FINALS Game 1 Introduction to Phoenix Suns vs the legendary Boston Celtics.

1976: Chiefly remembered for the fifth game, a classic that was often labelled afterwards as the "greatest NBA game ever". With the series tied 2-2 against the Phoenix Suns, Boston took a huge lead at Boston Garden but could not hold it. Eventually, after numerous last second heroics by both teams, Boston won in three overtimes, 128-126. Boston then won Game 6 and took their 13th championship.

You mean 76?

[DrBryant24]

You are absolutely right. Thanks for the catch

So much drama in that contest.

Even though the Boston Celtics won the 1976 NBA finals, that Phoenix Suns team refused to quit and made the Celtics earn that championship.

More than 30 years later, game 5 of this series is still the greatest in playoff history.

@TRJ22487 part of it also was because the networks were too cheap to buy videotape, so they'd wipe footage and reused tape a lot.

[FrsBigeasy]

This was 1 of the best NBA Finals ever.

Yes, Westphal was traded for Scott (after Boston traded Scott to Phoenix for Paul Silas in 1972!).

[MLinden22]

I forgot that the Celtics traded Paul Westphal to the Suns. Was Charlie Scott involved in that deal?
