The Brooklyn Nets are not only one of the most dominant teams in the NBA today, but they are putting up historic offensive numbers. The last team to average 120+ points per game over the course of a season was the 1984-85 Denver Nuggets led by 8x All-Star and Hall-of-Fame forward Alex English.
Through 35 games this year, the Brooklyn Nets are averaging 120.7 points and doing so without their best player in Kevin Durant. The 11x All-Star has been out since February 13th with a hamstring injury and has missed the Nets last 7 games. Over the span, Brooklyn is 6-1 and averaging nearly 119.9 points per game.
With Kevin Durant, James Harden and Kyrie Irving all healthy, this team could not only score well over 120 points per game, but they could challenge the 1981-82 Denver Nuggets who hold the record for Highest Average Points Per Game in a Season with 126.48 points per game.
