Memphis (AP) – The Memphis Grizzlies have made NBA history. The US state of Tennessee won against the Oklahoma City Thunder Thursday evening (local time) with a timing of 152:79 (72:36).
The 73-point success is synonymous with the highest victory in the 75-year history of the North American Professional League. The previous record was held by the Cleveland Cavaliers, who recorded a breakthrough of 68 points (148:80) against the Miami Heat in December 1991.
Nine of the twelve Memphis players scored double-digit scores, with Jaren Jackson Jr. becoming the top scorer with 27 points.
Phoenix Suns set a new club record. With a 114:103 (69:51) home win against the Detroit Pistons, the Arizona team scored its 18th consecutive win—the longest streak in franchise history. The Sons had to do without their injured top scorer Devin Booker. The Sons caught it as a collective: Seven players scored double-digit scores.
The Toronto Raptors stopped the Milwaukee Bucks: the Canadian team won with 97:93 (48:40), with the Bucks losing a game for the first time after eight consecutive successes. At the Bucks, MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo failed. The Chicago Bulls confirmed their strong form with a 119:115 (69:51) away win. Demar DeRozan and Zack LaVine scored Chicago’s final 14 points to lead the Bulls to their 15th win of the season.
