What is the most points scored in an NBA game?

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 record for the most points scored in a single NBA game is an impressive 100 points, achieved by the legendary Wilt Chamberlain. He pulled off this remarkable achievement on March 2, 1962, while playing for the Philadelphia Warriors. This record stands as one of the most iconic and unbroken milestones in the history of basketball.

Did you know that the record for the most points scored in a single NBA game is a whopping 100? Wilt Chamberlain set this incredible milestone back in 1962, and it’s still considered one of the most legendary achievements in basketball history.
