“Unforgettable Overtimes: Discover the NBA’s Most Thrilling High-Scoring Showdowns!”
T-1. Phoenix Suns 173, Denver Nuggets 143, Nov. 10, 1990
It’s hardly a surprise to see the 1990-91 Nuggets on this list again. Under Paul Westhead, they adopted the run-and-gun offense that led to huge success for the coach at Loyola Marymount.
It didn’t quite work out in the pros and the Nuggets became affectionately known as the “Enver Nuggets” because they didn’t have a “D.” They allowed a league-high 130.8 points per game in 1990-91.
