20 years ago, on 4/28/1990, the Boston Celtics destroyed the NY Knicks 157-128 to take a 2-0 lead in the 1st round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. The 157 pts scored by the Celtics is an NBA record. Kevin Gamble was in during garbage time and hit an 18 foot buzzer beater to the end the game. That last bucket broke the old record set by the Milwaukee Bucks on March 30, 1970 when they scored 156 pts vs the Philly 76ers.

The Knicks loss to the Celtics was their 26th consecutive loss (18 reg season and 8 playoff) to them in the Boston Garden. Miraculously, the Knicks would do the impossible by winning the next 3 games to take the series 3-2!

Here's a video of the final minutes of the game and post game interviews.
