- March 2, 1962, was a good night for
- offense, a bad night for defense, and a
- historic night for Wilt Chamberlain. The
- "Big Dipper" poured in 100 points that
- night as his Philadelphia Warriors beat
- the New York Knicks, 169-147. Wilt hit
- 36 of 63 field goals. Usually a horren-
- dous free-throw shooter, he even
- made 28 of 32 free throws! He scored
- his 100th point on a slam dunk in the
- final minute of play. No one else has
- ever come close to WiltΓÇÖs amazing
- record. (Here's a little-known fact: The
- game was played in Hershey, Penn-
- sylvania!)
