On this day ...
APRIL 9, 1978 - Denver's David Thompson, battling San Antonio's George Gervin for the NBA season scoring title, scored 73 points against the Detroit Pistons. It was the third-highest output ever in an NBA game. Gervin, not to be outdone, later scored 63 against the New Orleans Jazz. It was just enough to give Gervin the scoring crown, 27.22 points per game to Thompson's 27.15, the tightest one-two finish ever.
