It is seldom that any player - no matter how great - can single-handedly take over the fourth quarter of a backs-to-the-wall, hotly-contested NBA Finals game. Especially on the road and when seven of the 10 players on the floor are Hall of Famers, and the other three are All-Star caliber.
But that is what Larry Bird did in the fourth quarter of Game 4 in the storied 1985 NBA Finals showdown between arch-rivals Boston and Los Angeles.
After absorbing a 148-114 shellacking in Game 1 in Boston in the Memorial Day Massacre, the Lakers regrouped to win the next two games.
