I’m curious about the highest-scoring performance in a single game in National Basketball Association history. Who holds the record, and how many points were scored? Was it a recent achievement or something from earlier in the league’s history?

The highest scoring player in an NBA game had 100 points for the Philadelphia Warriors on March 2, 1962. Chamberlain's record is one of history's most renowned sports accomplishments. Though several have had some really nice scoring sprees over the years, not a single player has gotten close to 100 in an NBA game.
