Atlanta ran away from the Celtics in the first period behind the shooting of Pete Maravich, who had 29 points, and the Hawks held the lead until nearly the end of the third period, when White went on his scoring binge...

No one is more awed by Pistol Pete's sharpshooting than his father, Press Maravich, the L.S.U. coach.
