3/3/1985 — on this day 39 years ago, Kevin McHale scored a Celtics franchise record 56 points (22/28 from the floor, 12/13 from the line) and grabbed 16 rebounds as the Celtics beat Detroit, 138-129, at The Boston Garden.
Larry Bird had a triple-double (30-10-15) and would go on to break McHale’s record nine days later.

McHale looked like Frankenstein, played like a cherub
Loved his up and under move.
