The 1964-65 NBA season was the 76ers 16th season in the NBA and 2nd season in 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 seventh and decisive game. With the Sixers down 110-109, and 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.
