Offseason

NBA Draft

The 1985 NBA Draft took place on June 18, 1985. It was also the first NBA Draft of the "Lottery" era. The lottery was put into place so teams did not have to intentionally lose games to receive the number one pick.

Playoffs

* The Celtics steamrolled through the Eastern Conference Playoffs, sweeping the Chicago Bulls 3-0 in the first round. The highlight of the first round was the second game which went into double-overtime. Matched up against a superior Celtics team, Michael Jordan exploded for 63 points at the Boston Garden and nearly lead his team to a stunning upset. The Celtics won the game 135-131, and won the series two days later in Chicago.

* Boston proceeded by besting the young Atlanta Hawks four games to one in the semifinals. The series was highlighted by a game 5 blow-out. The final score was 132-99, and featured the Celtics hammering the Hawks in the third quarter by a score of 36-6.

* The Eastern Conference Finals matched the Celtics up against the Milwaukee Bucks and head coach Don Nelson. Nelson was a former Celtic player who enraged the Celtics in the 1983 NBA Playoffs by accusing Celtic guard Danny Ainge of "dirty" play. The Celtics ended up sweeping the Bucks. The Bucks and the Celtics had met in the Playoffs three times during the previous four years (1983, 1984, 1986 and 1987).

NBA Finals

"Boston beats Houston 4-2"

Following the conclusion of the 1986 NBA Finals, a video documentary of the 1986 NBA season, known as "Sweet Sixteen", was released. David Perry was the narrator after Dick Stockton narrated the last three NBA season documentaries.
