The first-year expansion Toronto Raptors did this on January 9, 1996 against the Charlotte Hornets. They only attempted three free throws, and missed them all. (The Raptors did hit seven three-pointers, though).

Besides the 2004 Nets game, there has only been one other game in which a team hit exactly one free throw: the New Orleans Jazz against the Houston Rockets on November 19, 1977.

In case anyone is wondering, the record for fewest attempts in a game is two, which has happened twice: Cleveland against Golden State on November 26, 1994, and New Orleans against Phoenix on November 17, 2004.
