May 2, 1985: Detroit defeats Boston, 125-117, in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Isiah Thomas had 26 PTS/16 AST and Bill Laimbeer had 27 PTS/13 REB for the Pistons. Dennis Johnson scored 27 PTS and Larry Bird had 25 PTS/13 REB for the Celtics, who hold a 2-1 series lead.
Haven't seen footage from this one out here on YouTube very often, so thought I'd put this up. Also thought @Swove2204 might like seeing the brief Parish-Laimbeer exchange...
