1988 NBA Finals: Lakers at Pistons, Gm 4 part 12/12

Game 4 - Pistons 111, Lakers 86

The Pistons ramped up their defense in the second half, holding the Lakers to 32 points on 8-of-32 from the field. Adrian Dantley led the Pistons with a game-high 27 points and the Detroit bench had 47, including 16 by Vinnie Johnson. It was the largest margin of victory in an NBA Finals game since the Lakers beat the Celtics 136-111 in Game 3 in 1985. With about seven minutes remaining, things got a little tense when a frustrated Magic Johnson hit his best friend, Isiah Thomas, with a forearm to the jaw. Johnson finished with a team-high 23 points.
