The Philadelphia Warriors entered this game after winning by 9 against the Chicago Packers and improved to 45-29. Wilt dropped 61 points in that game and grabbed 28 boards. A night after that, Wilt did something no one has ever done.

He exploded for 100 points on a 36-63 shooting, with a field-goal percentage of 57.1. Wilt also had 25 rebounds and 2 assists. This is one of the most prestigious records in basketball and is highly unlikely to be broken. Chamberlain played all 48-minutes of the game and committed two personal fouls. He attempted a ridiculous 32 free-throws and sank 28 of those.
