Semifinals
Doubleheader at the Palestra
Dougherty 46, Judge 43
  This game had the craziest finish in CL playoff history. With the score tied, 41-41, Dougherty’s Dave Black started a slashing move to the basket and it appeared he was grabbed by Judge’s Chuck Hiller. A highly controversial intentional foul was called at 0:09. Black hit two free throws and Cuttino ‘‘Cat’’ Mobley hit two more after the Cardinals inbounded the ball. At 0:02, Dougherty’s Jerry Ricca was fouled after rebounding a missed three by Judge’s John McGovern. But Dougherty’s fans, thinking the game was over, stormed onto the court and the Cards were assessed a technical foul. Ricca made one free throw and then Judge’s Danny Oldfield made two. On Judge’s inbound play, Oldfield took a pass from Chris Cervellero and hit the back part of the rim on a 40-footer. Both teams’ fans then hurled trash at each other — Dougherty’s from the floor, Judge’s from the stands.
Roman 52, O’Hara 50
  Seventh man Bill Shank scored five points in the final 0:23 — a one-and-one, a layup on an outlet pass from 6-9 Marc Jackson (15 points, six blocks) and a free throw at 0:02 after O’Hara was assessed a technical for calling a timeout it did not have.
