In the 1955 NBA, the title went to the Syracuse Nationals, their first and only title. A very worked, very suffered title, that was only decided in the seventh game, against the Fort Wayne Pistons. Such was the tension, that after seven games everything was decided in the last play (91-92). A head or tails that opted for the Nationals
