After a road loss in Game 5 of the 1986 NBA Finals, the Celtics did not want to give the Houston Rockets another chance. Coach K.C. Jones looked on as Boston vanquished the “Twin Towers” of the Rockets in Game 6 at home, 114-97. The 1985-86 Celtics are recognized today as one of the best teams in NBA history, losing only once at Boston Garden all season – including the playoffs – which set a still-standing record for home dominance. Said Jones, who won eight NBA World Championship titles as a player and four more as a coach, “I would have to say this is the greatest team ever assembled. Not only does it have great chemistry but they are the most intense and determined team I have ever been associated with.”
