Watch: Havlicek Banks on It
Date: June 4, 1976
Watch and listen to Brent Musburger commentate on John Havlicek’s bank shot, which gave Boston the lead in double overtime against the Phoenix Suns in Game 5 of the 1976 NBA Finals. Celtics fans stormed the court thinking the game was over, and one unruly fan assaulted referee Reggie Powers. However, there were two seconds left on the clock, which Phoenix used to send the game into a third overtime – it was there Boston won for good, 128-126.
