I was thinking today about how Bird watched McHale break the single game Celtics scoring record, then beat it a week later because s*ck it McHale, and I wondered if I could guess the single game scoring leaders for the original eight franchises. Feel free to play along at home!

Celtics
Knicks
76ers
Warriors
Kings
Pistons
Lakers
Hawks

my guesses

Celtics - Bird
Knicks - Reed
76ers - Wilt
Warriors - Wilt
Kings - Tiny
Pistons - Isiah
Lakers - Wilt
Hawks - Pettit

Missed on the Knicks, Kings and Pistons

My guesses were:

Celtics-Bird
Knicks - Bernard King (I knew he held it, forgot Melo broke the record two years ago)
Sixers - Wilt (duh)
Warriors - Wilt (double-duh)
Kings - Oscar (couldn't think of any prolific Kings/Royals scorers so I went with the Big O)
Pistons - Isiah (took a stab at it, didn't think this would be right)
Lakers - Kobe
Hawks - 'Nique

Oscar was second for the Kings, he's a good guess.
