The 1955 NBA World Championship Series was the championship round of the 1954–55 NBA season. The best-of-seven series was won by the Syracuse Nationals, who defeated the Fort Wayne Pistons in the final game when Syracuse's George King made a free throw with 12 seconds left to put the Nationals up 92–91. King then stole the ball from Fort Wayne's Andy Phillip with three seconds remaining to clinch the victory for Syracuse. The arena was booked prior to the team making the finals and was thus not available, and the Fort Wayne home games were played in Indianapolis. Won the 1955 NBA Finals on April 10, 1955. Wiki link
