1964–65 Philadelphia 76ers season

The 1964–65 NBA season was the 76ers 16th season in the NBA and 2nd season in City Philadelphia. The team made a major trade to obtain the services of Wilt Chamberlain during the middle of the season. In the playoffs, they took the Boston Celtics to a 7th and decisive game. With the Sixers down 110-109 & only 5 seconds on the clock, Hal Greer inbounded the ball, and John Havlicek made a play for the ages when he stole the inbound pass, and the Celtics went on to win the game, and eventually their 7th consecutive championship.
