#8 1979 Eastern Conference Finals: Washington Bullets defeat the San Antonio Spurs

The Bullets sported some neat threads back in the day

George Gervin played his part dropping 34 points in Game 1 and 42 points in Game 4. It seemed that the Spurs had the series under control behind the play of the Iceman. The Bullets had some reprieve thanks to Elvin Hayes who helped push the series to 7 games.

The Spurs resembled a pretty boy walking through a prison corridor in the last 3:39 of Game 7 as they drew 7 whistles. They ended up losing a heartbreaker of a series 107-105 in Game 7 as the Bullets shot their way for a 10-2 run in the last two minutes to pull away.
