New York Knicks - 1970
The Knicks win their first NBA title by defeating Los Angeles, 113-99, in Game 7 of the Finals. New York is led by the inspirational play of injured center Willis Reed, who limped onto the court and scored the game's first two baskets, and guard Walt Frazier, who led the Knicks with 36 points and 19 assists.
