Scoring over 100 points every game is a truly remarkable feat. There are teams that have done it for a couple of games and then faltered, and then there are teams that have done it for a consistent period of time.
The Houston Rockets scored over 100 points for 61 consecutive games and their streak came to an end during the 2016-17 season. The New Orleans Pelicans this season currently have an active streak of 40 games in which they have scored over a century of points.
Considering how tight the defenses have been in the past and how the referees don't give you calls, it speaks volumes of how good the team has been on the offensive side of the floor to score with such regularity.
That being said, we look at the five teams with the most consecutive games of 100 plus points in NBA history during the regular season.
#5 San Antonio Spurs - 80 games
The streak of 80 games where the San Antonio Spurs scored over 100 points lasted from February 1983 to February 1984. Coached by Morris McHone, the Spurs missed out on the playoffs during the 1983-84 season. They finished 10th in the Western Conference with a 37-45 record.
The streak started against the Seatle SuperSonics as the Spurs crashed to a 103-115 loss on the road during the 1982-83 season. The franchise finished that season with an appearance in the Western Conference Finals where they lost to the Los Angeles Lakers in six games.
During the next season, the streak officially came to an end against the Lakers when they succumbed to 98-110 loss. It ended up being a disappointing season for the Spurs.
#4 Cincinnati Royals - 81 games
The Cincinnati Royals now known as the Sacramento Kings had a terrible season and the only bright spot about the 1960-61 season was the debut of Oscar Robertson. The guard averaged a 30 point triple-double that year and was one of the best players in the league already. The franchise finished with a 33-46 record and failed to make the postseason that year.
The streak began against the St. Louis Hawks where they won the game in overtime with a scoreline of 129-128. The streak was active till the time they played the Syracuse Nationals during the next season. The Royals lost that game with a 99-117 scoreline and it ultimately ended their streak.
The season was, however, an improvement for the franchise. They finished with a 43-37 record and only lost in the semifinals of the Western Conference against the Detroit Pistons.
#3 Milwaukee Bucks - 83 games
The latest team on this list is the Milwaukee Bucks. Arguably the best team in the NBA, the Bucks are on top of the Eastern Conference with a 53-9 record and have already secured qualification for the postseason.
The streak started in February of 2019 against the Minnesota Timberwolves in a 140-128 win as Giannis Antetokounmpo had 27 points and 10 rebounds. They finished the season by losing to the Toronto Raptors in the Eastern Conference Finals despite leading 2-0. The streak followed into the next season and only came to an end against the Charlotte Hornets despite winning that fixture 93-85.
The Bucks are strong favorites to win the championship this season with the likes of the Greek Freak, Khris Middleton, etc.
#2 San Antonio Spurs - 129 games
Featuring once again on this list is the San Antonio Spurs. But this time it is the team from 1978-1980 period. Led by coach Doug Moe, the Spurs had a very good season as they finished second in the Eastern Conference with a 48-34 record and only lost in the Conference finals to the Washington Bullets.
The streak began in a 103-107 loss to the Denver Nuggets in December 1978 on the road. 129 straight games where they would score over 100 points would go on until the next season where they played the Cleveland Cavaliers and fell to a 98-100 loss. The season ended for the Spurs with a first-round exit against the Houston Rockets after finishing fifth in the Eastern Conference.
#1 Denver Nuggets - 136 games
Led by Donnie Walsh, the Denver Nuggets had a horrendous 1980-81 season. They finished eighth in the Western Conference with a 37-45 record and failed to qualify for the playoffs that term. The streak kicked off in a 116-125 loss against the San Diego Clippers.
The scoring run was kept alive till the day they played the Washington Bullets. The Nuggets lost to the Bullets 90-98 and also ended their streak of 136 games where they had managed to score over 100 points.
However, they did manage to have a great season though. The franchise finished with a 45-37 record and made it to the Western Conference Semifinals where they would eventually lose to the San Antonio Spurs in five games. They beat the Phoneix Suns in three games en route to that in the first round.
