Matches it.

The New Orleans Arena was mostly empty by the end of the third quarter, when Denver led 89-50 on its way to matching the most lopsided victory in NBA playoff history. The Minneapolis Lakers beat the St. Louis Hawks 133-75 in 1956.

As mentioned, it tied the record.

But it set the record for largest victory by an NBA road team all-time (playoffs and regular season).

Worst yet, it's probably their last home game of the season and people paid payoff prices to see it. That'll be a lasting impression when NOLA residents ponder buying tickets for next season.
