Just after the game ended, while all the Pelicans fans, coaches, and players were still reeling, ESPN's broadcast director put up the records from the game.
Record 3: Michael was blocked by Wang Yi 10 times in a single game, making him the player blocked by the same opponent more times in a game than anyone else.
Record 4: Michael Joe was blocked 13 times in a single game, setting the record for the most blocks suffered by one player in a game.
Record 5: The Kings scored 65 points in a single quarter, the most by any team in NBA history.
Record 6: The Pelicans failed to score a single point in a quarter, becoming the first team in NBA history to do so—and setting the record for the fewest points scored in a quarter.
Record 7: The Kings came back to win after trailing by 40 points, making them the team to overcome the largest deficit in history. The Pelicans, meanwhile, became the team to squander the biggest lead ever. (The two records were combined into one, which at least saved the Pelicans a little face.)
Record 8: The Pelicans went 0-for-23 in a quarter, setting the record for the lowest field-goal percentage in a quarter in NBA history.
Record 9: The Pelicans went 0-for-23 from the free-throw line in a quarter, setting the record for the lowest free-throw percentage in a quarter in NBA history.
Add those to the two records set earlier, and the Kings had helped the Pelicans set a total of nine records in a single game.
And every single one of them was a disgrace for the Pelicans.
They'd led by 40 points and still lost, becoming the team that had blown the biggest lead in history. It was the ultimate humiliation.
