Larry Bird: Left-Handed Game

Furthermore, Bird hit the game-tying shot to send the game to overtime, and then made the game-winning shot in overtime.

The night before, the Celtics had played the Seattle Supersonics, and Bird recorded 35 points, 15 rebounds, and 11 assists so this was his second consecutive triple-double in just as many nights.

Bird was truly in his prime during this time. You can watch his 47 point game against Portland below.
