## Resource

In 1986, the Milwaukee Bucks thought they had a shot at glory against the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals — even with Sidney Moncrief in MVP talks. But Larry Bird flipped the script, dropping 26 points in Games 1 and 2, then erupting for a triple-double in Game 3 to give Boston a commanding 3-0 lead. In Game 4, Bird took over with back-to-back threes and scored 14 of Boston’s final 16 points, finishing with 30 points and 5-of-6 from deep. Despite the sweep, Bucks coach Don Nelson praised Bird’s otherworldly play, and Bird himself shrugged it off, calling his clutch shots “routine.” A masterclass in legend-making.
