The game opened explosively, with the two teams combining for 75 points in the first quarter alone—setting the tone for an unexpectedly high-scoring affair. The market had called for 227.5, but the opening salvo signaled trouble for the under; by halftime, 135 combined points were already on the board, and the Clippers and Lakers had nowhere to go but over.

The first half was the story.
