1958 NBA Playoffs

1958 NBA Playoffs

The 1958 NBA Playoffs was the postseason tournament of the National Basketball Association's 1957-1958 season. The tournament concluded with the Western Conference champion St. Louis Hawks defeating the Eastern Conference champion Boston Celtics, four games to two in the NBA Finals.

It was the second consecutive year the Celtics and Hawks met in the NBA Finals; they would end up meeting four years out of five when it was all said and done, with the Celtics winning three series and the Hawks one.

This was the first (and as of 2008, only) championship in Hawks franchise history. St. Louis made it to the NBA Finals four times in the five years between 1957 and 1961, but since moving to Atlanta, Georgia in 1968 they have had considerably less success in the playoffs.
