@nick's rating of Bulls vs Celtics
@nick rated the Bulls vs Celtics game 9.5 out of 10 in NBA on April 21, 1986. Final score: Bulls 131 – Celtics 135. First Round. Fan ratings and discussion on RateGame.
“While I respect the point total and it's place in NBA History as well as the fact that this Celtics team was a bunch of World Beaters, I cannot give this a 10 because the Bulls didn't win. Not only that but Jordan himself said the points meant nothing because the result was a loss. He's right. The ultimate competitor would end up getting swept by this Celtics team who would eventually go on to win the Championship. But 63 points still being the all time single game playoff record is awesome. I hope it stays that way for a long time. This was the first time that Jordan's lore went beyond the regular season and as we know it was certainly not the last.”
