one more than the record for the lowest scoring quarter in playoff history. Worthy would finish with 22 points, and Mychal Thompson had 16 points and 10 rebounds off the bench, but the play of the Lakers' two superstars, Magic and Kareem, would be the dagger that finished off the Celtics. Magic recovered from his cold first half to post 16 points, 19 assists, and eight rebounds, and Kareem would pump in a team-high 32 points. "Magic is a great, great basketball player," Bird stated flatly, settling the issue for the moment. "The best I've ever seen." Indeed, Magic would gain the NBA Finals MVP award and his fourth championship ring. For the Lakers, this would be their last NBA Finals series triumph over the Celtics until 2010.
