How it unfolded

The wider picture
The NBA's dated team box-score archive establishes the official fixture record, while two independent historical indexes corroborate the pairing, date and final score. This report does not infer player statistics, lineups, attendance or standings consequences, and the original game date remains separate from the later iintroo archive-publication timestamp.
