head coach 's most famous moments came when he promised the crowd a repeat championship during the Lakers'
championship parade in downtown Los Angeles. With every team in the league now gunning for them, the Los Angeles Lakers still found a way to win, taking their seventh consecutive Pacific Division title. While the 1988 Lakers did not produce as many wins in the regular season as the 1987 Lakers, they were just as successful in the playoffs, becoming the first team in 19 years to repeat as champions. The Lakers met the physical
in the 1988 NBA Finals.
One of Pistons guard ' career-defining performances came in Game 6. Despite badly twisting his ankle midway through the period, Thomas scored a still-NBA Finals record 25 third quarter points, as Detroit fell valiantly, 103-102, to the Lakers at the Forum.
Thomas still managed to score 10 first-half points in Game 7, as Detroit built a 5-point lead. In the 3rd quarter, the Lakers, inspired by Finals MVP
(14 3rd quarter points), exploded as they built a 10-point lead entering the final period. The lead swelled to 15 before Detroit mounted a furious 4th-quarter rally, trimming the lead to 2-points on several occasions. Still, several Detroit miscues enabled the Lakers to win with a 108-105 victory.

This game turned out to be a classic confrontation between a team hungry for their first title (Detroit) and a veteran team on a mission with their backs to the wall (the Lakers).
The Lakers led 56-48 in the third quarter when
suddenly began a classic performance. He scored his team's next 14 points, hitting two free throws, a driving layup, four jump shots, and a running bank shot.
With a little less than 5 minutes left in the period and the score 70-64, Lakers, Thomas rolled his right ankle while passing off to
for a basket. Thomas tried to run upcourt, but collapsed while the Lakers scored again. Despite a severe sprain, Thomas returned to the game with 3:44 left and the Lakers up 74-66. Thomas, with his bad ankle, scored 11 of the Pistons' last 15 points of the quarter to finish with 25, an NBA Finals record for one quarter, on 11-of-13 shooting. Even better, the Pistons outscored the Lakers 15-5 to take an 81-79 lead.
The fourth quarter was nip-and- with 1:17 left, Thomas, sore ankle and all, hit a baseline jumper for his 42nd and 43rd points to give the Pistons a 100-99 lead. The Lakers came down and
got the ball inside to , but his layup attempt was blocked by .
penetrated inside on the ensuing possession, was fouled, and hit the two free throws for a three-point lead at 102-99 with a minute left.
The Lakers called timeout, and on the next possession,
pump-faked Dumars at the top of the key and hit a 14-footer to cut the lead to one with 45 seconds left. Thomas then missed another baseline jumper and Worthy rebounded with 27 seconds remaining. The Lakers then set up and Scott got it to , who was fouled by
(his sixth) as he wheeled for a skyhook on the right baseline. Many refer to this as a "phantom foul," as Laimbeer appeared to make no illegal contact. Abdul-Jabbar hit the two free throws for a 103-102 lead with 14 seconds left.
After a time out, the Pistons set up for a final shot. Thomas stumbled over Rodman after inbounding the ball, and Dumars put up a wild shot that missed badly. After a mad scramble, Scott came up with the ball for the Lakers and was shoved out of bounds by Rodman, inciting a near-fight. After control was maintained, Scott missed the two foul shots, but it hardly mattered as the Pistons missed from halfcourt at the buzzer.
Thomas would end up with 43 points and eight assists in a heroic performance.

This was the first Game 7 since the NBA adopted the 2-3-2 format in
and first overall since .
In the final game, Thomas' ankle was still sore, as evidenced by his limping badly in warm-ups. He did manage to play the first half, scoring 10 points and leading the Pistons to a 52-47 halftime lead. But, the delay between halves caused the ankle to stiffen, and Thomas played little in the second half. With Isiah on the bench, the Lakers turned the halftime deficit into a 90-75 lead early in the 4th quarter. A key factor was L he had been mired in a terrible shooting slump all series, but suddenly caught fire, hitting three 3-point baskets.
then went to a faster lineup with , , , and
that created matchup problems for the Lakers and enabled the Pistons to score at a torrid pace. With 3:54 left, Salley canned two free throws to cut the Laker lead to 98-92, sending the
fans into a panic[].
With 1:17 left, Dumars hit a jump shot to cut the lead to 102-100.
then hit a free throw after a Rodman foul to put the Lakers up by three. After the two teams exchanged turnovers, Rodman took an ill-advised jumper with 40 seconds left.
rebounded and was fouled. His two free throws pushed the lead to 105-100. After another Pistons' turnover,
had a chance to essentially clinch the victory after being fouled, but he missed both free throws, and the Lakers' lead remained at five.
After Dumars made a layup,
hit a free throw and
canned a 28-foot three-pointer, pushing the score to 106-105 with six seconds showing.
completed the scoring with a layup off a length-of-the court pass from Magic, making it 108-105. Laimbeer made a long desperate pass to Thomas who caught the ball trying to shoot a three to send the game to overtime, but Thomas was knocked to the floor and lost the ball and time ran out. Fans were already beginning to storm onto the floor even though time had not expired, but the officials ignored this.
and the Laker players hurried back to their dressing room as the players and coaches on both teams were pummeled by the storming fans.
Worthy racked up a monster : 36 points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists. It would prove to be the only triple-double in Worthy's Hall of Fame career. For that and his earlier efforts in the series, he was named the Finals MVP, cementing his nickname "Big Game James".

The Wizards host the Lakers on Thursday, and Wall had 18 points and nine assists in 41 minutes in an overtime loss at Los Angeles on Oct. 25.
- Wall will play in Tuesday's game against Dallas after not playing Sunday at Toronto due to a sprained left shoulder suffered Friday's contest against the Cavs.Analysis: Coach Scott Brooks has said there was ''nothing of long-term concern'' with Wall's shoulder. Wall has struggled somewhat with his shooting of late, and this could be the reason. He missed 7 of 12 free throw attempts on Friday and went 4 for 13 from the field.

He added one block and one steal.Analysis: Wizards coach Scott Brooks said afterward that Wall sprained his left shoulder during the game and will undergo X-rays. The injury could explain the All-Star point guard's wretched shooting performance, which included missing 7 of 12 free throw attempts. Owners will need to monitor the situation, as there's a chance he sits out Sunday's visit to Toronto.
