Original Title: TIL The lowest-scoring NBA game in history occurred in 1950 with a 19-18 victory for the Fort Wayne Pistons over the Minneapolis Lakers. Whenever the Pistons led, they held or passed the ball around as long as possible, eliciting boos from their own fans. The shot clock was introduced 4 years later.
