One of the most memorable games in NBA history was the 1970 NBA Finals Game 7 between the New York Knicks and the Los Angeles Lakers.

The game was played on May 8, 1970, at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The atmosphere was electric, with fans from both teams filling the arena and eager to witness the deciding match of the finals.

The Knicks had a strong start, with Willis Reed, their star player, scoring the first two baskets of the game. However, Reed was injured soon after and had to leave the game. This was a huge blow to the Knicks as Reed had been instrumental in their success that season.

Despite Reed's absence, the Knicks held their own, with their reserves stepping up to the challenge. The Lakers also played well, with Wilt Chamberlain leading the charge. The game was a back-and-forth affair, with both teams trading baskets and neither able to pull away.

In the fourth quarter, the Knicks had a slim lead, but the Lakers were not giving up. With just seconds remaining, Jerry West hit a desperation shot from beyond half court to tie the game and send it into overtime.

In overtime, the Knicks were able to regain the lead, with key baskets from Walt Frazier and Dave DeBusschere. The Lakers had a chance to tie at the end, but their last-second shot missed and the Knicks won the game 113-99. The Knicks had won their first NBA Championship.

The game is remembered not only for its close score and dramatic overtime, but also for Willis Reed's heroic efforts. Despite being injured, Reed managed to return to the game and hit the first two shots for the Knicks, inspiring his teammates and giving them the confidence they needed to win.

Overall, the 1970 NBA Finals Game 7 between the Knicks and the Lakers was a classic match that will go down in history as one of the greatest games ever played.
