Phoenix set the NBA record with 107 points in the first half against Denver on Nov. 10, 1990. The Warriors — with current Nets star Kevin Durant on their roster — scored 92 against Chicago on Oct. 29. 2018.
The Nets led 46-17 after one quarter, a 29-point difference that was the biggest in any quarter in the league this season.
