Okay, so the other day I was down a rabbit hole trying to find some obscure NBA facts. I stumbled upon this question: what’s the lowest scoring game in NBA history? I mean, we’re used to seeing teams rack up 100+ points, so I was curious about the opposite end of the spectrum.
First, I fired up my trusty search engine and started poking around. I typed in something like “lowest scoring NBA game ever” and boom – a bunch of articles popped up.
It turns out the absolute lowest scoring game happened way back in 1950. I mean, like, really way back. It was the Fort Wayne Pistons versus the Minneapolis Lakers. The final score? Get this: 19-18. The Pistons won, can you believe that? It felt like a score from a different era, which it literally was!
I dug a bit deeper because the introduction of shot clock must change a lot. I refined my search, I think I added something like “lowest score since shot clock”.
And another record was founded.
It was a game between the Boston Celtics and the Milwaukee Hawks on February 27, 1955, with the score just reaching 119 points.

Seriously, the game has changed so much. It’s crazy to think about games with scores that low, but hey, that’s history for you!
