Wilt Chamberlain weighs heavier scoring role for Lakers
West aims to return to action for Los Angeles as Wilt Chamberlain pledges more offense in the fourth game against the Knicks at Madison Square Garden. The Lakers seek to even the series after New York went up 3-2 with an 87-83 win in which Jerry West played limited minutes due to hamstring discomfort. Chamberlain has focused on defense and rebounding through three games, averaging 7.3 points on 18 shots. Willis Reed lauds Chamberlain's intimidatory presence as the Knicks rely on Reed and bench help from Lucas and Gianelli to counter him.
