The thing is, there is very little record of it. It wasn’t televised, and the game was played in Hershey, PA in front of a very small crowd.

So most people probably only heard of it well after it actually happened.

Crowd size was approximately 4k, with a lot of the crowd there to see the Eagles scrimmage the Colts in basketball prior to the 76ers/Knicks game. Leading scorer in the prelim game was a guy named Christian Adolph Jurgensen III.

I recall reading that the game was never finished. The crowd stormed the court at the 100th point, not at the buzzer. However, I'm now reading on Wikipedia that the original radio broadcast was recovered, and the final 46 seconds of the game were actually played.
