highest scoring game in the nba
No single game proves this point better than the Pistons-Nuggets matchup on December 13, 1983, when the two teams played the highest-scoring game in NBA history. On that night in Denver, the two clubs combined for 370 total points, as the Pistons won the triple-overtime game, 186-184. Six Pistons scored in double-figures: Isiah Thomas (47), John Long (41), Kelly Tripucka (35), Terry Tyler (18), Bill Laimbeer (17), and Vinnie Johnson (12).
