic basketball in the last week.
Clippers' 20.6 turnover percentage (turnovers per 100 plays) is now tied for the 5th highest in a 4-game span to start a season in NBA history, per @Stathead.
Stathead retweeted
The LA Clippers’s 94 turnovers in a 4-game span are the most in a 4-game span to start a season since the New Jersey Nets had 96 back in 1996, per @Stathead
The most turnovers in a 4 game stretch to start the season is 122 by the Phoenix Suns.

In the context of NBA history, dropping 40+ points at 6'2 and 38 years old is literally unheard of. The oldest player other than Steph even under 6'5 to drop 40 is Dame, who had 43 at age 34.
Steph has now scored 40 or more 21 times since turning 34, breaking a tie with Michael Jordan for the most such games in league history.

57 rookies have averaged 15 shots a game their first season.
Below they are ranked by TS%.

After his 47-point performance tonight in Cleveland, Anthony Edwards has now scored 133 points in four games this season. That is the most by any player in Timberwolves history through the first four games of the season.
The previous high was 120, which Edwards set in 2024.

The Sports Equinox is today!
So here's a wild connect, bit of an Immaculate Grid type of deal:
-On the diamond, all 10 of the MLB players at some point played for the Astros or Dodgers.
-On the ice, all but Karlsson played for the Rangers or Islanders.

Zaccharie Risacher has 5 blocks and 7 steals through the three games. Only 8 other Mavericks have matched or exceeded those numbers over a three game span the last twenty years. (@Stathead & @bball_ref)
This is a good list of guys...

Sports Equinox Monday:
There are games in the NBA, NHL, NFL and Major League Baseball all on the same night for just the 33rd time, according to the founders of @bball_ref, since the first time it happened in October 1971.
And: Dream at Valkyries in Game 5 of the WNBA Finals.

The Wolves held Scottie Barnes scoreless for just the second time in his NBA career (2023-04-04 vs CHA)
He shot 0/12 and turned it over 3 times.
It's just the 10th instance of a player scoring 0 points on 12 or more FGA since 2005, per @Stathead.

October 26, 1997: The Marlins win their first championship thanks to a walk-off single by Édgar Rentería in the bottom of the 11th inning 🏆
It's one of only five Game 7 walk-offs in World Series history!

Top 13, per @Stathead

Career-high 45 is the new mark.

Evan Bouchard now up to 11 points in 4 games. He’s just the third defenseman in NHL history to total 11+ points through the first 4 games of a season, and the first to do it since Bobby Orr in 1975.
• Bobby Orr (11 points) (1975, Boston Bruins)
• Harry Cameron (14 points) (1917, Toronto Arenas)
• Evan Bouchard (11 points) (2026, Edmonton Oilers)

Amazing from Jayson Stark:
Schwarber/Harper were the second pair of LHB to hit back-to-back HR off a LHP in postseason history... after Ruth/Gehrig in 1928!
Per @Stathead Batting Event Finder: Only the 6th time two LHB tagged the same LHP in any postseason inning.
Another day of 4 postseason games, another edition of the postseason Weird & Wild column
Schwarber, Harper, Ruth and Gehrig?
Bohm, Fisk and Big Papi?
How'd the Cubs & White Sox make more history?
Brotherly steals?
2 impossible box-score lines?
And more!
