The Knicks actually had three players score over 30 points in this game. No one will remember that Willie Nauls, Richie Guerin and Cleveland Buckner scored 31,39,33 respectively.
The famous sportscaster Bill Campbell (HOF) announcer broadcasted the game on radio. There was no television covering this game. Next question.

True story about Wilt's 100 point game and Kobe's 81 point game:
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/basketball/nba/01/27/kobe.wilt.tickets/
Marc Stern , then an 18-year-old sophomore at Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pa, bought two tickets to see the then-Philadelphia Warriors play the New York Knicks in nearby Hershey.
But when one of his professors scheduled a test for the next day, Stern gave the tickets away -- and thus failed to see Wilt Chamberlain score 100 points.
Today, Stern is a Lakers season ticket-holder, and had tickets to see a January Lakers game against the Raptors. But Stern opted to attend a birthday party instead -- and thus failed to see Kobe's 81-point outburst.

On March 2, 1963 Dwayne Polee was born. He attended Pepperdine University and was drafted by the Los Angeles Clippers in the 3rd round (7th pick) of the 1986 NBA draft. He played in one game and scored 2 points before being cut.
Oh, wait, you said 1962. Sorry. In that case it was that 100 point thing with Wilt.
