The game between Barcelona and Baskonia will go down in the history books as the highest-scoring game in competition history with 258 points, while Barcelona, with 134, became the team with the most points in a single EuroLeague game in history.
The game of the season took place in the EuroLeague on Friday at Palau Blaugrana, as the hosts FC Barcelona (12-5) claimed an incredible 134-124 win in triple overtime against Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz (6-11).
This game went down in history as the highest-scoring game in competition history. With a combined 258 points scored, it broke the previous record of 256 points set on January 6, 2024, when Real Madrid defeated Anadolu Efes Istanbul 130-126 after four overtimes.
In addition, no team has ever scored more points in a EuroLeague game than Barcelona's 134, breaking the record of 130 set by Real Madrid nearly two years ago.
This clash, which was the 6,368th game in competition history, marks the first time a EuroLeague contest finished after triple overtime, and just the second time that a game went past two overtimes.
Barcelona hero Kevin Punter finished with a career-high 43 points, which is the fourth most in the modern EuroLeague era, becoming just the ninth man to score more than 40 points in a single game.
Punter’s heroics included 23 points after the end of the fourth quarter, including a driving layup with 0.1 seconds left in the second overtime session to tie the game at 122-122 and eventually allow history to be rewritten.
Among other marks, Punter also broke Barcelona's club record with 12 two-point shots made, while the Blaugrana broke a club record for total team PIR (152).
Baskonia, meanwhile, also broke its club scoring record with 124 points, which is the fifth-best mark all-time, only below Barcelona (134) in this game, Real (130) and Efes (126) from their quadruple-overtime contest, and AS Monaco, which scored 125 points earlier in December.
