In case you didn't know, the Chicago Packers are actually the franchise known today as the Washington Wizards.

Confused? Well, let's clear it up for you. In the first season of the existence of the Wizards franchise, it was located in Chicago and the team was called the Packers.

It was rebranded to the Chicago Zephyrs the following season, before a relocation to the Baltimore region caused another change of name - to the Baltimore Bullets.

10 years after this move, the franchise was relocated once again to the Washington DC area and was called as the Capital Bullets for the length of the 1973-74 season.

The Bullets were renamed as the Washington Bullets from 1974 till 1977 when they were rebranded most recently as the Wizards.

Now that we're done with one history lesson, here's another for you: The 73 points hung by Wilt Chamberlain are the highest by any player against the franchise in any of their iterations.

On this occasion, he was provided some able assistance by Paul Arizin, who had 26 points of his own. The Warriors cantered to an 18-point win by outscoring their opponents in every single quarter.
