Message: [QUOTE="Travelman6, post: 3147041, member: 7597"] "put an end to only the second four-overtime game in NBA playoff history." "Start with Denver's [URL='http://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/3112335/nikola-jokic']Nikola Jokic[/URL], who played 64 minutes, 58 seconds, the fourth-most minutes in a playoff game." "There has never been a five-overtime NBA playoff game. " The above quotes are from the following article. [URL='http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/26667411/blazers-prevail-historic-4ot-battle-attrition']Blazers prevail in historic 4OT 'battle of attrition'[/URL] But I don't get it, wouldn't that be the most minutes ever played in an nba playoff game if there was no 5 OT games ever played as the third quote states and only the second 4oT game as the first quote says?? If he played all but 3 minutes in a 4OT game how can that only be 4th most minutes played or at the very least second most? edit: I see now, poor job by espn a little bit. They should have included a graphic, a small table with the players from the 1953 game along with the next few players, maybe a top 10 most minutes played in an nba playoff game or something. According to this, that easily puts him at #1, three minutes above the second place amount for MP in a playoff game.

That is the regular season record, nuts. Just missed 4 minutes.
