Answers to the Celtics vs. Lakers Quiz
Layup-A) 9-3 Boston
Dunk-B) Clutch Dennis Johnson swished a 20-footer just before the buzzer on a Larry Bird feed to beat the Lakers 107-105 in game four of the 1985 NBA Finals.
Free throw-B) Paul Pierce was named MVP of the 2008 NBA Finals.
Free throw-C) Bob Cousy sprained his ankle late in game 6 of the 1963 Finals at LA yet returned to lead Boston to title-clinching win in his final NBA game.
Jump shot-B) James Worthy floated the ill-advised crosscourt pass in the waning seconds of game 2 in the 1984 Finals which Gerald Henderson picked off before sinking the game-tying layup. Earvin Johnson then inexplicably dribbled out the final seconds of regulation to force OT, which Boston won to even the series.
A) Earvin Johnson B) James Worthy
Jump shot-Celtic reserve Scott Wedman nailed the game-winning left baseline jumper with 15 seconds left in overtime of Game 2 in the 1984 Finals to give the Celtics a 122-121 lead.
Robert Parish then stole the ball from Bob McAdoo in the corner on the ensuing play and Bird hit two foul shots to clinch the victory.
Hook shot-Hustling third-string center Greg Kite grabbed nine rebounds and rejected a fast break layup by Earvin Johnson to inspire Boston to a 109-103 win over LA in game three of the 1987 Finals.
Despite scoring zero points to 30 by Larry Bird, Kite may have been the game MVP.
Jump shot-Boston is 4-1 in seventh games vs. the Lakers. They edged LA in 1962, 1966, 1969 and 1984, and lost a nailbiter in 2010.
3-pointer-D) Guard Frank Selvy missed an open 14-footer from the left wing as time expired in game 7 of the 1962 Finals, forcing an overtime session that Boston won 110-107. Curiously, Hot Rod Hundley passed to Selvy instead of Jerry West or Elgin Baylor, but Selvy (who scored 100 points in a college game for Furman) was open.
3-pointer-C) Tom Heinsohn never faced the Lakers in an NBA Finals, although he was one win away from facing them in 1973.
Center Mel Counts helped Boston beat LA in the 1965 and '66 Finals, and then almost helped the Lakers rally to beat the Celtics in game 7 of the 1969 Finals
Red Auerbach beat the Lakers in 1959-62-63-65-66. Bill Russell beat LA as player-coach in 1968 and 1969. Doc Rivers turned the trick in 2008 while K.C. Jones led the Celts over LA in 1984.
