“Back 2 Back” – Los Angeles Lakers 1988 NBA Championship. #basketball #nba #lakers #magicjohnson
In the 1988 NBA Finals, the Los Angeles Lakers faced the rising bad boys of Detroit. After a grueling seven-game series, the Lakers repeated as champions, the first team to do so in 19 years. Isaiah Thomas delivered one of the most iconic finals performances ever, scoring 25 points in the third quarter of game six despite a badly sprained ankle. But the Lakers edged out that game 103 102. In game seven with Thomas Hobble, the Lakers surged behind James Worthy who dropped a legendary triple double, 36 points, 16 rebounds, and 10 assists, earning finals MVP honors. It was LA’s 11th title, and their first ever game seven finals win since moving to Los Angeles. Pat Riley’s bold repeat guarantee came true as the Lakers solidified their legacy as the team of the decade. [Applause] Back to back. Yeah. Yeah.
