Alright, folks, gather ’round! Today, I’m diving into something that had me scratching my head for a bit: figuring out the highest number of assists ever recorded in a single NBA game. I’m not gonna lie, I thought I knew a thing or two about basketball, but this sent me down a fun little rabbit hole.
My Quest Begins
First things first, I fired up my trusty search engine. I mean, where else do you start, right? I typed in something like “most assists NBA game” – real basic stuff. Boom! The results popped up, and the name Scott Skiles jumped out at me.
Digging Deeper
Okay, so now I had a name. But I’m a details guy, I wanted the full story. So, I started clicking through some articles and forum posts. I learned that Skiles dished out a whopping 30 assists back in 1990. I also found some game stats.
My “Aha!” Moment
So this isn’t just some random * man Scott Skiles played a killer game for the Orlando Magic against the Denver Nuggets on December 30, 1990.
- 30 assists: That’s the magic number. Thirty! It’s insane to think about one player setting up that many baskets in a single game.
- Orlando Magic vs. Denver Nuggets: That’s the matchup. I even looked up some old highlights – grainy, but you could still see Skiles’ court vision was unreal.
- December 30, 1990: The date it all went down. I always like knowing the “when” of these records. It adds a bit of context.
Putting It All Together
After all that searching and reading, I finally felt like I had a solid grasp on the record. It wasn’t just a number; it was a story. And I must say, I love the data related story.
So, there you have it – my little journey into NBA assist history. Hope you enjoyed the ride!
