I'm skeptical on 2012 as well, although there was an OT game so maybe that bumped it up a bit.

Did scoring return to old levels towards the end?
86-87 (Perth won)That's actually pretty high, considering Perth hit one three all night and there were four points in the final five minutes or something.

Years ago
The 2013 GF series equalled the highest PPG on record for a GF series (201, also scored in 1980).The series where NZ had 29 at half time and went on to win? That can't possibly be right.

Years ago
Finals are usually more defensively focussed, and with the scheduling players were tired and standards slipped.
Perth and NZ were rated the best defensive teams in the league, so it was always going to trend that way.
Had it been an Adelaide v Hawks GF, things might have been different.
Besides, I feel that in the 40 minute era, 100 point games should be the exception.

Years ago
Referees went back to calling it the way of a few years ago and letting the players get away with heaps so they couldn't be blamed for making wrong decisions.
I think the NBL was much better when Hollywood Mal Cooper and his team were the refs boss, get them back and hopefully the Redding can stay the same all season long
