Larry Bird called out the Boston Celtics for their lack of mental toughness during the 1987 NBA Finals against the rival Los Angeles Lakers. Boston just squandered a golden opportunity in Game 4 that would have evened the series at two games apiece. Instead, the Celtics were left to wonder what could have been as the Lakers prevented them from a repeat. In just his second year in the NBA, Bird guided the Celtics to a championship, defeating the Houston Rockets in the 1981 Finals. Boston then returned to the championship round four consecutive seasons from 1984-87, winning titles in ’84 and ’86. In the 1987 Finals, the Celtics matched up with the Lakers, the team they beat in ’84 and lost to in ’85.
Despite dropping the first two games on the road, the Celtics felt confident coming home, especially under the 2-3-2 format. Boston suffered double-digit losses in each of the two games in LA but bounced back in Game 3. Bird and Magic Johnson battled it out before the Celtics escaped with a 109-103 victory to cut Boston’s series deficit to 2-1. Bird finished with 30 points and 12 rebounds. Johnson led all scorers with 32 points. He also added 11 rebounds and nine assists.It was Game 4, however, that demoralized Bird and the Celtics.
