“From Underdogs to Unbelievable: The Most Stunning NBA Playoff Blowouts Ever”
Led by future Hall of Famers Slater Martin, George Mikan, Clyde Lovellette and Vern Mikkelsen, the Lakers outscored the Hawks by at least 10 points in each quarter and scored 36 in each of the last three of them. All 10 of their players scored in double digits, while Pettit shot just 4 of 15 from the floor for St. Louis.
Despite the huge victory, the Lakers did go on to lose the series with a one-point loss at home in Game 3. The Hawks wouldn’t go much further either, falling to the Fort Wayne Pistons in five games in the West finals.
