This Day in NBA History: February 19th

1982
The Atlanta Hawks take four overtimes to defeat the Seattle Supersonics, 127-122. It was the fourth longest game in NBA history.

1995
While fasting for his observance of Ramadan, Houston's Hakeem Olajuwon reaches the 10,000 career rebound mark. His nine rebounds and 27 points, however, weren't enough as the Rockets suffered a 122-117 loss to the New York Knicks.

1996
Charles Barkley records his 10,000th career rebound, becoming the 10th player in league history with 20,000 points and 10,000 boards.
