You guys are mixing up some games here.
Game 4 of the 1984 NBA Finals in LA is when McHale clotheslined Rambis and Kareem elbowed Bird (reffs were Darrell Garretson and Jess Kersey)
Game 4 of the 1987 NBA Finals in Boston is when Magic made the baby hook across the lane over McHale and Bird missed the 3ptr at the buzzer in front of the Lakers bench (reffs were Earl Strom and Hugh Evans)
and all three Lakers/Celtics Finals in the 80s were physically brutal
