Purvis Short 31 points against the Jazz (12/26/1980)

Great game by the Rainbow Man, 31 points (19 in the 2nd quarter), 14/18 from the field until Dantley cut his lip with an elbow with a few minutes left in the game.

Good one. Purvis had some touch and arch on those shots. I have a few gms w/ him in it from that period, the shots he was making in this vid were standard for him.

Thanks. His games are exceptionally hard to find sadly. I may be able to get my hands on one more in which he scored 31 but it is very uncertain. Do you happen to have the game in which he dropped 40 on the Lakers? I believe it is 12/29/85. I'm dying to see that one.

Great upload, what a beautiful arc he put on his shots.

Thanks.

Yeah such an amazing jumper. I could watch him hit those all day long and never get bored :D

These things I love about this video: 1) Bill King calling the action as the announcer on this game - he's one of the best ever. 2) Purvis - the high arching shot - a real beauty from one of the best jump shooters. 3) Warriors team then incluidng Clifford Ray, John Lucas, Bernard King, Purvis, and unfortunately Joe Barry Carroll. What if? What if W's had kept Robert Parrish and Kevin McHale (who they drafted and traded with Parrish to Celtics for Joe Barry Carroll).
