Is that a record for most points scored in a game by 1 team
Can't Stop, Won't Stop
It got ugly fast for the Sonics, who gave up 168 points to the Nuggets, the third-most in regulation in NBA history.
Suns (vs. Nuggets)Nov. 1990 173
Celtics (vs. Lakers)Feb. 1959 173
76ers (vs. Knicks)March 1962 169
Nuggets (vs. Sonics)March 2008 168
Wouldn't that make it 4th most?
NO! two teams tie for the 1st most points. 168 is still the 3rd most numerically.
