On December 30, 1990, in a game against the Denver Nuggets, Orlando Magic point guard Scott Skiles set an NBA record with 30 assists, surpassing Kevin Porter’s record of 29 set in 1978.
The Magic would go on to beat the Nuggets 155-116 with Skiles adding 22 points to go along with his record-breaking assists.
This is one of the most bullshit records that will never be broken. Playing a gimmick team that happens to be the highest pace, worst defensive team in league history will definitely give you the opportunity to rack up assists.
It’s not bullshit, most records are set against the worst teams in the league.
I won’t pretend to know the full history of this game or these teams but some of these passes are absolute dimes and he made some really nice reads
