Help me find an old sports data.

October 14, 2010 8:25 AM

I need to find a basketball box score. My google-fu has failed me miserably.

I need the quarter-by-quarter score breakdown (which my brain tells me is "the box score") of Game 5 of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals in 1994 between the New York Knicks and the Indiana Pacers.

I can find just about every other ridiculous piece of information about this series.

Go now, and seek.

Wait... I posted too soon. For some weird reason there's all the game data EXCEPT the score by quarter. Weird!

Response by poster: I KNOW. I went there and I was like, "Are you fucking kidding me? IT'S EMPTY?" At which point I gave up and posted to Metafilter.

Maybe it's a conspiracy.

You could watch it again. Maybe they'll show a quarter by quarter score.

Best answer: They did. Here you go. Obviously, it's in the 4th quarter, so do the math for that quarter.

By the way, that was from Part 11.

Best answer: From the June 2, 1994 New York Times: the score was 70-58 in favor of the Knicks after three quarters; the Pacers won 93-86. So the fourth quarter wsa 35-16.

(Can I get one-fourth of a best answer for this?)
