Magic Johnson Recalls Pat Riley’s “Memorial Day Massacre” Film Session

Johnson recalled Riley’s “Memorial Day Massacre” film session after Boston’s 48-point blowout. “That was the maddest he’s ever been, and I can’t say all the words,” he said, describing a four-hour teardown that started with Kareem. Next practice, Riley banned whistles and told reserves to hit. He said it turned the series around. Kareem answered with 38 in Game 2.
