In addition to Chamberlain's regular-season accomplishments, he scored forty two factors within the All-Star Game. Chamberlain's 4,029 regular-season points made him the one player to score more than 4,000 points. Auerbach's intention was for the Celtics to throw the ball quickly enough to prevent Chamberlain, a prolific shot-blocker, from returning to his personal basket in time, and Boston might score an easy fastbreak basket. The Warriors entered the 1960 NBA playoffs and beat the Syracuse Nationals, establishing a sport against the Eastern Division-champion Celtics. In his third sport, Chamberlain recorded forty one factors and a then-profession-high 40 rebounds in a 124-113 win over the visiting Syracuse Nationals. Chamberlain's 1960-61 NBA season began with a 42-point and 31-rebound performance in a 133-123 road win towards the Syracuse Nationals. Chamberlain failed to convert his play into crew success, this time bowing out towards the Nationals in a three-sport sweep. In line with Cherry, Celtics coach Auerbach ordered his ahead Tom Heinsohn to commit personal fouls on Chamberlain; each time the Warriors took foul pictures, Heinsohn grabbed and shoved Chamberlain to prevent him from running again quickly.
