Guy54435 On March 2, 1962, Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points for the Philadelphia Warriors in a game against the New York Knicks, a single-game NBA record that still stands. Philadelphia won the game, 169-147.
There was no shot clock back then was there? Which makes that more impressive.
I never saw basketball without a shot clock. Did teams really pass the ball around or dribble it to hold on to the ball for minutes and minutes? And the defense did nothing about it? But how do you have a 169-147 score when there's no shot clock? Maybe long possessions only happened at the end of games, otherwise it was the same is today? The losing team didn't foul to prevent this?
