I know some won't believe me, but I was actually at this game. Easter Sunday 1991. We sat in the front row of the balcony right behind the basket - that steep and high level where the 100-something steps down to the front were tiny - like a foot long - and you thought for sure (at least as a kid) that you or somebody else was gonna slip and come flying down the stairs.
The Celtics were shooting at the basket we were above in the fourth, and I remember Reggie hitting that 3, and I'm positive Jordan hit what would have been a game winner on the other end but they waved it off as being too late. Although that may have been in overtime. To be honest, I don't remember how many overtimes there were, I just remember it was an amazing game the Celtics won, and it stuck out especially because it was Easter Sunday.
It never occurred to me, probably because I was there without the benefit of announcers telling us the pertinent stuff (and I was 10), that Reggie had blocked Jordan 4 times. Now that I know I was at the game, I just feel blessed. At the time, I just knew it was the best Celtics game I ever went to (just ahead of Game 1 of the 91 Playoff series against Indiana, when the Pacers were winning in the second half and you could hear Chuck Person talking trash to Larry Bird up in Section 99 - corner next to the organ where we usually got tickets - then Bird started talking and the Celtics took over in the 4th quarter behind Bird's triple double).
TP for the link and the memories.
