May 22, 1988 - Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals… the scene was the Boston Garden. It is a team game, but it was a battle between two future hall-of-famers…

The Celtics Larry Bird tangled all night with the Hawks Dominique Wilkins. In fact the Hawks had a chance to put away Boston two days earlier, but failed 102-100. The game went back-n-forth and was tied 99-99 with just under six minutes to play. Both stars scored 11 points each in the final 5:57 of action.

The Human Highlight Film finished with a game-high 47 points on an amazing 19-for-23 shooting from the floor. Larry Legend did his part, too. Scoring 34 points including 20 in the deciding 4th quarter. At the end the Celtics were the victors by the score of 118-116.

Here are some of the video highlights…
