1985 NBA Finals, Gm 4: Larry Bird Dominates The 4th Quarter

Facing a possible 3-1 hole, Bird takes over the final period of game 4. He would lead Boston to a close win by scoring 12 of his 26 points in the 4th quarter, making clutch defensive plays and even assisting on DJ's game winning shot.

DJ without a doubt has always been an overlooked legend, what a great player.

Bird took a couple dribbles towards the basket before he passed out of the double to dj to get him a little more room for the shot. Little things like that Bird would do all game long that makes your whole team better.

Larry was at his peak in the mid-80s. Some of the best basketball ever played.

What a Clutch shot by DJ ... as for Bird ?
What can ya say - the Man was everywhere
Bird from deep, Bird with the midrange, Bird on the put-back, Bird with the RB, Bird wit the Offensive RB, Bird wit the steal, Bird draws the double kicks to DJ... GAME

This was Bird and Magic at their best. This was basketball at its highest level of play, competition, and skill.
This is real basketball by legends.

As a diehard Lakers' fan of the 1980's, I was heartbroken to hear of Dennis' death way too soon in his life. DJ was a class act. He was a hero in Seattle during the Sonics' championship run of 1978-79.

The golden age of professional basketball.

There's just so much talent on both sides, these two teams from 1984-1987 are the greatest ever. Three of the top five all time players on the court plus the depth of both benches. We were spoiled in the 80's

[michaelgallarza]

To be honest, Larry Bird was underrated. He was greater than people think…and he’s a consensus all time great.

When BIRD Takes over you can't stop him love Larry the legend

[didoman]

DJ was absolute money in the clutch. RIP Brother!

I still enjoy watching these Celtics vs. Lakers games from the 80's. But you can't pay me to watch the NBA today.

[Colstonewall]

I remember these games like yesterday. The whole country was talking about this series. Everyone was talking about "Bird vs Magic, Magic vs Bird, Celtics vs LA". . .Hell, I think even my grand-mother was talking about. .You simply can't imagine how big these games were, how great the NBA was at this moment.

[SuperBruins]

Bird was amazing...He was my idol growing up in the 80’s.

[sandyacombs]

The two greatest teams of all-time battling it out.

[rufusbarnabus]

Man this brings back the memories. This was must watch TV for the entire country.

[gocatgo]

Can't believe D.J. is gone! I remember that Larry said that he was the best that he'd ever played with. R.I.P.

[martinbarford]
