Kareem Hooks Celtics In 2OT; Game 6, 1974 NBA Finals:
“After tying this classic in regulation and at the end of the first overtime, John Havlicek hit a rainbow over Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to give Boston a 101-100 lead with seven seconds left in the second OT. From there, Oscar Robertson inbounded the ball to Kareem. The league MVP dribbled down the right and hit a difficult sky hook over Henry Finkel, in the game to replace the fouled-out Dave Cowens, to give Milwaukee a 102-101 win and send the series to a seventh game. The Celtics would rally to win Game 7 on the road, with Cowens playing all but one minute of the clincher, scoring 28 points and pulling down 14 rebounds.” – NBA.com
