March 2, 1963, lives in the history of NBA as a day Wilt chamberlain dropped 100 points. On March 2, 2025, another statistical nugget joined the big dipper.
Coincidence between Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs he ended up 146-1323 159. Unique final score in the history of NBA and 14 this season. Or in other words “scorigami”.
The recent NBA scoring increase has opened the point sums that have never been seen in the nearly 80 -year history of the league. Hakob Halkyan wanted to make sure that these factuals were not unnoticed.
Halkyan, inspired by the NFL Scorigami account, launched the NBA version in September. The 70,000 plus score in the NBA history is stored on the web that has developed, Scorigaminba.com. It also includes the sums of the America basketball association, the league that existed from 1946 to 1949, before it merged with the National Basketball League to become the NBA.
Account x, Nba_scorigamiPosts of the score a day, along with how many times the result has happened and last occurred. The Boston Celtics, Portland Trail Blazers and Utah jazz It is one of the franchises that follow the account.
Halkyan, 25, said it was easier to achieve in the NBA compared to NFL (which has 1,091). This led him to wonder if the NBA version would be popular. More than 35,000 followers later are clear fans of unpredictable results of the score that are not picky.
“It’s still quite entertaining because you could see … different periods have different types of scores,” said Halkyan Espn. “So now at the time we are, the score becomes so high where you just see a score that has never happened before. I think it’s still quite fun, and I think that’s what people like.”
The origin of the scorigami dates back to mid -2010. As part of the series called “Chart Party”, Jon Bois of SB Nation’s Secret Base, introduced this date in September 2014 and initially wrote it “scoragami”.
“Scoragami is a word I have just invented and refers to the act and art of producing a final score in a football match that has never happened before,” Bois he wrote.
Bois who did not answer the request for an interview, said Espn Mina Kimes Va Function 2021 Sportscenter that after writing a post, people slowly point to an unusual score on social media.
Two years after the written work, it brought it to the video form, analysis The NFL score graph and points to the most interesting. Dave Mattingly then created a Twitter page in 2017 Equipped with a robot to track all scores.
“I took literally a weekend, built an algorithm, learned Twitter behind the scenes (from) what I would have to do to publish tweets,” he said Kimes. “And I just gave it, and then I thought no one would ever see it.”
Eight years later, the account boasts nearly 500,000 followers and will set up a corner of the Internet during the NFL season to take rooting unique scores. And accompanying site – Developed Andrew Merriman- includes a graph of each score in the history of NFL. Account and website x are separate from each other and bois.
Merriman and Mattingly conducted several interviews and Mattingly helped Merriman with the pieces of his code. Merriman said he had never spoken to Bois, but that he wouldn’t do the site without Bois’s original video.
“It’s really great to get a new unique score in any sport,” Merriman Espn said. “So the NBA version is as interesting as anything else.”
Halikyan knew about NFL scorigami and always wondered why the NBA version did not exist. Although the other accounts tried to put together, Halikyan thought it would be a person to do it right.
This process began about three years ago, gathering and storing data about every game in the history of the NBA. However, he said he was not sufficiently qualified to create a website and publish it.
This led to the scorigami hit the shelf until the next warning.
“I left something for several years,” Chalikyan said. “But this summer before the start of the season I was glad,” Hey, now I’m pretty good with this type of technology, so I could just return and take this data and create a website, “but then I realized I lost all the data.”
Halikyan had to start from scratch.
He wrote the code and ordered it to visit NBA.com using the website – programming interface of applications, “a set of rules or protocols that allows software applications to communicate with each other when changing data, functions and functionality,” IBM – to collect data.
The team went through the team annually and pulled out the score, which was then stored in a private database. Halikyan called it a “quite automated” process that lasted three days.
Once he had data, he switched to building a site.
The X account soon followed, although another problem arose – someone defeated Halikyan.
“Actually, I made an account and then I saw someone else had created an account like two, three weeks before,” he said. “And they had about 18,000 followers and I like to say,” What? “
Ethan Peterson had a similar vision. Inspired by the NFL account, he also decided to create the NBA version. Originally he hoped to start manually before finding out how to automate the account, which said he had no need for experience.
Peterson published on September 16, 2024 that the NBA account was launched. Ten days later, Halikyan reached out and explained that he had the same idea and the project to show.
“I got DM from Hakoba and said he also created one, and wanted to cooperate,” Peterson ESPN said. “And I was glad,” Hey, yeah, that sounds great. With my announcement that I was going to start this account would be amazing if we could get your robot you created to help publish a post on this account. “
When Halikyan approached him, Peterson said he thought, “Well, I can help him demonstrate this code he created because this account already has so many followers.”
Welcome to NBA scorigami!
This account will be devoted to monitoring new combinations of scoring in the history of NBA, regular season and play -off.

Halkyan has what Peterson said is the “back end of everything” – coding that is necessary for database and automated broadcasting. X has its own API, which Chalikyan uses, so within five minutes after the end of the game, the shoes automatically publish the result.
“The database I have … (Bot) is going to do that. It checks everything as the score has happened, and based on the fact that it tweets, whether it happened earlier, how many times it happened,” he said.
There are errors with this type of process, for example, when the shoe has published the score of Rising Stars during the weekend of this season. “That ended me, but we got it repaired,” Chalikyan said.
For this reason, Halkyan and Peterson check the score and repair them manually if necessary. Bot, databases and web are fully synchronized and create a system that updates daily.
At first glance, the NBA scorigami website can be a stunning data collection. On the page, the scattered dots dominated by colors from bright red to ice blue. At the top left, users can filter and explore how scoring has changed.
Although the identification of the phenomenon according to Era is difficult, Halikyan has noticed a trend in terms of the number of scorigamis in the season.
“It’s a bit strange that there is this middle point where the scoring was also high,” he said. “I see that sometimes we get (a) scorigami and many higher scores, once or twice before 1980, a really high -rate offense or something. But it seems that many scorigamis is definitely because crimes become so good and much more.”
PACE is a keyword. It is an estimate of assets in 48 minutes, according to Basketball reference. Simply put, other assets played means more scores. Some of the highest unique scores can be directly attributed to tempo.
Ten of the highest diameters of the pace for the season appeared before the 1986-87-Sezon 1973-74 will take the best place to 107.8. The nearest season in this century is the 2019-20 campaign for 100.3, good enough for 16.
Only one of the five NBA Scorigamis, which included a team that scored at least 170 points, appeared in this century-176-175 Sacramento Kings victory over Clippers In 2023 Indiana Pacers approached this character 170 and beat Washington Wizards 162-109 last month for other scorigami.
While the trends of tempo do not correlate directly with a new unique score, they give teams a greater opportunity to space in which they can happens. On March 30, two separate games ended in a new final score, for the first time that occurred from 14 April 2024.

Scorigamis simply comes in all forms and numbers.
The highest in the history of the league is the match with three times in 1983 between Detroit Pistons and Denver Nuggets It ended 186-184. The lowest took place in 1950, when Fort Wayne Zollner Pistons defeated Minneapolis Lakers 19-18.
Scorigamis adds another layer to what could initially be interpreted as a secular final score, and at first glance it could be difficult to identify. However, Halkyan’s work provided a way to find such a score – new wrinkles in the history of NBA.
Just check on March 2, 1963.
