What is the record for most points in an NBA game by a team?

Answer 1

== == For a player, it is Wilt Chamberlain with 100 against the New York Knicks in 1962. The most points scored in a game by an NBA team is 186 by the Detroit Pistons in a game against the Denver Nuggets in 1983. The Pistons won 186-184 in three overtimes. The 370 total points is also an NBA record for most points scored by both teams in one game.

Answer 2

186 Detroit Pistons

Both teams combined 370 points scored in the Pistons' 186-184 triple-overtime win over the Denver Nuggets on Dec. 13, 1983

Answer 3

100 points, by Wilt Chamberlain, then of the Philadelphia Warriors, in a regular-season game in 1962. The second-highest point total by an individual in an official NBA game was register by the Los Angeles Lakers' Kobe Bryant, who put up 81 points against the Toronto Raptors in 2006, arguably an even greater achievement than Chamberlain's because Bryant plays at the shooting guard position rather than center, where many 'easy' points can be had over undersized defender on dunks or layups. Both are extraordinary accomplishments.

Answer 4

Wilt Chamberlain holds the record of 100 points flat in an NBA game. Next in line is by Kobe Bryant, with 81 points against the Raptors.

Answer 5

100, Wilt Chamberlain
