The longest NBA game occurred on January 6, 1951 between the Olympians and Royals. Indianapolis beat Rochester 75-73 after 6 overtimes.[22]

(6 overtimes and you win with 75 points?)

As far as I know the longest NBL game was in 1994 - Perth Vs Brisbane . Quadruple Overtime.

The shot clock wasn't invented at the time.
