The UConn women broke UCLA men's streak of the most consecutive wins in a season.

Celtics v. Lakers

The 1980's were the glory days of the NBA and the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers were the two teams that elevated the play and excitement of the era.

Larry Bird and Magic Johnson were the superstars and were the feature players. Their rivalry started in the NCAA finals when Magic dazzled and Bird fizzled.  

On June 12, 1984, the Celtics won game seven, 111-102 with Cedric Maxwell leading the Celts in scoring with 24 points and a team leading 8 assists. Bird was MVP of the series.

Curse of the Bambino

In 2004, after the dramatic historic come from behind win against the Yankees, the Red Sox went on to the World Series and swept the Cardinals 4-0, to win the first title since 1918.

The World Series win broke the proverbial "Curse of the Bambino" which had been in place since the Red Sox sold Babe Ruth to the Yankees.

BC v. Miami

There could not have been a more unlikely superstar and there could not have been a bigger stage to pull off the most dramatic win when BC beat the defending National Champions.  Quarterback Doug Flutie put on the best show - maybe ever -- in college football.

Flutie threw for 474 yards and 4 touchdowns and the last TD was to Gerard Phelan on the final play - maybe the most exciting play ever in sports.

Final score: BC 47, University of Miami 45.

Patriots Beat New Orleans on Last Second TD; Red Sox Comeback from 5 Runs Down v. Tigers

New England sports fans enjoyed the most improbable double header comeback wins.

First, the Patriots upset the undefeated New Orleans Saints with a 70 yard last minute drive that saw the Patriots score with just 5 seconds to steal a 30-27 win. The Saints had numerous opportunities to put the game away.

Then, the Boston Red Sox in Game Two of the ALCS at home rallied from a 5 run deficit in the 6th inning and came back on a David Ortiz grand slam to tie and a 9th inning hit to win. The Red Sox had lost Game One of the series 1-0 and were on the verge in Game Two of losing any chance of winning the series.

Celtics Win 8th Straight, Red's Last Game, Russell First African American Head Coach

The win by the Boston Celtics over the Los Angeles Lakers in 1966 was a triple header for sports.

First, the 1966 Championship was the 8th straight and set a record never to be matched.

Second, it was the last game that Red Auerbach would ever coach.

Third, as Red stepped down, the enigmatic Bill Russell was named player coach - he was the first African American pro coach of the modern sports era. (Brown alum, Fritz Pollard coached pro football).
