WHAT IS THE GREATEST GAME IN NBA HISTORY?

A match that even the All-Star Game pales in comparison to

The National Basketball Association has always been synonymous with attraction and high performance. The US and Canadian leagues feature some of the most impressive athletes in the world, and we're talking about all sports here. Basketball in North America is made to entertain the viewer. One of the main reasons for this is the high performance in the matches. Attack has always taken precedence over defense. In European basketball, it's impressive when a team crosses the 100-point mark. In the NBA, it's normal and even considered a failure when you don't. Yes, a major factor in this is the longer duration of the matches from 40 to 48 minutes, but also the philosophy of the game itself. A concept that in 1983 led to an unthinkable record to beat. An achievement that could easily bring the game the award for the most interesting matchup in the history of the NBA.

On December 13, 1983, Denver and Detroit faced off in the regular season in Colorado. Both teams are contenders for a playoff spot in their conference, the Nuggets in the West and the Pistons in the East. This puts them in a situation where every win counts. But who would have guessed that their upcoming clash would go down in history and to this day will not come out of it. The clash became the highest scoring in history with a total of 370 points. Detroit wins after 3 overtimes and the stunning score of 186:184.

The match between the Nuggets and the Pistons broke the record set a year and a half earlier by the San Antonio Spurs and the Milwaukee Bucks with the brutal difference of 33 points. And considering that the match between the teams from Texas and Wisconsin is still the second in history. But it can't compare to the game between Denver and Detroit. A match in which the winner and loser make the two highest scoring performances for a team in a game. The two teams shot a total of 142 times and handed out 93 assists. Four players break the 40-point mark. All records that will be very difficult to improve.
