Havlicek's famous steal came against which team?

  • Los Angeles Lakers

  • New York Knicks

  • Detroit Pistons

Answer

The Philadelphia 76ers were the unfortunate recipients of John Havlicek's legendary steal in the 1965 Eastern Conference Finals. With five seconds remaining in Game 7 and the Boston Celtics trailing by one point, Havlicek intercepted Hal Greer's pass intended for Chet Walker and drove the length of the court for a layup that secured the Celtics' victory and a spot in the NBA Finals.
