Video: Reggie Lewis' 36 points lead Celtics past Cavs on this date during the 1992 playoffs

On this date in 1992, Reggie Lewis scored 36 points as the Celtics defeated the Cavs in Game 3 of their Eastern Conference semifinals playoff series. Lewis would add 7 assists, which at the time put him in very rare company as only Larry Bird and John Havlicek had ever accomplished that feat prior. Lewis would end up averaging 28.1 point per game for the 7 game series, which the Celtics unfortunately lost to the Cavs.

The Cavs had some really solid teams back at that time. There was just too much competition in the Eastern Conference during that period.
