 In the 1962 NBA Playoffs , the Warriors met the Boston Celtics again in the Eastern Division Finals , a team which Bob Cousy and Bill Russell called the greatest Celtics team of all time . Each team won their home games , so the series was split at three after six games . In a closely contested Game 7 , Chamberlain tied the game at 107 with 16 seconds to go , but Celtics shooting guard Sam Jones hit a clutch shot with two seconds left to win the series for Boston . In later years , Chamberlain was criticized for averaging 50 points , but not winning a title . In his defense , Warriors coach Frank McGuire said " Wilt has been simply super @-@ human " , and pointed out that the Warriors lacked a consistent second scorer , a playmaker , and a second big man to take pressure off Chamberlain .
