Due to degradation on physical media, I am only able to recover the first 2/3 of the game. Full copies may exist.

Great to watch the game with original commentary. Familiar names on the floor for both teams. Wish the second half was here, too. Watching ☘️ Larry Legend move without the ball is a highlight in itself.

When it comes to the 80's - something that I don't think people remember is that Milwaukee moved from the Midwest Division in the Western Conference to the Central Division and the Eastern Conference in 79/80. It's a sneaky big thing cause though the Lakers would have still dominated the decade - if Milwaukee was still in the west they may have been able to challenge the Lakers years after year opposed to the random Suns Nuggets Spurs Mavericks Rockets year after year. Other than the Celtics and Sixers the Lakers had no rival in the west in the 80's. The Bucks could have been that team to compete with showtime in the 80's.
