1988 NBA Finals: Pistons at Lakers, Gm 1 part 1/12

Game 1 - Pistons 105, Lakers 93
The Pistons stunned the Lakers by scoring the games' first 8 points. Detroit seemingly put the game away, outscoring the Lakers 35-19 in the second quarter, including back-to-back 3-pointers by Bill Laimbeer and Isiah Thomas to end the half and give the Pistons a 17-point advantage. Adrian Dantley took care of the rest, scoring 22 of his game-high 34 points in the second half. Dantley was 14-of-16 from the field and 6-of-7 from the line. It was the Lakers' first loss in an opener at the Forum since May 1985. The Pistons shot 57.5 percent from the field while holding the Lakers to under 40 percent from the field. Magic Johnson led the Lakers with 28 points, 10 assists and 8 rebounds.

Such irony that the SAME thing happened in their other Finals meeting that began in LA...Pistons smothered the Lakers in 2004 and setting the tone for that series. Difference is, THIS Lakers team was unified and playing for history. They needed everything to hold off a GREAT Pistons team.
