The Nuggets scored how many points on Friday night?

The Denver Nuggets trounced the Portland Trail Blazers, dropping a franchise-record points explosion and basically daring the scoreboard to keep up. 157 points!  From the jump, it was run-after-run, bucket-after-bucket—like somebody hit fast-forward on the offense and forgot where the off switch was. You know it’s one of those nights when the crowd starts reacting to every possession like, “Wait… they scored again?”

Denver was cooking from everywhere: threes were falling, the paint was wide open, and the pace stayed sky-high—because why slow down when you’re rewriting the record book? The record for most points in a game had been sitting there for years, and the Nuggets didn’t just break it… they stomped through it. Portland tried to hang around, but when a team is scoring like that, it stops being about “can you come back” and starts being about “can you survive the quarter.”

And the best part? This wasn’t just empty points—it was a statement. When the Nuggets are sharing the ball, pushing the tempo, and playing loose, they look like a team nobody wants to see when the games get real. Denver fans got a little history, a whole lot of highlights, and one of those nights you’ll be talking about at work the next day like, “I swear they scored 20 times while I went to grab a drink.”
