Game 65: Dallas Mavericks (36-28) vs. Chicago Bulls (31-33)

[Knutsen]

Perhaps. The whole point is we don't know! There was no play-by-play data back then so we can't track when he made or missed a shot. Just box scores. 

Given the unofficial number of 35 keeps being repeated, and 26+9 is 35, I assume that's how the record keepers are getting to that Wilt stat.

We do know now - during yesterday’s broadcast they showed Wilt‘s streak starting at the 17th of January.
