(Boulder-CO) Nugg Doctor was in the Pepsi Center as the Nuggets were victorious over the Raptors 117-109. Real quick notes from tonight's game included Carmelo Anthony scoring 34 points, which also means he has scored 30 or more points in his sixth straight game. This is worth mention because such feat ties the Denver Nuggets All-Time 30+ point, consecutive game record set by Alex English back in the eighties. The other golden contribution of the game came from Reggie Evans who logged the only double-double for the Nuggets by scoring ten points and snagging twelve boards. There will be much more on tonight's game, including a full game recap and a 360:The Pitch http://www.hoopsaddict.com/ radio show with Ryan McNeill, dropping tomorrow morning. Until then Nuggets Nation the prescription is sleep. Saturday, November 18, 2006

I remember Larry Jones of the Denver Rockets having a long streak of thirty plus games in the early days of the ABA. Did your record book cover the ABA years of the Denver franchise?
Domino,
Unfortunately my extensive NBA resources do not have a definitive answer for that. I am merely going off what was announced by Chris Marlowe in the previous games and what was being flashed on the Pepsi Center jumbotron. I will be investigating the ABA record as it deserves such attention.

I thought I heard during the broadcast last night that Spencer Haywood averaged over 30 ppg for the Denver Rockets. If true that would be amazing.
livid,
In 1969, Spencer Haywood averaged an even 30.0 points per game. He also was hitting the glass to the tune of 19.5 boards a night. God bless the ABA. Amazing!
Alex English missed averaging 30 points a game by a hair in 1985-86 by averaging 29.8 points a game.
