This was part of a 3 day stretch of outstanding playoff basketball in May 1992 This thriller was sandwiched between: 1. A classic Bulls/Knicks battle at MSG on Saturday afternoon 2. Blazers/Suns 2OT, the highest scoring playoff game ever on Monday night
The 1992 playoffs were great. There were so many wonderful memories and moments all throughout the entire playoffs. I grew up a Bulls fan in Chicago, but Magic and Bird were always fun to watch, and the Celtics or Lakers were really must see t.v. back then. Old school basketball is so much more enjoyable to watch, to me anyway. R.I.P. Reggie Lewis, he was a great player and seemed like he was about to become a real big superstar. If he or Len Bias had not passed away so tragically and unexpectedly, I think Boston would have been real contenders in the 1990s. What a shame...
Love toughness. Yet old-school toughness only benefitted Lakers, Celtics, and cash cow teams. This is why I like the Detroit Piston. They exposed the double standard of the NBA. Plus they will more often than not send their starters to do the dirty work. Unlike Celtics of this era who tend to send the bench before their starters. I apologize with all due respect. Ralph Sampson and Hakeem will beat any "What if" guards or forwards. Sorry. I've seen that era and still watch the game today. You're not a real basketball fan if that is what you think or believe. Ya'll are the same NBA fans who said the ABA wasn't basketball.
If Reggie Lewis and Len Bias stayed alive, they could've lead the Celtics deep in the playoffs throughout the 90s like Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown are doing now (not sure about rings since Jordan was still around)
Great game and that opening. Thank you John Tesh. Also, is that Chuck Dailey doing the commentary? If so, excellent, saw this when it aired, just can’t remember
Nance Big Scoring game 20:19 & Game Changing Blk & as well Reggie Lewis did all he can but down the stretch too much fouling & missed especially at FT line
I never hear anyone talk about this series. Mark Price was so money with his jumper during this period. The playoffs were really exicting at that time. 1992 was a great time to be an NBA fan!
Reggie Lewis was a pure hooper. This was the best playoff series he ever had. By the time of his tragic passing, I don't even think he had reached his peak yet...Also, prime, healthy Mark Price is one of the most underrated PG's in NBA history. To me he was a better offensive scoring version of John Stockton while still being nearly as good a passer and facilitator.
Price seemed more athletic, better 3, better mid-range shot, better free throw, and would have averaged a couple more assists per game if he had Malone. His high was 10 per game at his best. Stockton averaged over 10.5 10 years in a row! lol Crazy. I would also say Stockton was tougher and more durable as well.
@@joebauers3746 Good points! Stockton was definitely the all around better and 2-way PG and availability was far more than Price. But watching quite a bit of Price in his prime, that guy was pretty outstanding. And his game was actually well ahead of it's time. He would have killed it in later eras.

They definitely would have competed and contended for sure.
@JamesHardenoverKoSampson wasn't winning anything. be13
This is when the NBA was great.
Final career playoff series for Larry Bird.
That means bird last game was right down the road from LeBron
RIP Lewis
Lewis and Bias would’ve been spectacular.
If Reggie Lewis and Len Bias stayed alive, they could've lead the Celtics deep in the playoffs throughout the 90s like Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown are doing now (not sure about rings since Jordan was still around)
This was an evenly matched 7 game series that got overshadowed by the Chicago/New York series at the same exact time.

Great Gems bball game
👍
Reggie was LIKE THAT 🙏🏾
Mark Price had just about the softest shooting touch you will ever see. What a underrated great player he was. Should be in the HOF.
Would love to have watch Bullls vs. Celtics in 1992 ECF instead of Cavs
HELL YEAH
Long as it's playoff ball.i don't care.im that fanned out😂😂
I'd argue that Boston versus Cleveland in today's era in the second round of the playoffs would put us to sleep, just 3's and unnecessary fouls etc
Shut up comrade

@@Riles3152 Yea, Price was one of my favorites back then for sure.
@@joebauers3746I’d say Stockton had the slightly higher basketball IQ as well as Jerry Sloan
@@jayrodriguez9211 Yea, he was pretty conservative though, maybe part of why he never won a title even though he had Malone.
great match thanks alot waiting for another interesting mathces
👍
Put This Game On NBA TV Hardwood Classic On TV
NBA tv is a joke.
So damn sad seeing Reggie Lewis
With the great Tom Hammond at the mic
RIP Reggie and Chuck Daly
AWESOME
👍
Losing this game cost the Celts the series. Had they pulled it out, they would have been up, 3-1. No way they would have blown that.
Was Ehlo ever in position defensively? Dude had a long career for someone who I always remember being OK at best.
Damn I didn't know Larry Nance coyld shoot like that. His son sure can't
Bang....bang...lol. and to lewis. Bang.
Whose people commentated this game?
Don Criqui, Joel Meyers, and Magic Johnson
@@y2jtopgun Joel Meyers the same guy who called 81 point game?

Games like this bring back fond memories of the NBA. Those days are gone. Now it’s stand on the perimeter and shoot threes and no defense. Sad.
Nance 90s durant
bird is a poor man's blake griffin
