This Day In NBA History: 1958 - Bob Pettit pours in 50 points and the St. Louis Hawks beat the Boston Celtics, 110-109, to win the NBA Finals four games to two. Pettit set a Finals scoring record that would stand until Elgin Baylor broke it in 1962. This championship remains the only one claimed by the Hawks franchise. keepinitrealsports.tumblr.com keepinitrealsports.wordpress.com
