In 2012, the Jacksonville Giants set the high point mark with a 211-84 win over the Columbus Riverballers. They also scored 209 in another 2012 game...
Paul Westhead is, probably, frothing at the mouth over these numbers...
Three weeks ago, they broke that record with a 222-100 win over the Georgia Roadrunners.
“It really created a bond, everybody working together. It’s not just the points, it’s the teamwork that allowed us to break those records,” said Jacksonville coach Kevin Waters after the 222-point performance.
The 211-point performance was the fifth time in four seasons the Giants have scored 200 points or more- twice in 2011 beating the Georgia Gwizzlies 206-102 and the Florida Makos 204-85.
But tonight in Jacksonville, they broke that record in a 233-73 win over the Gainesville Heat...
Just to give you an idea as to how prolific the Giants are, here are some highlights of a game from a month ago against the Southwest Warriors...

The Giants have lost only once this ABA season...

Really? Jacksonville hoops team scores 211 in a game
((ht: jacksonville.com))
Forgive us for missing this one...but we didn't know such a team even existed (sorry Jacksonville friends).
Apparently, this past weekend (Feb.4th to be exact). The Jacksonville Giants broke their own ABA scoring record by dropping 211 points in a game.
Yes, that's right, the Giants beat the dreaded Columbus Riverballers 211-84. That includes a half-time score of 108-26.
Stunned? Yeah...so are we.
The team plays in the ABA. No, not the ABA of the 1970's, though we guess the comparison could be made.
This ABA has somewhere close to 100 teams and believe it or not, the Giants actually drew some 2,500 fans to their game.
We can't vouch for the quality of play, though we suspect it varies..wildly. The budgets, miniscule, but the players take it seriously.
We don't know...yet if there is an ABA Championship or anything like that, but we certainly will look into it.
In the meantime, if you like minor league hoops, check out the leagues website ABAlive.com. Chances are there is a team near you.
For proof, Fox 30, WAWS gives us some highlights (must have been a ton of them):
