1965 - Five members of the Boston Celtics score 20 or more points in a 129-123 victory over Los Angeles in Game 2 of the NBA Finals. It is the first time in Finals history there are five 20-point scorers on one team, a feat that would be matched twice in the 1987 NBA Finals between the same two teams.

1992 - Detroit’s Dennis Rodman wins his first NBA rebounding title with 1,530 rebounds for an 18.7 RPG average. Those are the highest rebounding marks in the league since the Lakers’ Wilt Chamberlain pulled down 1,572 boards for a 19.2 RPG average during the 1971-72 season. Rodman’s total of 1,530 rebounds represents 42.1% of the Pistons’ total of 3,631 boards, which is the top individual percentage in NBA history. Rodman would go on to lead the NBA in rebounding for seven consecutive seasons, an NBA record.

1992 - Right: San Antonio’s David Robinson becomes only the third player in NBA history, along with Larry Bird (1985-86) and Cliff Hagan (1959-60), to rank among the league’s Top 10 in five different statistical categories. Robinson averages 23.2 PPG (7th); 12.2 RPG (4th); 55.1% field goal percentage (7th); 2.32 SPG (5th); and 4.49 BPG (1st).

1998 - Michael Jordan scores 44 points to lead the Chicago Bulls over the Knicks, 111-109, in the final game of the regular season, securing his record 10th NBA scoring title with a 28.7 PPG average.
