Throwback: The Perfect Quarter -- Trail Blazers Put Up 49 on Spurs in the First

On November 25, 1990, the Portland Trail Blazers blew past the San Antonio Spurs, racing ahead to a 49-18 lead in the first quarter. The Blazers had 18 assists as a team in the quarter -- still a franchise record. “It was like a clinic on how to play the game. I’ve never seen a better quarter," head coach Buck Williams remarked after the game. The Blazers would go on to win 117-103.

Buck Williams was a BEAST...noooooobody wanted to mess with Buck!!! The very 1st time I EVER watched a basketball game, it was this team right here...and obsession ensued, till this day! RipCity for Life

[@jamesdillard3583]

I miss those days. I wish they would have won a championship.

[@jdfraed123]

Yeah we got so close. Lost to some of the greatest teams ever assembled though. No shame in that...

[@YowzaBowzaWowza]

I remember listening to this game on the radio. Fantastic! RIP City!

[@juliant123]

this was part of the true golden age of basketball even though they didn't jack up tons of threes like today they could score

[@pdxmtngoat]

Best Blazers roster ever. Fun times.

[@youtuber3328]

the 90 91 and 92 blazers weren't as elite as their 77 team

[@tiagoalves7760]

Man... How I miss that strong and fearless Blazers!

[@nr4dd]

Possibly the greatest NBA team ever assembled. They would have had two titles too if we didn't live in thi$ world. RIP Duck, Jerome, Uncle Cliffy and... Snapper Jones ❤️

[@jdfraed123]

Gotta update this comment and get the Schonz on there..

[@jermaineonealnumber7]

2:05 take 'em home Jerome, what a show those Blazers when they got their running game on.

[@tuhannguyen5573]

Missed the 90's years players now had gone. Always in memories will never stop. Keep going currently players next 2019-2020 RIP-CITY. No matter what Go Trailblazers 🏀🏆

[@jasonpdsi]

We had another one of these a few days ago against LA. 45-13 in the second quarter. It was a disaster every other quarter, but that second quarter was top notch.

[@genelin888]

Forgot how this team created incredible synergy on court.

[@allopez3166]

I remember watching the game at home. I was around 11yrs old. I miss that squad.

[@ajp50381]

Same. I was 9 or 10

[@jakelang806]

We all do

[@hortons1967]

I was at this game.. we arrived late at the end of 1 lol... we almost blew it and pulled it off late!

[@jakelang806]

Typical :)

[@mikeynicholas3234]

I remember that what a quarter in a zone!

[@mrandquist2653]

That was a special Blazers team that year. We started the season 19-1, went 63-19 and lost to the LA Lakers in the WCF. I am convinced that had we gone to the Finals, we would have won it all in 1991.

[@purplemonkeydishwasher4241]

No one was beating the Bulls that year.

[@LeetheOG89b]

🔥

[@PhotographybyTimWMoore]

Team basketball of the past

[@PakRT48]

At that time there were 2 faces of the Blazers: "Scary Blazers" and "Dumb Blazers". This was Scary Blazers. If only they played a 1st Q like this in any of the 3 home games in the '90 Finals against Detroit just 5 months prior, the Finals outcome could've been different. Perhaps Pistons would've still won, but 4-2 or even 4-3 instead of sweeping the entire 3 games played in Portland.

[@LeetheOG89b]

RIPCITY!!!!!!!!!!

[@johnnash5118]

I would take this balanced TEAM over the current MEam.

[@jamesbowman8138]

Rip Kevin 🦆

[@jakelang806]

Eddie Doucett or Pete Peranica?

[@oldcremona]

Misty water-colored mem-o-ries....of the way...we were...😪

[@youtuber3328]

clyde drexler wasn't as elite as patrick ewing who was officially past his elite years in the 98 semi finals vs the pacers

[@youtuber3328]

buck williams was on the 97 and 98 knicks who didn't equal the 90 91 + 92 blazers but why were those teams not equal

[@kenchamberlain2552]

there wasn't the gorilla defense back then.
