The Celtics entered the season as the defending NBA Champions, coming off an NBA Finals victory over the Los Angeles Lakers in seven games, and increasing their NBA Finals victories over the Lakers to 8. On March 3, 1985, Kevin McHale surpassed Larry Bird's Celtics single game scoring record when he netted 56 points against the Detroit Pistons.Cp9rjNgN0mY March 3, 1985 Pistons@Celtics Less than two weeks later, on March 12, Bird answered, scoring a career-high 60 points against the Atlanta Hawks. In the playoffs, the Celtics defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers in the First Round in four games, the Detroit Pistons in the Semi-finals in six games, and the Philadelphia 76ers in the conference finals in five games to advance to the NBA Finals. In the Finals, they faced off against the Los Angeles Lakers, the team who they beat in last season's NBA Finals in seven games, and have beaten a total of 8 consecutive times in their NBA Finals matchups. However, the Celtics were defeated in six games by the Lakers, marking the first time the Celtics were defeated by the Lakers in the NBA Finals. This also marked the first time the Celtics lost the NBA Finals at home. Trivia A majority of this team moved onto coaching later in their careers. Kevin McHale, Rick Carlisle, Larry Bird, Danny Ainge, Dennis Johnson, and Sam Vincent have all coached in the NBA.http://myespn.go.com/blogs/truehoop/0-38-5/Friday-Bullets.htmlFebruary 2019 InternetArchiveBot yes http://dimemag.com/2009/01/the-1985-86-celtics-bred-coaches/ DimeMag November 8, 2024 Draft picks 1984 NBA draft Round Pick Player Position Nationality College 1 24 Michael Young SF/SG United States Houston 2 47 Ronnie Williams United States Florida 3 70 Rick Carlisle G United States Virginia 4 93 Kevin Mullin United States Princeton 5 116 Todd Orlando United States Bentley 6 139 Steve Carfino G United States Iowa 7 162 Mark Van Valkenburg United States Framingham State 8 184 Champ Godboldt United States Holy Cross 9 206 Joe Dixon United States Merrimack 10 228 Dan Trant United States Clark Roster Boston Celtics 1984–85 #008040 white #efe196 #000000 44 Danny Ainge G/F 6 4 175 Brigham Young University 33 Larry Bird F 6 9 220 Indiana State University 28 Quinn Buckner G 6 3 190 Indiana University 34 Rick Carlisle G 6 5 210 University of Virginia 30 M.L.
