Has anyone seen this episode? It's from the last season. The rescues are basically routine but the highlight is the basketball game at the end of the episode. The guys of station 51 are playing against station 16. Chet comes off the bench in the second half for our heroes from 51 and he hits one basket after another and wins the game! This was obviously staged but it's so laughable, and the basketball court they play on looks like it was set up in the middle of a bus terminal or something!

Definitely a unique episode, the series was ending so I guess they wanted to inject some humor and try something different.

Emergency! is great, 70's TV at it's finest and all the characters are likable.

I agree. I think that episode was one of my favorite ones. I really like the grin on Capt. Stanley's face when Chet made the second basket.
