This NBA Finals game between the Bill Walton, Maurice Lucas, Lionel Hollins and Bob Gross led Portland Trail Blazers and the Dr. Julius Erving, Doug Collins, Henry Bibby, Caldwell Jones and George McGinnis led Philadelphia 76ers would take place on May 22, 1977.

You have Dr J, Doug Collins and George McGinnis on your team and Henry Bibby is taking the most shots.
That "isolated preview" was pretty pointless, huh? Let's take up a quarter of the screen to show a guy back-pedaling into position whom you're gonna see in 2 seconds anyway. If they just used an angle from above the baseline as they come down court you'd see every player better, w/o the weird double image.
37.05 Walton blocks the shot, gets control and makes the outlet, all in half a second! That's what you call fundamentally sound. Such a shame we didn't get to see a full career of it…
57.05, some kinda history here, cuz that's gotta be the worst call ever made by an NBA ref. That dive looked like one of those dashcam vids where a guy jumps on the hood of a stopped car to make a fake insurance claim. Embarrassing! And then the ref has the gall to do the stupid play-acting of the "foul" he just hallucinated…..
1.34.07 Wow, sweet D from Mix, who knew? He looked like a safety deflecting a certain TD!
1hr 44 Walton, rebound into the outlet in one motion, like a training video.
Dr. J's dunk to make it 2-0 just might be fastest two points to start an NBA game ever!
