0 to 60: In a 60-point explosion in his hometown of Los Angeles on December 17th, Gilbert Arenas signed his name all over the record books.
Arenas established a new career-high, all-time franchise record, and NBA season-high points scored by an individual player in a game.
Arenas became the first player to score 60 points against the Lakers since Wilt Chamberlain did so in 1966, and the only player other than Chamberlain to ever score 60+ against the Lakers
Arenas’ 16 points in overtime against L.A. set an all-time NBA record for points scored in an overtime session
Arenas’ 60 points marked the second-most points scored in a game in STAPLES Center history, behind only Kobe Bryant's 81 points vs. Toronto last season
Arenas and Kobe Bryant did something only six other pairs of opponents had ever done when they scored 60+ and 45+ respectively in the same game
Arenas’ and Bryant’s feat marked the first time that happened in an NBA game in 44 years, and the first time ever without Wilt Chamberlain.
