On this day: ’65 championship won; Sharman, Conley join the team

On this day, the Boston Celtics won their seventh NBA championship and sixth in a row; they also traded for guard Bill Sharman and drafted forward Gene Conley on this date.

It is also the anniversary of two wins since the season of the Celtics’ last championship, in 2007-08.

The first was an 87-74 win over the Milwaukee Bucks to close out the regular season that saw point guard Rajon Rondo log 15 assists — and 0 points.

Paul Pierce sprained a toe, but still managed to score 12 points, and guard Avery Bradley added 14 points as well.
