On this date in 1962, Wilt Chamberlain scored an NBA-record 100 points in a 169-147 Philadelphia Warriors win over the Knicks in Hershey, PA. He went 36-of-63 from the field and 28-of-32 from the line, which remain NBA records for most field goals and free throws made in a game. pic.twitter.com/D0THFnvOVe – 7:09 PM

Rivers says watching Doncic and Irving deferring the final shot in their second game together reminded him of the Dream Team’s first few games. Interesting analogy. Adds with a chuckle that he hopes transition takes a little longer. pic.twitter.com/YeTZMqJgJl – 6:10 PM

Some random research has shown that, going into Thursday night’s schedule, the Eastern Conference owns a 190-168 record against the West. That includes Philadelphia’s gaudy 17-6 record against the West. The Mavericks enter Thursday’s game 8-14 against East opponents. – 5:19 PM

LAL (30-33) schedule before LeBron will be “reevaluated”: MIN, GSW, MEM, TOR, NYK, @ NOP, @ HOU, DAL, ORL, PHX.
Only HOU + ORL have a worse record than LAL.
Lakers are done. Pelicans get their 1st-round pick. – 2:13 PM
