Hate to split hairs, but when you wrote "a nomadic quest to be liked again" . .. . . did you mean quixotic?

As a Bobcats fan, it appears they're on this list as an opponent more than any other team. Is there any way to do any other kinds of sorting to confirm this belief simply?

Okay what's the difference here?
I put in number of multi-season games where net points is 28 or more and get a list that shows Memphis as the only team to do it more than once.
Then I do the same search for single games and get a few more clubs to have a 28 net points game.
It even shows Portland to do it twice in a few days in the same calendar year

Why aren't the other teams listed as having multiple 28 net points games for multi-season searches?
Aren't "single game" searches grouped into "multi-game" searches?
