we need a new question so i will give a bloody easy clue. This team once scored 184 points in a losing effort!

[CanadianSteve]

Nuggets (vs. Pistons in that high-scoring game, right?)

In conclusion...the only 2 teams with a LOSING record to beat the bulls in 1995/6 were the Nuggets and Raptors

 

[CanadianSteve]
