Baltimore Sun
June 2008
Five best games
1. 1984 Finals, Game 4: One of the most intense games in NBA history. The Celtics were in danger of going down 3-1 when Kevin McHale took out Kurt Rambis on a fast break. Larry Bird clinched a 129-125 win in overtime with a shot over Magic Johnson, and Boston went on to win the series.
2. 1987 Finals, Game 4: Magic won it with a running hook to give the Lakers an insurmountable, 3-1 series lead.
3. 1962 Finals, Game 7: Frank Selvy missed a 15-footer that could've given the Lakers their first series win over Boston. The Celtics, behind Bill Russell, won in overtime.
4. 1969 Finals, Game 7: Don Nelson sent Russell off the right way with a game-winning shot that hit the back of the rim, bounced straight up and fell through.
5. 1962 Finals, Game 5: Elgin Baylor turned in perhaps the greatest game in Finals history with 61 points and 22 rebounds as the Lakers won, 126-121.
