The Big Score
Twenty-two years ago, on Dec. 13, 1983, the Detroit Pistons beat the Denver Nuggets 186-184 in triple overtime. It was, and remains, the highest-scoring game in NBA history.
Before they were the Bad Boys, Isiah and the Pistons were a high-scoring machine.
186-184. 370 total points.
(I remember seeing the game on TV, and I still don't believe it. Can you imagine? Both teams
attempted a total of four three-pointers.)
