Bill Walton went back in time tonight by recalling this unusual instance of a replayed game:
NBA.com: This Date in History-November Quote:
November 8, 1978
The Philadelphia 76ers and the New Jersey Nets began a game where the final 17:50 of the contest was replayed on March 23, 1979, due to a protest being upheld. Harvey Catchings and Ralph Simpson played for the 76ers and Eric Money and Al Skinner played for the Nets when the game began, but were traded to the opposing teams by the time the game was resumed. It's the only time in the history of professional sports that any player played for both teams in the same game.

Those are some Old Skool names there, before my time, but probably recalling fond memories for HQ and Dre. I think Money and Simpson both played for the Pistons around that time as well.
