Unbelievable NBA Blowouts That Shattered Records and Stunned Fans Worldwide
Miami had only two players reach double figures (Steve Smith and Kevin Edwards), and Glen Rice was held to just nine points. Cleveland, which shot 57.3% as a team, eventually beat the Boston Celtics in the East semifinals before falling to the Bulls in the conference finals.
65 Points – Indiana Pacers 124, Portland Trail Blazers 59 (Feb. 27, 1998)
Most of these blowouts featured an offensive outburst by one team. But this one is different. Portland never scored more than 16 points in a single quarter. The Pacers put up 124, but five-time All-Star and Hall of Famer Reggie Miller only had 11 points (though he tied two other Pacers for the highest plus-minus). Go figure. Mark Jackson was the team’s leading scorer with 18 points, as Indiana had eight players reach double figures.
