Unbelievable Scoring Feats: The Jaw-Dropping NBA Game That Shattered All Records
Along the way, Wilt finished with an NBA’s highest-scoring game (at the time) of 78 points, breaking the mark of 71 points established by the Lakers’ Elgin Baylor 13 months earlier.
By the way, Baylor scored 63 and teammate Jerry West had 32 in that triple-overtime game, while none of Wilt’s teammates scored as many as 20. Chamberlain also pulled down a ridiculous 43 rebounds for good measure.
Then on Jan. 13 against the Chicago Packers, a first-year expansion team that would eventually answer to the name of Washington Wizards, Wilt poured in 73 points, breaking Baylor’s NBA record for a regulation-length game.
