Hosted by Sarah Kustok, NBA Flashback is the podcast that takes you back to the greatest moments in NBA history through exclusive archival audio from the NBA vault, along with new interviews from the voices of the players and coaches who were in the building

In this episode of NBA Flashback we go back to Feb. 3, 1987 and relive the night Dominique Wilkins scored 54 points and the Atlanta Hawks beat the defending NBA champion Boston Celtics in overtime at the Omni in Atlanta.

We talk with Dominique and his long-time coach with the Hawks, Mike Fratello, about the intense rivalry with the Celtics, defending Larry Bird and Kevin McHale, how this might be the best game that Nique has ever played, and what made the 80’s Hawks teams so special.
