Before I started freelancing in the early 1980's, I was working as a staff photographer for Fay Foto Service in Boston. For some reason that I don't recall, I was given a ticket from my boss, Mark Selig, to Game 7 of the 1981 Eastern Conference finals between the Celtics and the 76ers. I was there as a fan, not on assignment, but I did shoot these few pics from the last moments of this incredibly exciting game which the Celtics won 91 -90 in regulation.
Celtics went on to win the finals over the Houston Rockets in six games.
The Conference series was ranked #1 greatest NBA playoff series ever by John Hollinger. You can read why here: https://www.espn.com/nba/playoffs/2012/insider/story/_/page/greatestseries-1-5
