High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The 1988 NBA Playoffs was the postseason tournament of the National Basketball Association's 1987-1988 season. The tournament concluded with the Western Conference champion Los Angeles Lakers defeating the Eastern Conference champion Detroit Pistons four games to three in the Finals. The Lakers became the first team since the Boston Celtics in 1969 to repeat as champions, a feat that Lakers coach Pat Riley had guaranteed through the previous offseason. James Worthy of the Lakers was named NBA Finals MVP. This was the sixth and last championship of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's career; the following year, the Lakers would be swept by the Pistons in the finals and Abdul-Jabbar retired at the end of the season. This marked the first time since 1983 that the Boston Celtics did not represent the Eastern Conference in the NBA Finals. Although the Celtics did win the most memorable game of the 1988 playoffs, beating the Atlanta Hawks, 118-116, in game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semis at Boston Garden. Larry Bird scored 20 points in the fourth quarter to help the Celtics overcome the 47 points scored by Dominique Wilkins.
