April 19, 1991: Mose Malones Breaks a Record

   

      On April 19, 1991, Atlanta Hawks big man Moses Malone played in his 1,046th game without fouling out in a 126-120 loss to the Pistons in Detroit. The milestone set a new NBA record that had been held by Wilt Chamberlain. The last time Malone fouled out of a game was in 1978 when he was a member of the Houston Rockets. He then went on a streak that has been matched by no other, by playing the final 1,212 games of his career without fouling out.
