Unbelievable NBA Playoff Blowouts That Left Fans Speechless—You Won’t Believe How It Happened!
In the Western Division semifinals, they were up against the rising St. Louis Hawks, who were led by the 1956 All-Star Game MVP in Bob Pettit. The Hawks won the first game and would advance with one more victory in the best-of-three series. The Lakers, however, were ready to punch back when the teams met at the Minneapolis Auditorium for Game 2.
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.
