Game 7, 1984 -- 'Climb onto my back, boys'
Cedric Maxwell gives that command and the Celtics comply. Maxwell is a force on the offensive boards and goes for 24 points, eight assists, and eight rebounds. The Lakers charge back to within three with about a minute to go, but Maxwell makes a key defensive play by knocking a Magic Johnson pass into Celtics possession. Boston goes on to win, 111-102, for their 15th championship.
