Wilt Chamberlain's Philadelphia Warriors beat the New York Knicks 169-147 in Chamberlain's 100 point game on March 2, 1962. Wilt scored 41 points in the first half, and then got hot. With almost eight minutes left he broke his own record of 78 points, and his teammates obliged the fans' chants of "Give it to Wilt" by feeding the big man on every possession. In a wild finish that included the Knicks fouling other Warriors to deny Wilt the ball, and Warriors fouling Knicks to get more possessions, Wilt scored his hundredth point on a slam dunk with 46 seconds left. Wilt finished the season averaging more than 50 points, 25 rebounds and 48 minutes per game. The game was played in Hershey Pennsylvania, where the Warriors occasionally played in order to draw additional fans. Only 4,000 fans attended the game.
