""Magic Johnson backs down Drexler... behind-the-back pass! Worthy catches, goes up quickly for the layup and scores! Worthy hits the Lakers' second bucket!"
After the timeout, on their first offense back, the Lakers scored following Johnson's plan, executing their most familiar combination of plays.
Johnson, with the ball, backs down Drexler from the left side beyond the three-point line, pushing inside, with the Trail Blazers' attention all on the Magician.
Jabbar comes out to set a screen, James Worthy suddenly cuts to the basket, man and ball arrive simultaneously, he catches and goes straight up for the layup and scores.
It wasn't just this play, soon, the Trail Blazers' defense was tested by the Magician's big butt.
As soon as there was a slack in the Trail Blazers' defensive line, if a Lakers teammate found the opportunity to move, the Magician's passes would get there right away.
