On December 20, 1967, the Seattle SuperSonics welcomed the Philadelphia '76ers to the Washington State Coliseum for only their 13th home game at WSC and their 35th franchise game ever. It would be the 5th time the two teams faced each other. On this particular day the SuperSonics were thinking four would have been enough.
The two teams played evenly matched during the first half with the visitors heading into the locker room at the half with a 65-59 lead. The home team never had a chance in the second half. The '76ers led by Wilt Chamberlain scored 42 points in the third quarter and a record 53 points in the fourth quarter./ Thats right 95 points in the second half!! The Philadelphia squad left with a 160-122 win.
On December 20, 2005 the Pittsburgh Xplosion of the American Basketball Association did their impression of the '76ers on this date when the routed the Ohio Aviators by a score of 163-116.
Tomorrow we will look at one incredible college basketball game.
