November 7, 1987 - Larry Legend Two Buzzer Beaters - Double OT Game - As Called by Johnny Most

point line, okay, the shot is good now. Albert cuts it to four now, 114 to 110. They're pressing and now, whatever he lost the ball, he dribbles it all the time, but they hounded, they had Darren there to pick it up. he after beating a man appeared out of nowhere lost the ball from his own foot bird was the guy that was on him he was the guy that was pressuring him now DJ with the ball DJ puts it to Robert, he has Moses Malone and then he turns his pivot foot and lifts it, well Daryl Walker trying to beat Danny Court, now he goes up 105 to the left and they attack him now he quickly goes to the left wing Boston is behind by two less than a Minute to play in a ball play below, he quickly closes in on North Bernard and Bernard hits, making the lead four.

Very good. There are 53 seconds left on the right wing. It's Darren Day and the pivot quickly approaches Bird and lowers his head. he throws it in 4 37 seconds on the left side Trail for two to pass Now he quickly went to Williams he got rid of him quickly on Walker Walker takes him along a sideline Walker plays and plays and being a

double

safety there are 35 seconds left and now he quickly goes under from the center for the king of Karen's solid day went in there and DJ picked him up right now he goes to the bird fires halfway and only Kirsty says not together because they said a timeout was

called

with no burns on his hands and Daisy jumped on a three and won't count the timeout with 24 seconds left in our bullets score 116.

The Celtics won by 14. Well, coach Casey Jones, on one of the timeout calls from the bench, the Celtics had an extra man he went up the court and Bird in daylight scored the three-pointer from the sideline, he left, but it won't count because the timeout was actually full. The anguish of the whole thing is that that would have put him up by one, they are down. all three would have been up by one and there would have been 24 seconds left, of course that means Washington would have had a full cycle of, you know, getting the

game

winner, but who knows what will happen in a situation like that , very good, now Danny goes quickly to DJ 14 at the 13 shot clock. now the bird has him outside, the bird gets a beak, he goes to the cross court, now to Danny on the left side, he steps and That binds him.

Eight seconds left Danny tied it oh God we have a juicer here. I'm telling you, we have an amazing ball

game

. This was a great game in the second half. Danny was ready to hit that three-pointer that he was. He lined up behind the red stripe he faked it because the defense attacked him, he hooked up and then took the two-point tie, eight seconds left, hard timeout, this is the situation, eight seconds left in regulation, we're all tied up Celtics 116 bullets 116. bullets had the ball and they're going to go into his front court, okay, John Williams is guarding him and he still can't get it in, now he does, he goes to Malone, he gets fouled too, so he'll get a free kick.

Celtics Immediately call a timeout, it's a perfect play, pass from the right baseline to Daryl Walker who immediately passes the ball to Moses Malone wide open underneath and Walker got there, he got there after a setup and that's how got there, everyone is moving now, Walker suddenly. He broke free along the baseline on the right side and, well, he was there on the incoming pass, nobody caught him, we're watching the replay now, nobody was close to him, he was wide open on that baseline and no one detected it, that's incredible. That's right, Walker's perfect game is incredible because he slapped, uh, the ball writes it itself.

I thought he got there thanks to a pick because I saw all that movement while they were trying to punt and I think a Walker got there thanks to a pick, but no, you're right, he was absolutely free, people al

most

ignored him, he really could have made that shot himself, but Moisés, of course, a higher shooting percentage, oh, Moisés hits, that gives them a three-point lead and that puts Boston at maximum with behind the wall they have to go for a three-point play points or a very quick basket and then hope to get the ball back they go for three, I'm sure there are seven seconds left until timeout.

Washington D.C. Jones is very happy tomorrow. In the morning, no, as Daryl Walker was wide open and watching the replay, Dennis Johnson was the only one guarding Daryl Walker and Moses Malone, who had set up right below everyone else, was outside playing pass. Lane's bird had closed. the left sideline completely over the passer and now Boston has to take another timeout, no, that time I think Kevin Lagery wanted to see who Boston was going to face on the court and it's a 20 second timeout and they'll also put Conor Henry out there, so what they'll do is say, let's see, we'll have Connor Henry, uh, Danny Ainge, and uh, Bird will be out there, you know, and that gives him uh.

Three Deer three-point bombers, Robert Parish and DJ, will be the contingent, so it will basically be the starting five with Henry in place of Roberts. I'll see what happens, yeah, after what's okay, all the three-point shooters. receivers while DJ is going to put in the pass the crowd is on its feet now it goes to the birds the bird goes up three points down apart four seconds left and everything is tied again OMG and we have another timeout there is no doubt that the hair is our miraculous game unless something more miraculous happens in this ball game they got burned deep he was covered

double

team he got loose while I was carrying him to the right place put him jumping on that incredible three point red stripe they had two men on top bird and he got loose and it unloaded and hit the timeout four seconds left we're all tied at 119.

Bird grabs a passer and Robert Powers harasses the pass out of bounds and with Jennifer. Moses, yes, Robert Moses had to come out because everyone else was covered. He came out to try to help because they were about to turn the ball over on the second count. A second starts. Three seconds left. Very good. Now Moisés receives the ball. He loses the ball. he throws it wildly and that ends the ball game and it went to overtime foreigner hit him hard, he really didn't have much chance of going in well, Moisés tried to make that first shot and he was tied up and I think Washington at that time was looking for the missing, they didn't get it.

Moisés got loose and fired that shot. He also didn't want to knock the ball out of the rim because he figured if he could do that, a shot on the rebound, okay, he's so tough on the rebound that we're going to overtime in only the second game of the season at the end of regulation. Our score of the Celtics 119. and the Washington Bullets 119. Foreign News Radio 590 WEEI is the first station on your dial and the first day buy now and let the Goodyear value take you home Ordway is Johnny Moss here in Landover Maryland as we prepare for overtime these two clubs plus Washington and Boston tied at 119 each in regulation, okay? it's going to be parish and Malone in the jump the parish is there with DJ Bird Angel Day and now the lead is controlled by Washington John Williams Daryl Walker Jeff Malone Moses Malone and Bernard King, all good to the right, now quickly passes to Walker backs up up is not a king, he receives a pick, he goes behind, he goes to the baseline, he throws it up, he goes in and out and the rebound goes to Dave Quicks, he passes it to DJ at the break, he reaches eight and ains he dunked, he still has a shot, although when Jeff Malone grabbed him, he spun the ball and it didn't go in, but at least he got a shot, but he possibly could have had a three point play, I think he would have.

Give Darren Day credit for that, he was the guy who threw that ball straight away and got the extra man on the court and got the break right. Danny was advancing and scored the free throw. What's Boston ahead? You can buy two. 121 to 119 to score okay 4 33 left to play okay now go to the sidelines I'm alone Malone like an ocean is going to give a drive he throws it is a bad shot the bird gets the rebound there wasn't any rebound, but quickly, quickly who stole it John William Burr just took it for William stole it, well Williams comes in and ties it up, he took it home himself, Larry is actually losing turnovers, he has 38 points, but he said some turnovers too 121 121 the score is good now DJ with the ball on the right spends the day back up so as not to be left with Parish on the left now for DJ DJ holds the ball less than four minutes to play any overtime 355 Parish Baseline the rainbow is not good , the top ball comes out, the king king starts a break on the cut now it goes to Maloney he was traveling three against two and still Bernard King chooses to give it to Moses on the wing and I twice he has done it now in this game of ball and twice he got burned with that traveling violation, you know, on the fly, Moisés frequently does that, he just gets a little out of sync and, uh, uh, you know, he can't handle that situation as well as he does in other situations. situations. now the bird misses the shot Danny catches the rebound he takes it out again he goes to the bird again he is in jail and up he goes the day back to the bird the bird is on the left side line being guarded by William pretends Drive turns gets a selection enters the Lane shoots over Moses, has it set up, the isolation on the left side, of course, the isolation is slightly different this year 123 121 to score 3-10, it remains to play on the left now Daryl Walker, where The ball is held and bottom left by Danny Now. quickly comes in King King throws it and at 23 for Bernard King now stopped after a drive and uh just hit it less than three minutes to play in overtime 250 to be exact DJ has the ball our DJ takes it to the right Bird on the pop out he receives the pass he throws it up not good Parish has the rebound Moses while the rebound goes to William now Walker has a Walker Texas to the left 235 to the left okay Walker is playing in the game I will hold the ball and Danny challenges him from the outside, he doesn't accept the challenge, he goes to Moisés.

Moisés wants to throw it himself and he faces 125 to 123 to score Boston Trails by two, well ahead of this DJ DJ with 214 remaining. takes it upstairs and now goes to Danny Walker is writing Danny's shirt now goes in to Robert Robert fakes it and throws it up and ties it up again had Moses downstairs totally out of position on the uplink lost it somewhere where I left it missing a few minutes to play in overtime 155 to be exact and Daryl Walker is fiddling and manipulating a lot of shots now that King has him and King being guarded by two of them up top, he goes now 02 Jeff Maloney enters the lane misses the shot the rebound from Moses is good 28 now for Moses 127-125 we're looking at a ball game and a half no doubt about it how great this is a real Wing thing a red doozer to the left of the key Danny Now go back to DJ, it's going right to the left of the key. 125 left.

Now Danny has it. Danny takes a step back. Danny drives. Danny is in the lane. He throws it away. It's not good for him to go to the line. Daryl Walker fouled him and of course he didn't, since Walker is one of those guys who wants to foul him in four years. You know, Oscar Robertson won an entire race without a committee once over about 14 years. That's amazing, isn't it nice? Danny Ainge's Strife protecting. the ball with his body and Daryl Walker committing the foul Henry Bibby spent nine years the shot is good again and he hits iteverything tied with 20 minutes left here is Daryl Walker jumps the line to the left guarded by Danny to the left he goes Now quickly towards Jeff Malone now back to the double team of Bernard King Bernard takes him out of the cross room he goes towards Jeff Malone and a kickball goes out of bounds or was sent off by DJ Celtics continue to bend the ball right now putting pressure there forcing them to make that bad pass or pick up the pace a little bit at this point Bernard would put the ball in play it goes to Williams back to Walker and less than a minute to play here in overtime it's all tied 127 to 127. uh Walker up now Jeff Miller comes back to walk around the left side line my power steals the ball and goes to the bird, it was meant for Malone and Paris becomes robbed, now he went to the bird on the left the DJ takes the shot it's shot he's gone to Boston late 129-127 39 seconds left in Kevin Lockry takes the time Larry Bird says he loves seeing that ball in the hands of Dennis Johnson when the play is on the line long bird Cross pass to DJ and DJ just drives it in from the corner and the Celtics lead by two 39 seconds left in the timeout Boston 129.

Washington 127. It's time to play Basketball Mania presented by Welch, those Detroit 186 Denver 184 and the The lowest scoring game was played between the Fort Wayne Pistons and the Minneapolis Lakers in November stations and its consequences on top of the world Around the Clock News Radio 590 WEEI There are 39 seconds left in this moment the Celtics are up by two 29-127 they have a foul to give up here it's good Daryl Walker on the line on the left and he sees my age Walker playing and playing on the left side he wants to take the ball to King he gets the ball of King and King ties it ah there 26 seconds left, okay, DJ taking the ball, ball tied again, it's 129 to 129, the clock has been reduced to 17.

The shelter is going to qualify and is also calling a timeout and There are 12 seconds on the shot clock, 15 total, what they want to do. Right now, John, I think it's wasting so much time, there's a difference in the shot clock versus the game clock of three seconds and what I think they want to do is waste as much time as possible on this shot. Let's say there are three seconds left on the shot clock so Washington doesn't have much time right now Kevin Loggery I think he's going to question the clock as he walks up to the shop table now that he's back on the bench let's take a break to identify the station, this is Boston Celtics Radio Network, this is Newsradio 590 a.m.

WEEI Boston, the local radio station for the Boston Celtics. This has been a phenomenal game so far. John and I go to the studio every few days to record the dream game tapes. I have to tell you this. The game has been one of the dream game tapes where they come up with all these spectacular plays in the last four or five minutes. In this case they are Major League players and no one wrote this script. I was going to say that in dream games there are Fans of this game are real players, that's right, and the dream game is very exciting.

You could be part of that. You could be the guy that helps the championship get a win. And also, if you want a telephone message tape. We have that too because I can play around with your answering machine and the number you have to call is 1-800-533. You win the letter u win, so it's 1-800-533-u-w-i-n. We've had about 600 winners. So far I haven't had a loser yet, right? Nobody loses, well, let's see if there is a winner in this ball game dressed in green. 129 129 15 seconds left. The Celtics will send the same five days of parish birds.

PJ hates Jeff Malone. King Walker Moisés under John Williams throws the bullets here we go 15 seconds, okay Danny getting ready to put the ball in the play, passes to DJ and DJ seems to have to mark us up to eight now he passes it to Darren, they fell reduced to four bird has the first to drive first was nailed first going to the line four seconds left in a ball game in overtime they did exactly what they wanted to do they let the clock count down lose all the time I can so you force Washington when they get the ball, they're going to have to rush a shot and what hands do you want the ball to go into with about five seconds left on the 33rd shot clock.

You know he's going to do something they overplayed it. They have the double team. What did he do? He committed the foul. Even that was the only option he had. They must be scared to death when Larry Bird is on the ground, just like when magic is on the ground. I mean, you have to do it. You'll be scared to death with four seconds left in overtime and if that guy, whether it's a bird or his magic or me, likes the rain, but they have the ball, you must be scared to death if you're roofing the other way. , okay, the shot is good for a bird that puts you up by one with four seconds left on the clock and you have another step to come. 41 points for the ball game, okay.

Bird lowers the shot switch 131-129 Locker he wants to set. play, we have another timeout in our post game, tonight we will review all the other actions in the NBA, of course, we will analyze all the numbers in this ball game and this has been crazy. One of the guests featured on Celtics basketball receives gift certificates from the fine restaurant Joseph's Aquarium, Seafood on the boardwalk at 101 Atlantic Avenue in Boston, for the Celtics, they will travel back to Boston tomorrow and then early Monday in the morning, they will fly to New York City for Monday night. meeting with Rick pitino's New York Knickerbockers but right now they have a two-point lead with four seconds left and if this game is far from good, the way the bullets have been able to generate offense in this game and I think that if we are looking for the driving force at the end of this ball game, mainly Moses Malone Bernard King and an asterisk for Daryl Walker, well you know, on our Dream game tape, okay, usually the hero steals the ball right here, like this that you are anticipating that.

John asks, you don't understand, we write the scripts for those we don't know, the script for this one we will write for you, well, the thing is that uh, automatically, uh, you would think that Boston is going to apply the pressure, but they have to have a lot Be careful not to commit that foul wait a minute wait wait just a second Jack while I'm looking at the clock right now they have a foul to give up so away from the ball now they could afford to foul they could afford to foul I thought that Washington will move the ball to half court another timeout the Celtics can choose right here well if that's accurate if that's accurate probably that's what they're going to do We're going to do two seconds or one second and then commit the foul away from the ball .

I have to do it away from the ball, although right now they are trying to put the ball in play. Oh, open, it's Daryl Walker Walker, one second. On the clock everything is tied up again and you will believe it and once again Daryl Walker broke free, this time he broke free in the left corner, I don't know how, but now twice on big plays, Daryl Walker got wide open. he was moving when the incoming pass came into play he jumped to the corner he grabbed it and immediately picked it up he wasn't far from that three point line John this could have easily been a three point play he was standing right next to the white line, which is the college three point play, if he had taken a good step back, this game could have been over, he came off a pick and there wasn't a switch, he came off a pick and there wasn't a switch and, uh, he got three in the left corner and he threw it, I mean he had nothing else to do, I mean he couldn't get a rebound, he couldn't go to the not much fly and he let it fly and he let it fly very. with precision and at one extreme, unlike the Dream Team, we didn't have the steel setups for a dream game, right?

It was a phenomenal game that happened so early in the season and what's interesting is when you look back. Looking back on this game, I don't think the Celtics really played a good game tonight, they've had their moments, they've had big plays when they needed a big play overall, this hasn't been a good showing to look at forced to do so. a lot of things in the half court they didn't run the ball well they didn't push the ball they weren't doing the things they were trying to do this season get that transition game going but then they got a great spot they need another one and we're going to the second overtime.

I think Washington had a lot to do with Washington was playing great basketball and getting the

most

out of his troops and I think that had a lot to do with that, okay, guess who should get the ball? Connor Henry is also in the ball game, but guess who should get the ball, as TJ will once again hand off to a very, very good passer, good shooters. Someone there just

called

Another Time Out Kevin Locker. He wanted to check one more time and see who they were going to take off the court and the only change they made was Connor Henry for Darren's day giving them that three-pointer, uh, Bob gave him the outside. range forget three points, they don't need three points right now, but he's got the outside range and that's all you're going to have time for, you're going to have time for an incoming pass and a quick shot, a quick release.

I'll have to download it real quick when he was six years old, you were in Phoenix and that's what Bird did, right? It was an incoming pass from half court. Cedric Maxwell did it and it happened right on the bench, right in front of the scoreboard in the exact same position where the ball is right now. Maxwell double-teamed it, just set it up and it wasn't more than three or four feet from the sideline and deep, that was a good 28-33, ah, remember this. I really like the overtimes I saw against the St Louis Hawks and, you know, in the playoffs in '57, they let the Celtics win, they kept trading heroics and the same thing in the Phoenix Series in '76, the triple.

Overtime game at the Boston Garden, but the double overtime game at the Boston Garden let the Celtics lose to the Bucks. You know, there have been several of them, then there was a fabulous one where the Celts had a hope with a second or two seconds left. left on the clock and everyone and the clock this is the score the timekeeper let the clock run this was in Seattle and if you remember now they had to walk a long way to get to their dressing room and suddenly they discovered that there were two seconds left and the Celtics they had to come back, they had to come back on the court more and play the last two seconds and Dick Snyder hit one at the

buzzer

that won the game.

You must have been very glad that uh The Time Guardian, you sure had some good things to say about that gentleman. He had some good things to say about a lot of people. Our bird is trying to fight. He fights. He lets the guard hit a rim, but he doesn't go in. I think 10,000 people had heart attacks here, well that was terrible, it was close. He hit the iron on the same side he was shooting, it went up and it didn't go in and he complains and just curses that he had a body on him. in the process, I don't think unless it's a really flagrant foul, you're going to get a referee to make that call it's just not going to happen.

I've surprised John because we're the only time something like this happens where they make the decision if the guy has a chance to get a shot and because the body covers him he never gets it, then they'll say, well, you've got to give him a chance to receive an injection. It goes out if you take it away they won't qualify okay we'll keep it here as we're ready for a second overtime in just our second game of the season 87-88 or all tied at 131 131. We were tied at 119 apiece . at the end of regulation and we continued forward in this ball game as Larry Bird, with one second left in that first overtime, picked it up, hit the iron and she didn't fall, we may still be talking to you right before flight time tomorrow morning, let's use This new club no one wants to give an inch, no one wants to give in, that's what makes the game of basketball so exciting from time to time, well, the other question we have to pose and we've seen at various times in this ball game where it seemed like each team seemed a little tired, I thought before in the third quarter.

Washington Bullocks seemed a little worn out in the fourth quarter at the end of the ball game with about four or five minutes left, the Celtics seem to be. dragging the tail a little bit now you have basically the same 10 guys, well, Boston alternates with Darren's day, uh, Connor Henry and now Fred Roberts is coming into the ballgame at that spot, but we've basically seen the same thing. 10 or 11 guys on the court during the last five and six minutes of Regulation and during that first overtime, let's see if they start dragging right now, let's see if it's noticeable enough.

Walking has been alternating, Terry Catledge and John Williams too and, of course. Now Terry Catalyz is the guy there, well, DJ has some advice from theparish and mentions it, he's there along with Paris Bird Fred Roberts and Danny Ames, the giant DJ has the ball and he's holding it, he wants to get the power. she takes him to Paris Paris throws him no good there is a foul that will be on Bernard King in the substitution Moses Malone came up to pick up Larry Bird and that left Bernard King to protect Robert Parish whom they were looking to feed They did it and they pushed him from behind the bicycles.

Alright, now DJ has the ball. DJ goes to the right towards Danny on the right sideline. He goes to Fred. Fred holds the ball. He just holds her. He gets to the foul line and throws a big pass. that's deflected out of bounds Boston gets the ball back the shot clock is down to 14. it's amazing with all the physical stuff we've had no one has been ejected yet John very good now quickly an overhead pass back to the bird now to DJ DJ Flyers misses the rebound goes with the pass to Daryl Walker has been a force here in the extra the extra moments of play now I could say that Malone goes in and misses the shot and was eliminated out of bounds Robert Parish has the rebound and someone gets it he hit the ground and knocked the ball out of bounds well, don't call it that, but it looked like someone knocked him to the ground as he went up and watched the replay, uh no, not a good call, Robert just fell.

Catledge was there challenging him, but never take him down. Now the puppy approaches Fred. Fred receives back up now to Robert Parish Moses drops the ball, they get it, it's a bird, bird between his legs, he shoots and misses the rebound, he fought for it, Moses has it and Moses now hits it to Daryl Walker, he's right there next with Moses Bernard, Jeff Malone and Terry catlich. hello Walker takes it over the line to the left sideline guarded by age and puts it in and hits with the over Moses recovers it and takes the shot and misses the rebound goes out to the foul line DJ has to go to Danny Danny changes direction comes in and they call for a charge and he was going laterally a good stanislavaci from Jeff Malone because Danny was going laterally and Jeff Malone cut him off and that wasn't an offensive foul no I don't think he ever stood up I think He was still trying to get a position, but like you said, a great acting job and sometimes you can get it right.

Less than four minutes to play 317 to be exact, now Terry Catledge joins Moses Malone's turnaround. He grabs the rebound for Danny and he bluffs, he takes the down pass himself and goes to the right 305. and he enters Paris and Parish stops the ball and they call it an offensive foul, well, they lose hope, that will be the fifth. two on Robert Powersch, causing the Celtics some problems. Daryl Walker crosses the line to the left. There are less than three minutes left to play here in a second overtime. Walker is in the circle. He has it by age.

He now returns to the hands of Jeff Malone. Malone. he rushes to fall and commits the foul. How is it 131 131 2 48 to be exact left in the second overtime? Jeff Malone will go to the line which is now the fifth personal foul on Dennis Johnson, so Robert and DJ with five each, now Jeff Malone puts it. ahead 132-131 we were two minutes and 12 seconds without either team scoring in the second overtime before that free throw and now the shot is good so now the bullets are ahead by two 133 to 131 ritj with the ball DJ he lowers it on the right side line up up he goes to Fred Fred looking closely he still has it on the right he goes to Danny Danny was nailed by Walker he doesn't call they don't call him Danny turns around he shoots and yeah boy, Walker was right in his face what is it? 33 133 225 they left Walker on the line to the left and called a timeout which wasn't what you call a high percentage shot and I don't think Danny was aware of how much time was left on the clock, it was about 10 seconds but I think that was the fear he had, it seemed like a long time went by and he had Walker wrapped all over him and, losing his balance, he picked up that thing and it ended up going through him, uh, yeah, yeah, that one had eyes, actually.

He had eyes, but it wasn't a good shooting percentage and, as you say, he probably had the feeling that time was running out, he was rushing, he was rushing. I don't think, I don't think he could see the clock because Walker was in his face and he just couldn't see the clock well. The other thing we should add is that the 24 second clock in most Arenas is located right above the board and in this Arena it is located high up. from the ceiling, so you really have to take your eyes off the floor of the action and look up, and a lot of players who aren't used to doing that don't want to do it because that's when you take your eyes off the ceiling. ball so they can undress you you can't complain and if they put it in the men's bathroom it wouldn't be a bad idea it wouldn't be a bad idea at all but for the sake of equality I think they have to put it in the women's room too, but there's a difference when you can see it on the board and you know it because that's where you're focusing your attention anyway, that's where you're shooting and you can see it instead of seeing it up there absolutely.

I don't know why that's not standard, you know the way they had it in the corners, so you know in the corners that was really visible and I think on top of the basket is the best place, but it absolutely should be securely attached. . to the backboard above the basket, but the 24-second clock in this building is above where we are. I can't explain it, I have no idea why there are some arenas, by the way this is not the only one that has 24 seconds. By the way, they score so high, which is a plus, they have both the 24 second clock and the game clock on that same board.

Hello Bernard King, you've already crossed the line. He goes to Jeff Malone and Malone walks halfway. Now him. he has an ocean, he gets in and loses control of the ball, he committed the foul that could be on Robert, yes, that's it, he falls, oh, that puts a little pressure on Casey, he has to come up with a chain, does he? what are you doing? Are you going with Acres? He leaves with Acres, a low house. I mean, who is he going with? I have no idea about four Lakers. He left with Acres. He is right.

He could have also gone with Fred, but he chooses to go with Acres because it is Acres. a little more physical than either of the other two and at this point I think that's what you need, well the other thing is he's a good offensive rebounder and that's something else they're looking for right now, right now, Jeff Malone hits the free throw 134-133 he hasn't had a ball game either Shabby 24 points and the shot is good and he said about four free throws right on the gun four of them 135 133 the score is good now DJ with the ball Boston is behind for two and bird returns it to DJ now the day leaves less than two minutes to get here in a second extra time and comes in bird bird throws it and they fouled him Great piece they fouled them and that could be an opportunity to make a strange score here and give Boston a one-point lead, it will be with Larry Bird's Bernard King post move for an arc that immediately screams as the cursing bird comes out, swings toward the pivot and backs up and Bernard King was just directing the body towards him and he did a great job of acting and he could move in the other direction right now Larry Bird will go to the line and get a free throw and Bernard will come out like he did, he fouled out or he's just getting pulled. eliminated, look, I think that's where he made his mistake.

John, he made the mistake of doing a great job of acting. I don't think they would have called the foul anyway if I had hit that drop, okay, Bird missiles and Danny got the rebound. and the birds hung it on their backs and lost it so that they don't get the advantage of that point. Okay, Daryl Walker takes it over the line to the right sideline guarded by Danny and down to the left of the key and Moses. Malone and Mark Akins win in a war and Moses closes the ball out of bounds. Acres above it.

Akers was trying to reposition Fulham and Moses sensed it and that's where he lost position on the ball. Right now, everything is tied up. There's a half left TJ won the ball DJ watches violins and plays around catches the bird Valerie is on him Danny got kicked out of the whole thing now he comes in like a bird double team immediately He puts his head down and leaves and leaves DJ Now Danny Danny lets him fly , that's gone, my three sons, right now, Daryl Walker takes him over the line to the middle since the DJ had an ocean and Walker didn't try to start a five-on-four with him.

DJ was left hanging in the attempt. steel, but they tried to sign a five on four, okay, Jeff Malone enters the lane and shoots it, that's good, Boston still has a one point lead 138-1 uh 37 and less than a minute left to play, 50 seconds left . very good, DJ with the ball, the Celtics try to protect that one point lead, if you can, add more if you can on the left, he goes to Darren, our day, he comes out again, the bird, he goes to the line he misses and they hit him. Released, he returns. to Darren Day and they ask Bird to go up and down and that's why he lost the ball.

It was a good play by Mark Ellery. He certainly was. Gallery put his hands on Larry Bird and he couldn't make that shot and Larry tried to change what he wanted to do at Midstream to pass the ball to Darren Day and that's when he left the court and then he went back down with Ellery without touching the ball, that It's a turnover and suddenly with 35 seconds left the Bullets had the ball and were down. for one the good sign is that there are 35 seconds left if the Celtics do their job but here is the photo we have 35 seconds left in the second overtime can you handle the third we have to we can't leave they won't let us put our contract it says you have to work Until the end of the game it's okay, well now I'm just wondering I just want to make sure that you're okay, you're okay, we don't have a choice, we don't have a choice, what about you? a radio land, are you guys okay?

Well, it will have to be 138 to 137, the Celtics lead by one, in the second overtime, with 35 seconds left, and it looks like the Celtics are going to get that ball back. Again, as long as they do the job off the boards or Washington does the job and gets the basket, that means Boston will get the ball back once again, but we've seen a great ball game down the stretch and mainly the forces you heard Ainge for Boston and for the Washington Bullets, it's been Moses Malone, Bernard King, Daryl Walker and Jeff Malone, those are the guys who have been coming up with the big poison, we've seen so many big plays in this ball game so far.

Let's see what we have, we have the bullets with the ball. Mark Ellery passes it to Daryl Walker, passes the line to the right of the key. Garden by age and a deadly and manipulative cross guard to the left, he brings down Jeff Malone, it looks like he traveled, he throws it, it's not good, the rebound is caught by the bird. There are seconds left, don't let him run, now quickly, the bird has the ball again, he can slap it, it passes to Danny, he gets it back and it's down to 12. Back to Mark acres and Mark Akers goes to the hoop and got fouled and Moisés fouled him and the pressure right now is on rookie Mark Akers, they elected not to foul him when Boston got into the Four Corners bird and took him out deep. around the timeline and they chose not to foul the bird thinking maybe he would make that pass that he made to acres on the baseline and Moses Malone falder acres is off the edge, it's not good that he's going to hit uh uh, there will be two- The point leads to the cartilage and they called an immediate timeout.

The clock has been reduced to seven. Well, I put a lot of pressure. Well, he's on top of everyone right now. Boston is just one point ahead. Mark Akers. He had a chance. a rookie and he missed both well, these are the things we've been talking about with the rookies. You get very excited about children because they have so much promise, but you have to understand that they are going to make mistakes. have nervousness and I have no doubt that the butterflies were doing a lot of dancing when Mark Acres stepped to the line for those two free throws, maybe the butterfly should have taken the shot, but, whatever, you don't want to knock out Mark Akins for this because this kid has made his contributions in this ball game and the game we saw last night also because the kid is a worker, he really is a worker, no, I think there's no doubt about it, you know, but the fans, I think a Sometimes I go a little overboard with rookies and forget that they're rookies, they're first-year players and they're playing against veterans, veterans from the season that didn't have butterflies flying and they make mistakes, there's no question about it, hey, this guy has to go to the line with eight seconds left to play in double overtime and protect a one-point lead.

It's a very, very difficult situation even for a veteran, but for a rookie it's almost impossible, well, smart. move by the Washington Bullets to not commit that foul on Larry Bird outside the corner and wait until a bird passed them, they put pressure on Larry but never got to the point where Allery was going to commit that foul, he waited. Until the bird was going to throw that ball, he got to acres on the baseline and Moses Malone immediately went and broke them up oh no, I think Boston still has one to give, right?, right? In the bonus situation, they have one to give yes, yes, they have one to give, so I couldwork well for them, okay, the crowd is up, I have to be careful with Daryl Walker, we have already learned that at this point they are going to do it since they already crossed the line.

Already on the line and Mark Galleries putting the ball in a play and it goes towards Moses Moisés goes towards the hoop he throws it up he has it oh that puts them ahead by one and now Boston has two seconds to shoot wow Acres went to steal from Moses Malone when they received that incoming pass, he went for the ball and once he did, Moses just turned to look at the pass, DJ, one day quite Darren on top of him and Moses decided to take the diagonal drive towards the hole and I place up and in and it gives Washington a one point lead with two seconds left and we know where the ball is going right now.

I have a feeling, well now I have a feeling that Ball is going to go to number 33, but I'll tell you Kevin Locker, he knows where he's going too and, well, that can change who he ends up in, in what hands, if he overdoes the double cover immediately if you try to put a bird in a box. and keep the ball away from him. I think you can see one of the shooters receive it. You know, it very well could be good to bend them and maybe one of the handles will come loose and square up and be a good spot for a guy.

They also like to stop doing it. What they've done is they tried that double team on Burn and Larry was able to get the shot out of this situation so far in this ball game, one on one he didn't and he was able to get out. that double team and get some daylight okay let's see what we have here's the picture double overtime two seconds left the bullets lead by one 139 to 138 we've seen a fantasy game a dream game we've seen the league back and forth, you know, and I think most of the starfish have happened with less than a minute left in the game.

In fact, both teams have had trouble scoring in the first two and a half. minutes of each of the overtime periods and then have added some points on the board. Connor Henry will check to see if Fred Roberts is in, so Boston has some guys that can put the ball in the hole right now and where do we go? right, he's going to go to the bird, he's got a shot, get it, he got us a missed 3-5 goal and that's it, it's over, can you believe it? Can you believe it, he hit a three-pointer with no time left and they won the ball. game they only give them two it makes no difference they win the ball game with both of them I think it was too I think he was stopped or he was inside the line they inserted Charles Jones into the ball game to score it Haynes got the ball, the bird , the bird was moving before the pass came and Charles Jones fumbled, the bird got daylight momentarily, he picked it up, it was Ole Miss and with two seconds left he rescues it in double overtime.

Larry Bird one step at the red line and the Celtics are now 2-0, we have seen the miracle happen time and time again by both clubs. I mean, we saw some miraculous things from Moses Malone. We saw two miracles thrown by a bird and one from the top of the key that kept the ball. live game and won the ball game in the second overtime right on the bus
