Virtually nothing from the backcourt.  Siggy was on his way out, and Jo Jo and Chaney weren't yet Celtics staples.  While John's 41 were impressive (and I bet he scored the bulk of the points in overtime), such unbalanced scoring was foreign to Heinsohn's approach to the game.

While Hank Finkel was (and still is) a frequent object of derision as a lovable stiff, he did average 10 points and 8 rebounds for the 1969-70 team.
