BIZARRE: On this day 2nd lowest score in boston s history larry bird antoine walker triple double - You Need To See This

The ignominious honor came on the road in a 62-44 loss to the New York Knicks, the Celtics’ 14th loss of a very rough inaugural campaign for the franchise.

Mercifully for the Boston fans of that era, it was not an auspicious beginning for the team that would later win an NBA-record 17 titles.
