Ce dernier match de la série a été désigné par ESPN, en 2010, comme le meilleur match 7 de l'histoire des finales NBA
La performance la plus célèbre de Reed a eu lieu le 8 mai 1970 dans le match 7 joué au Madison Square Garden. En raison d'une grave blessure à la cuisse subie lors du match 5, un muscle déchiré qui l'a empêché de jouer le match 6, il était peu probable qu'il joue dans le match 7. Pourtant, Reed a surpris les fans en marchant sur le terrain pendant l'échauffement, générant des applaudissements des fans. Au début du match, il a marqué les deux premiers paniers des Knicks lors de ses deux premiers tirs, ses seuls points du match. Il a ensuite défendu sur Wilt Chamberlain, le limitant à deux tirs marqués en neuf tentatives. Après le match dans les vestiaires des Knicks, Howard Cosell a déclaré à Reed, à la télévision nationale : "Vous incarnez le meilleur de ce que l'esprit humain peut offrir."

It was Game 7 of the 1970 NBA Finals, and nobody knew if Willis Reed would play. The center and captain of the New York Knicks had suffered a torn muscle in his right thigh during Game 5 against the Los Angeles Lakers, and had not played in Game 6 when Wilt Chamberlain's 45 points and 27 rebounds enabled the Lakers to tie the series at 3-3. When the teams took the floor for pre-game warmups, Reed was not with his New York teammates. He remained in the lockerroom, deep in the bowels of the building. "I wanted to play," Reed recalls. "That was for the championship, the one great moment you play for all your life. I didn't want to have to look at myself in the mirror 20 years later and say I wished I had tried to play." Reed took an injection to dull the pain in his leg, and just moments before tipoff he limped through the tunnel and onto the court. Waves of cheers cascaded down from the Garden stands as fans caught sight of the Knicks' captain, a sight that was not lost on New York's opponents. "I saw the whole Laker team standing around staring at this man," said Knicks guard Walt Frazier. "When I saw that, when they stopped warming up, something told me we might have these guys!" Reed lined up against Chamberlain for the opening tap and scored the Knicks' first two baskets of the game. Those would prove to be his only points, but his presence was more than enough to inspire the Knicks to a 113-99 victory and the franchise's first NBA Championship. Overshadowed by Reed's emotion-charged effort was one of the great playoff performances in NBA history by Frazier, who led the Knicks with 36 points and 19 assists.
