The lowest scoring season in NBA history

The lowest scoring season in NBA history was the 2014-2015 season. This was due to a combination of factors, including a decrease in the number of possessions per game, a decrease in the number of shots attempted per game, and an increase in the number of fouls called per game.

The 2014-2015 season was also the first season in which the league implemented a shot clock violation, which resulted in fewer shot attempts and lower scores.

While the 2014-2015 season was the lowest scoring season in NBA history it is worth noting that scoring has been on the decline since the 2010-2011 season.

The lowest scoring team in NBA history

In the 1971-1972 season, the Cleveland Cavaliers set the record for the lowest scoring team in NBA history They averaged just 68.9 points per game nearly 10 points lower than the previous record-holder. The Cavaliers also set records for fewest wins in a season (15) and lowest winning percentage (.195). It was an experience that team captain Jim Chones described as “a living hell.”

The Cavaliers’ struggles were due in part to the fact that they didn’t have a single player averaging more than 14 points per game Their leading scorer that season was shooting guard Dick Snyder, who averaged just 13.7 points per game The team’s lack of offensive firepower was compounded by their struggles on defense; they allowed an average of 112.4 points per game which was also a league worst.

Despite their historical ineptitude, the Cavaliers managed to avoid setting another dubious record; they finished the season with at least one win, avoiding becoming the first and only team in NBA history to finish a season 0-82.

The lowest scoring player in NBA history

No matter how bad a player is, they usually manage to rack up a few points during an NBA game But there have been a few unfortunate souls who have gone scoreless in an entire game.
