Game 7: A Classic
Game 7 of the series was a classic, with the two teams trading baskets throughout the game. In the end, the Cavaliers would prevail by a score of 122-104. The game was highlighted by a number of memorable moments, including a game-winning shot by Mark Price.
The Celtics were led by Larry Bird, who scored 26 points and grabbed 12 rebounds. However, it was not enough to overcome the Cavaliers, who were led by Price's 32 points.
