Description
June 3, 1988 - With just one half left in the 1988 Western Conference Finals, it was not outside the realm of possibility that we could have been looking at a Detroit Pistons-Dallas Mavericks battle for NBA supremacy. The Mavericks and Lakers had played one another to a virtual stalemate at intermission in a battle of dueling seven-man rotations before the Lakers opened things up in the second half, eventually grinding out a 117-102 conference-clinching victory.
The feature above was aired during halftime of the Detroit Pistons' Game 6 win over the Boston Celtics the day prior.
