The Denver Nuggets established themselves as a high-scoring, free-flowing offense that played at a fast pace throughout the 1980s as Doug Moe led the team as head coach.
Although the 1988-89 season neared the end of that era of the Nuggets (Moe would depart in 1990 and Denver missed the playoffs the next three seasons following a nine-year streak of reaching the postseason), the Nuggets produced one of the most memorable offensive performances in franchise history on this day in 1989.
In a 139-121 victory over the Golden State Warriors, Denver racked up a franchise-record 52 assists.
