Clip of the Day

It was a nail biting Game 7 of the 1965 Eastern Conference Finals between the Boston Celtics and the Philadelphia 76ers. With the Celtics leading 110-109 and only 5 seconds remaining in the game, the Sixers’ Hal Greer was set to inbound the ball from underneath the basket. Greer’s pass was targeted for teammate Chet Walker, but it never made it there. The Celtics’ John Havlicek, with his back to Greer, anticipated the pass, spun around at just the right time and tipped the ball over to teammate Sam Jones to secure the series win for the Celtics. Celtic fans fondly remember Johnny Most’s famous call “Havlicek steals the ball!” describing one of the great and clutch defensive plays of all-time.
