At 8:17 p.m. in a game against the Golden State Warriors, Augmon, on a driving layup in the second quarter, scored the NBA's 6,000,000th all-time point. The milestone occurred just more than four years after Rickey Green, then of the Utah Jazz, scored the NBA's 5,000,000th point on a three-pointer January 25, 1988. Augmon finished with a game- and career-high 32 points to lead the Hawks to a 126-125 overtime victory, but only one of his field goals received a permanent place in the NBA record books.
