Unbelievable Playmaking: The NBA Game Where Assists Shattered All Records
29 â Kevin Porter (Feb. 24, 1978)
Porter had three other 20-assist games during a 1977-78 season in which he was traded from the Detroit Pistons to the Nets on Nov. 7, 1977. Apparently realizing their mistake, the Pistons then re-acquired Porter from the Nets just 10 months later. During his historic 29-assist effort in the Nets’ 126-112 win over the Houston Rockets. John Williamson (39 points) and Bernard King (35) were the primary targets as Porter surpassed, at that time, Bob Cousy and Guy Rodgers on the all-time list. Then on March 9, 1979, Porter set a Pistons franchise record with 25 dimes.
