Wilt Chamberlain achieved his legendary 100-point performance on March 2, 1962, during a game between the Philadelphia Warriors and the New York Knicks played in Hershey, Pennsylvania. He accomplished this historic feat through relentless scoring across all four quarters, converting 36 of his 63 field goal attempts and successfully making an astonishing 28 out of 32 free throws, which was particularly remarkable given his historically mediocre free-throw shooting percentage. The opposing Knicks defense began intentionally fouling other Warriors players to keep the ball away from him, prompting Philadelphia players to foul back to regain possession so Chamberlain could continue setting the unprecedented scoring record.
