Phoenix Suns: 10 Highest Scoring Games In Suns’ History

The two highest scoring games in Phoenix Suns’ history occurred within 40 days of each other, and by the same player.

The legend that hold the top spots is Tom Chambers, with both performances coming in the second half of the 1989-90 season.

The first time Tom Chambers scored over 50, he didn’t just break the Suns’ scoring record, he shattered it. Prior to his 56 point game in 1990, the Suns’ record was still Westphal’s 49 in 1980.

The Warriors were a horrible defensive team that season, giving up nearly 120 points per game. They also ran the fastest pace in the NBA. The Suns 131-113 win is not a surprising score.

Chambers was 19 of 29 from the field, 2 for 2 from three, and 16 of 19 from the free throw line, along with eight rebounds and two assists.

On the season, the Suns’ power forward would average 27.2 points per game, good for fourth in the NBA.

A little over a month later, Chambers outdid himself.

Chambers earned his 60 the hard way: without making a single three-point shot. He went 22 of 32 from the field, and 16 of 18 from the free throw line.

The Suns would win the game 121-95, with Chambers staying in the game well after the outcome was decided. One motivation for Chambers was that the SuperSonics were Chamber’s team prior to the Suns.

So there is the highest scoring game in Suns’ history: a 60 point revenge game by Tom Chambers.

If picking the greatest scoring game in Suns’ history, I would take Amar’e Stoudemire’s 49 point game in 2008. 17-21 from the field, 15-15 from the free throw line, 11 rebounds, six assists, and five steals (to make up for four turnovers).
