There was a time when two wings averaging 25 points per game for the same team was considered extraordinary — revolutionary, even. The Denver Nuggets of the 1980s, led by coach Doug Moe and then Paul Westhead, played with pace and whipped the ball around the floor, breaking records behind the scoring prowess of Kiki VanDeWeghe and Alex English. They shirked defense for offense, breaking the 100-point mark in every game of the 1981-82 season. In 1982, they lost 186-184 to the Detroit Pistons in the highest-scoring game ever. They still hold the record for most points per game averaged in a season at 126.
