Jones Steals One From Sixers
Date: April 15, 1965
In a series for the ages, the Celtics prevailed over the Philadelphia 76ers in the 1965 Eastern Conference Finals. K.C. Jones controlled Game 7 by dishing out a game-high 10 assists and scoring six points, but most importantly he shut down Hal Greer of the Sixers. Jones held Greer to just 12 points, half of what he averaged in the first six games of the series. Infamous Boston sportswriter Clif Keane wrote, “There were times where if Greer wanted to shoot the ball he would have had to toss in K.C. with it, K.C. was that close to him.”
