1974 NBA Finals: Boston vs Milwaukee Game 6

Homecourt advantage apparently meant very little in this series. The Celtics decided to abandon man-to-man defense and double and triple team Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. This freed Dave Cowens more on the offensive end, as he hit 8 of 13 shots in the first half on his way to 28 points and 14 rebounds. John Havlicek added 16 as the Celtics cruised to an easy 102-87 win and their first title in the "post-Bill Russell era."

FYI, the video description for game 6 and game 7 have been reversed. Thanks for the videos.

Wow pretty classical

If the announcer is right, something screwed up. The center clock still said :03 after Jabbar hit the basket...

Hondo, the GREATEST most complete plater EVER!

My memory was different; and wrong. I would have sworn that the winning sky hook was made right after Havlicek's shot at the end of the first OT (when he grabbed his own rebound. I would have bet the house. Amazing how one's memory is simply wrong.

This is one of the greatest games ever played! I remember watching it live on TV (in Milwaukee).

Announcer Johnny Most said, "...and the Red Head (Cowens) and Paul Silas combined to close the spread."

Perhaps you heard, "...and the red-headed Paul Silas combined to close the spread."
