Yesterday I shared the story about the Lakers 7th game thriller over the Chicago Bulls in the 1st round of the 1973 NBA playoffs.
I described the sensational sequence by Chamberlain in which he blocked Norm Van Lier’s shot, grabbed the ball and passed, quarterback style, to the streaking Gail Goodrich for the go ahead score that sealed the game and the series.
At the end of the article I wrote, “Oh, how I wish I could see a video of that block and pass by Wilt Chamberlain that saved the season for the Lakers!”
Well, I’m thrilled to inform you that I found the video!!!
You can see the last 30 seconds of the Lakers - Bulls game 7, played on April 15, 1973, and Wilt’s clutch block, grab and pass to Goodrich that sealed the series for the Lakers in the video below.
The sensational sequence by Wilt Chamberlain is at the very start of the video and you can see the full play and the entire last 30 seconds of the game at the 1:47 time stamp:
