The Suns scored 173 points in total, compared to the Nuggets&#8217; 143.<\/p>\n<p>The Suns had five players with 20 or more points, including Cedric Ceballos, who came off the bench to score 32 points. The fact that Cedric&#8217;s 32, as previously indicated, was the highest mark attained by a player in Phoenix just serves to increase the amazement at this accomplishment. The Denver Nuggets lost by 30 points despite Orlando Woolridge&#8217;s 40 points.<\/p>\n<p>In a time when 3-pointers were made at a very low rate, the Suns converted just two attempts into 0 made threes.They drained 67 shots from within the arc on 104 attempts to reach their 173 mark.<\/p>\n<p>For the record, the Detroit <a href=\"https:\/\/yebscore.com\/nba\/nba-team-detail\/DET\/home\">Pistons<\/a> scored 186 points against the Denver Nuggets on December 3, 1983, which is ironic given that 173 points isn&#8217;t the most total a team has ever scored in a game.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">LeBron\u2019s last 13: <\/p>\n<p>37 PTS\/8 REB\/7 AST<br \/>25 PTS\/7 REB\/10 AST<br \/>43 PTS\/11 REB \/6 AST<br \/>47 PTS\/10 REB\/9 AST<br \/>27 PTS\/9 REB\/6 AST<br \/>28 PTS\/7 REB\/5 AST<br \/>38 PTS\/6 REB\/5 AST<br \/>34 PTS\/2 REB\/8 AST<br \/>31 PTS\/6 REB\/11 AST<br \/>33 PTS \/7 REB\/9 AST<br \/>30 PTS\/9 REB\/4 AST<br \/>33 PTS\/9 REB\/9 AST<br \/>35 PTS\/5 REB\/5 AST <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/UKv3EvGtkl\">pic.twitter.com\/UKv3EvGtkl<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash;
