The field goal in overtime was merely a formality. Clock runs out. Fans run onto Boston Garden floor. Fan punches referee Richie Powers. Powers staggers to feet, clears floor, puts one second back on clock.
Suns get ball at halfcourt.
Garfield Heard hits 22-foot turnaround. Baltimore's only score is engineered by ailing idol Johnny Unitas. By game's end Unitas's crewcut has been replaced in the national consciousness by Broadway Joe's long locks. The Red Sox fan, alas, also remembers Cincinnati's 4-3 victory the next day to win the Series. Wilt Chamberlain's career can be encapsulated in this game.
