that was the series when Larry made his bones.
we had been dominated the previous year by the same 76ers in a 4 - 1 series loss.
in 81, it was looking the same ........ down 3 - 1 and trailing in all of the final 3 games in the last 5 minutes. simply one of the greatest Celtic playoff series of all time, topped off by Bird hitting the winning banker from 17' off the left wing.
