Highest discrepancy between FGA and points scored in 1 game?

example:

player x makes 5 of 5 field goals for 12 total points, which would result in a discrepancy of 7 since 12-5 = 7.

Kobe's 81 points?

Didn't he take 48 shots and scored 81 points?
That's a difference of 81 - 48 = 33.

My guess is 100-63 = 37 would be it and second would be 81-46=35.

A little useless because you have to factor in FTs.

Well, I know Rip Hamilton lead the Pistons, who won the game, in scoring, while not making single FG. If I remember right, he had about 20 points or so (all on FTs)

Yeah it would be hard to imagine a bigger discrepancy than Wilt's though Kobe came quite close.

I think Willie Green once took 36 shots and scored 4 points. Does that count?

Karl Malone: 61 points - 26 FGA = 35 (19 - 23 at the free throw line). In 33 minutes.

edit: it was 61 points, not 60, my bad.

46 points - 16 FGA = 30.

Are we talking about the same game, right? The game Rip was the only person in NBA history who led the team in scoring without hitting a FG?

Michal Jordan +33

Willie Burton +34

Karl Malone +35

All three games a result of very high number of FTM.

Yup, youre right.

I was under the impression that they won the game, for some reason.

I also thought he had about 20pts.

Man, I was pretty off on both.
