107 by the Phoenix Suns vs. the Denver Nuggets on November 10, 1990
The good old days of Paul Westhead and Doug Moe produced some of the highest scoring games in NBA history.
The Phoenix Suns scored 107 points in the first half of this run-n-gun game back in 1990. Most teams
don't score 107 points in the entire season any more. The current iteration of the Suns are known for
their running style, but even they only average 109 points per game (before Shaq slowed them to a crawl
that is). With the emphasis on scoring and defense (concepts foreign to the Nuggets at the time), this
record will likely never be challenged, barring the NBA's adoption of the MTV Rock N Jock 10 point basket.
