Nuggets Legendary Moments: 154 points scored against the San Antonio Spurs

On the final day of the 1983-84 regular season, the Denver Nuggets enjoyed an explosive offensive performance against the San Antonio Spurs. In a regulation loss in San Antonio, Denver mustered 154 points, which included two quarters in which the Nuggets scored at least 40 points.

Eight players scored in double-figures for Denver, led by the team’s all-time leading scorer Alex English, who dropped 30 points on 15-of-22 shooting from the field. As a team, Denver shot 55.5 percent from the field and made 29 of 32 from the charity stripe.

In shocking contrast to today’s NBA, the Nuggets attempted just six 3-pointers on the night, connecting on three of them.
