April 20, 1986
On this day, Michael Jordan came, he scored but he did not conquer. This Bull's point guard scored a play-off record of 63 points, 2 more than a mark set by Elgin Baylor of the L.A. Lakers on April 14, 1962, against the Celtics in the championship series. Jordan, who played 53 of the 58 minutes of the double-overtime game, hit 19 of 21 attempts from the line in which both teams accumulated a total of 66 fouls.
Jordan would wait 5 more years before carrying the Bulls to the N.B.A. title. The Celtics won 135 - 131.
