JOHN HAVLICEK AND CHET WALKER

Because of the high level of competition, you never know what will happen in an NBA game, where so many factors can change the outcome of a presumed victory. On April 5, 1965, the Boston Celtics needed only to inbound the ball and wait until the final five seconds to beat the Philadelphia 76ers 110-109 in the Eastern Conference Finals. Bill Russell, on the other hand, would cause a turnover after passing a ball that hit a wire, giving the 76ers one last chance to win it.
