Points scored by the Cats doubled and points put up by the opponent dropped.
Perhaps this past week's partial (97%) lunar eclipse was foretelling.
FWIW, here was the eclipse as captured here in Alaska.
And for those who slept through it ..........
Unbeknownst to many, we just lived through an historic event this Thursday evening and early early Friday morning. We experienced the longest partial (almost full) lunar eclipse in 600 years, with the last longest one being in the 1440s. This past week's lunar eclipse extended for 6 hours.
Of note the eclipse was accompanied by a Blood Moon as its surface appeared red and the moon also qualified as a Beaver Moon as so named by Indian Tribes for a November Full Moon.
The first three positioning photos below were taken with my iPhone but the rest were taken with my tripod mounted Nikon equipped with a telephoto lens that ranged up to 300 mm. The almost full lunar eclipse here where I am located was reached at midnight. With temperatures ranging from minus 2 to minus 4 degrees below zero Fahrenheit the primary challenge was trying to keep my ungloved fingers warm while taking the photos.
