The league's previous scorigami was 124-83, Portland Trail Blazers over Phoenix Suns on October 22, 2026, 1 day earlier. This is NBA's 2nd new final score of the 2026 season, and the grid now holds 18.3 percent of every realistic final score.
Its closest neighbors show how tight the score space had become: 129-81 had happened 2 times and 128-82 had still never happened. It sits in the busy heart of the grid, proof that even an ordinary-looking score can go a league's whole history without happening.
