Nine days earlier, a Dell Curry elbow broke the bone under Bird's left eye. He finished that game seeing two rims. Three nights later he showed up in goggles and scored 36 on the Spurs. This is the fourth and final goggles game — 34 points, 12-of-22, zero fouls, against a Pacers team with a 22-year-old rookie named Reggie Miller who set a franchise rookie 3-point record that night. Bird played four games in the goggles and shot 55% from the floor. In his first game without them, he went 8-for-19 while Michael Jordan scored 50. The full WLVI TV-56 broadcast — Bob Cousy on the call, the rim-simulation graphic, the Ainge and Miller record nights, and the first Celtics season sweep of Indiana.
