This is going from the NBA's guide for 1999-2000;

Most points 1 half;

59 - Wilt Chamberlain: Philadelphia vs. New York at Hershey, Pa. March 2, 1962
(2nd half)
53 - David Thompson, Denver at Detroit, April 9, 1978 (1st half) and George
Gervin, San Antonio at New Orleans, April 9, 1978 (1st half)
47 - David Robinson, San Antonio at L.A. Clippers, April 24, 1994 (2nd half)
[note: he scored 73 points to beat out Shaq for the scoring title].

Pierce did score 13 points in overtime, no?

Most Points overtime period
