April 9th, 1990: Phoenix Suns Make NBA Record 61 Free Throws

Winning April 9th, 2016 against the New Orleans Pelicans dropped the Suns into the 4th spot in the NBA lottery with 2 games to play. Even when the Suns win it is a disappointment this year.

There is enough negativity around this season, and I’ll try not to pile on today. Instead, I am going to highlight one of the more unique records held by the Phoenix Suns: the most free throws made in a single game in NBA history, 61 against the Utah Jazz on April 9th, 1990.

The Suns would end up beating the Jazz 3 games to 2 in the first round of the playoffs that season.
