What's the NBA record for blocks in a game?

The New York Knicks have one of the most dominant paint presences in the league in Mitchell Robinson, but as a team, average the lowest blocks per game in the NBA. Robinson's averaging 1.0 block per game, which is a drop-off from the 1.8 blocks he averaged in the past two seasons. He's still off to his hottest start yet.

Players like Anthony Davis, Victor Wembanyama, and Rudy Gobert have racked up blocked shots this season. Wembanyama's absurd wingspan allows him to block shots he has no business getting to. He's in his rookie season, and he'll continue to grow more dominant from all areas of the floor.

Looking back through history, there have been plenty of superior big men down low, including a player who still holds the record for most blocks in a single game.
