It is also the anniversary of Boston legend Larry Bird scoring a triple-double to help lead the Celtics to a 104-91 win over the Detroit Pistons in Game 1 of the 1987 Eastern Conference Finals.
Bird logged 18 points despite shooting only 31.8 % from the floor that night, but also recorded 16 rebounds and 11 assists to secure the win for Boston.
The Indiana native would record 10 career playoff triple-doubles, including this one.
