On December 13, 1983, the Detroit Pistons and Denver Nuggets played a basketball game that still defies belief.
After three overtimes, the Pistons escaped with a 186–184 win, combining for 370 total points — the highest-scoring game in NBA history. Featuring multiple 40- and 50-point performances and a pace that never slowed, the matchup became a perfect snapshot of the run-and-gun NBA era.
In this episode of Sports History Daily, we revisit the night the scoreboard broke, why the record still stands more than 40 years later, and how one of the wildest games ever played helped define — and contrast — an unforgettable era of basketball.
