About this title

From Library Journal:

Two writers covering the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Boston Celtics join in a close look at the teams' 1987 Boston Garden game. Like Daniel Okrent in his Nine Innings ( LJ 4/1/85), the authors give a detailed play-by-play account. They blend quotes from players, coaches, and others with their own appraisals in background, play critique, etc. Not until the tense final seconds of regulation and an overtime is there a winner between the underdog Cavs and the proud Celts. Educational for developing players and fun for fans, this may be welcome in public and school libraries. Morey Berger, Monmouth Cty. Lib., Manalapan, N.J.
