In Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Pistons, with five seconds remaining in the fourth quarter and Boston trailing the Pistons 107–106, Bird stole an inbound pass.

The dramatic play saved the series for the Celtics. When they reached the NBA Finals, the Celtics lost to a dominant Lakers team that had won 65 games during the season.

Between them, Bird and Johnson captured eight NBA championships during the 1980s, with Magic getting five and Bird three. During the 1980s, either Boston or Los Angeles appeared in every NBA Finals.<a href="#cite_note-65">[65]</a> Throughout the 1980s, contests between the Celtics and the Lakers—both during the regular season and in the Finals—attracted enormous television audiences. The first regular-season game between the Celtics and the Lakers in the 1987–88 season proved to be a classic with <a href="/wiki/Magic_Johnson" title="Magic Johnson">Magic Johnson</a> banking in an off-balance shot from near the three-point line at the buzzer for a narrow 115–114 Lakers victory at <a href="/wiki/Boston_Garden" title="Boston Garden">Boston Garden</a>.<a href="#cite_note-66">[66]</a> The historical rift between the teams, which faced each other several times in championship series of the 1960s, fueled fan interest in the rivalry. The apparent contrast between the two players and their respective teams seemed scripted for television, as they were polar opposites in nearly every way conceivable. Bird was White, Johnson was Black; Bird was an introvert from a small town playing in blue-collar Boston, while Johnson was the gregarious personification of the glitz and glamour of Los Angeles; Bird's Celtics played gritty, physical, defence-first basketball, whereas Johnson ran the Lakers' fast-paced <a href="/wiki/Showtime_(basketball)" title="Showtime (basketball)">Showtime offense</a>. A 1980s <a href="/wiki/Converse_(shoe_company)" class="mw-redirect" title="Converse (shoe company)">Converse</a> commercial for its "Weapon" line of basketball shoes (endorsed by both Bird and Johnson) reflected the perceived dichotomy between the two players. In the commercial, Bird is practicing alone on a rural basketball court (in reality the court was one Bird had made on the property in French Lick that he had purchased for his mother), when Johnson pulls up in a sleek <a href="/wiki/Limousine" title="Limousine">limousine</a> and challenges him to a one-on-one match.<a href="#cite_note-67">[67]</a> Despite the intensity of their rivalry, Bird and Johnson became friends off the court. Their friendship blossomed when the two players worked together to film the Converse commercial, which depicted them as archenemies. Johnson appeared at Bird's retirement ceremony on February 4, 1993, and emotionally described Bird as a "friend forever."<a href="#cite_note-68">[68]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Late_career_(1988–1992)">Late career (1988–1992)</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Larry_Bird&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Late career (1988–1992)">edit</a>]</div> The 1987–88 season was the highest-scoring season of Bird's career. In Game 7 of the 1988 Eastern Conference Semifinals against the <a href="/wiki/Atlanta_Hawks" title="Atlanta Hawks">Atlanta Hawks</a>, Bird shot 9-of-10 from the floor in the fourth quarter, scoring 20 points in that quarter and lifting the Celtics to a series-clinching victory.<a href="#cite_note-69">[69]</a><a href="#cite_note-70">[70]</a><a href="#cite_note-71">[71]</a> Bird finished with 34 points.

The Celtics failed to reach the NBA Finals for the first time in five years, losing to the Pistons in six games during the Eastern Conference Finals. Bird's <a href="/wiki/1988%E2%80%9389_NBA_season" title="1988–89 NBA season">1988–89 season</a> ended after six games when he had bone spurs surgically removed from both of his heels.<a href="#cite_note-73">[73]</a> Bird returned to the Celtics in 1989, but debilitating back problems and an aging Celtic roster prevented him from regaining his prime form. Nonetheless, during the final years of his career, Bird maintained his status as one of the premier players in the game. In his final three seasons with the Celtics, Bird averaged over 20 points, nine rebounds, and seven assists per game, shot better than 45% from the field, and led the Celtics to playoff appearances. After leading the Celtics to a 29–5 start to the <a href="/wiki/1990%E2%80%9391_NBA_season" title="1990–91 NBA season">1990–91 season</a>, Bird missed 22 games due to a compressed nerve root in his back, a condition that eventually led to his retirement.
