Answer
Tom,

since you are asking this question a Boston Celtics expert, I assume you are trying to find out the top five single game scoring performances in Boston Celtics history, so here we go:

Regular Season

1. Larry Bird 60 pts on March 12, 1985;
2. Kevin McHale 56 pts on March 3, 1985;
3. Larry Bird 53 pts on March 30, 1983;
4. Sam Jones 51 pts on October 29, 1965;
5. Larry Bird 50 pts on March 10, 1986 and November 10, 1989;
5. Paul Pierce 50 pts on February 16, 2006.


Playoffs

1. John Havlicek 54 pts on April 1, 1973;
2. Sam Jones 51 pts on March 28, 1967;
3. Bob Cousy 50 pts on March 21, 1953;
4. Sam Jones 47 pts on April 10, 1963;
5. Paul Pierce 46 pts on May 3, 2002.
