This Day in NBA History (May 27)

1981: Julius Erving of the Philadelphia 76ers was named the NBA’s Most Valuable Player, making him the only player to win MVP honors in both the NBA and the ABA.

1982: The Los Angeles Lakers, despite an 11-day layoff between playoff series, beat Philadelphia 124-117 in Game 1 of the NBA Finals for their ninth consecutive victory, at the time an NBA record for consecutive wins during one postseason.

1985: Scott Wedman sank four three-point field goals without a miss and shot 11-for-11 overall from the field, both NBA Finals records, as Boston routed the Los Angeles Lakers 148-114 in Game 1. Boston’s 148 points and 62 field goals remain NBA Finals records.

1988: Red McCombs purchased the Spurs for $47 million, becoming the first principal owner of the franchise.

Can you tell me which day it was that the Celtics game back from down 21 points to beat the Nets for the greatest playoff comeback in NBA History? (It was 2002)
I could have sworn it was the 25th of May but I can't find it anywhere.
Thanks and If it isn't, why hasn't it been mentioned in your NBA history of the day threads?
It's history and it happened?
