10 Highest Scoring NBA Games Ever

#4(tied) New Jersey Nets 157 - 161 Phoenix Suns, December 7 2006

Phoenix Suns v Sacramento Kings

The Suns were coming off 2 relatively successful campaigns in the 2006-07 season, having made 2 consecutive Western Conference Finals appearances. It was up to the roster to take the next, logical step, and they started off strong this season around as well.

While Mike D'Antoni was still loath to play Amar'e for big minutes after his comeback from an injury sustained the previous season, the rest of the Suns stepped up to the plate as scorers. In this game, Nash quit being primarily a playmaker, and racked up a game-high 42 points over the course of 4 quarters and the 2 overtime periods played. Shawn Marion had 33, Raja Bell had 24 and Amar'e had 23 points, while sixth man Leandro Barbosa scored 16 of his own.

Jason Kidd had a triple-double of 38 points, 14 rebounds and 14 assists, while Richard Jefferson and Vince Carter piled on the scoring with 25 and 31 points respectively.
