Today’s Date in NBA History

(Boulder-CO) Today’s date is January 2nd, and on this day:

‘87- The Indiana Pacers beat the Los Angeles Clippers 116-106 to give Coach Jack Ramsay his 800th NBA victory, at the time one of only two coaches (along with Red Auerbach) to reach that plateau.

‘00- 19,600 fans watched the Miami Heat defeat the Orlando Magic, 111-103 in the first game at the Heat's new American Airlines Arena.

Enjoy your day!
