Unbelievable NBA Playoff Feats That Shattered Records in a Single Season – Who Dominated the Hardwood Like Never Before?
The 76ers finished the regular season 65-17, with a top-five offense and defense and the best point differential in the league. Moses Malone won the MVP, averaging 24.5 points and 15.3 rebounds. Julius Erving was his co-star with 21.4 points per game.
Philadelphia opened the playoffs with a sweep of the New York Knicks, but it wasn’t an easy sweep. Bernard King kept the Knicks in Games 3 and 4 before the 76ers were able to come out with two- and three-point victories, respectively.
The 76ers’ lone defeat came in the next round against the Bucks, who had swept Larry Bird and the Boston Celtics in the conference semifinals. Milwaukee battled for a Game 4 win over Philadelphia after losing the first three contests. Marques Johnson led a balanced Bucks effort with 19 points. But Andrew Toney’s 30-point effort helped close out the Bucks in Game 5.
