NBA Scorigami Chronicles: Mapping Basketball's Unique Scoring Milestones Through History
Exploring the phenomenon of NBA scorigami - the pursuit of never-before-seen final scores - through data-driven analysis of basketball's evolving scoring patterns and historical game archives.
The Evolution of Scoring Uniqueness
Modern NBA's accelerated pace (102.1 possessions/game in 2024-25 season) has enabled 14 new scorigami events this season alone, including the Oklahoma City Thunder's 146-132 victory over San Antonio Spurs on March 2, 2025. This continues a trend where 38% of all NBA scorigamis have occurred since 2010.
