The Lakers' 150-145 win over the Indiana Pacers was notable because the avalanche of points came in regulation, not overtime. What are other memorable shootouts?
The number isn't attained often. A team scoring 150 points in an NBA game is an eye-opener and an outlier, prompting a visit to the record book. As kids these days say about anything remotely stressful: 'It's a lot.' The Lakers defeated the Indiana Pacers, 150-145, Sunday at Crypto.com Arena. Notably, all that scoring came in a regulation 48 minutes. No overtime. That separates the feat from many other NBA games where a team has hit the 150-point mark. Let's start at the top.
' The second-most points in an NBA game came last season when the Clippers defeated the Sacramento Kings, 176-175, in double overtime. It marked Russell Westbrook's Clippers debut and he contributed 17 points and 14 assists. The teams averaged 6.05 points a minute, fewer than the Lakers and Nuggets on Sunday. The highest point total in a game that lasted only the regulation 48 minutes came in 1990 when the Phoenix Suns beat the visiting Nuggets, 173-143.
