1987–88 Los Angeles Lakers season The 1987–88 season saw the Lakers win their eleventh NBA championship , defeating the Detroit Pistons in a hard-fought seven games in the NBA Finals to become the NBA’s first repeat champions since the Boston Celtics did it in the 1968–69 NBA season . In doing so, the Lakers made good on Pat Riley's famous promise to repeat as champions. “I'm guaranteeing everybody here,” Riley said at the civic celebrations following the Lakers’ 1987 championship win , “next year we’re gonna win it again.” Before the Lakers could make good on Riley's guarantee , they swept the San Antonio Spurs in the opening round of the playoffs. The following two rounds however would not be as easy for the Lakers, but they still managed to get through a tough seven-game series against both the Utah Jazz in the Western Conference Semis and the Dallas Mavericks Western Conference Finals . By the time the Lakers had finished their season they had played an NBA record 106 games including another record 24 playoff games , winning 77 and losing 29. The Lakers went 62–20 in the regular season and 15–9 in the playoffs. The 1988 Finals was the last time the Showtime-era Lakers won an NBA championship. It was also the final time that the franchise won a championship at The Forum . They did not win another league title until 2000 , when they were playing at the Staples Center .Magic Johnson , James Worthy and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar were all selected to play in the 1988 NBA All-Star Game held in Chicago . Pat Riley was chosen to coach the Western Conference All-Stars.Draft picks Roster Regular season Season standings Record vs. opponents Game log Playoffs West First Round Los Angeles Lakers vs. San Antonio Spurs: Lakers win series 3–0 Game 1 @ The Forum, Los Angeles : Los Angeles 122 , San Antonio 110Game 2 @ The Forum, Los Angeles : Los Angeles 130 , San Antonio 112Game 3 @ HemisFair Arena , San Antonio : Los Angeles 109 , San Antonio 107Last Playoff Meeting : 1986 Western Conference First Round West Conference Semifinals Los Angeles Lakers vs. Utah Jazz: Lakers win series 4–3 Game 1 @ The Forum, Los Angeles : Los Angeles 110 , Utah 91Game 2 @ The Forum, Los Angeles : Utah 101 , Los Angeles 97Game 3 @ Salt Palace , Salt Lake City : Utah 96 , Los Angeles 89Game 4 @ Salt Palace, Salt Lake City : Los Angeles 113 , Utah 100Game 5 @ The Forum, Los Angeles : Los Angeles 111 , Utah 109Game 6 @ Salt Palace, Salt Lake City : Utah 108 , Los Angeles 80Game 7 @ The Forum, Los Angeles : Los Angeles 109 , Utah 98Last Playoff Meeting : Not availableLos Angeles Lakers vs. Dallas Mavericks: Lakers win series 4–3 Game 1 @ The Forum, Los Angeles : Los Angeles 113 , Dallas 98Game 2 @ The Forum, Los Angeles : Los Angeles 123 , Dallas 101Game 3 @ Reunion Arena , Dallas : Dallas 106 , Los Angeles 94Game 4 @ Reunion Arena, Dallas : Dallas 118 , Los Angeles 104Game 5 @ The Forum, Los Angeles : Los Angeles 119 , Dallas 102Game 6 @ Reunion Arena, Dallas : Dallas 105 , Los Angeles 103Game 7 @ The Forum, Los Angeles : Los Angeles 117 , Dallas 102Last Playoff Meeting : 1986 Western Conference Semifinals NBA Finals Los Angeles Lakers vs. Detroit Pistons: Lakers win series 4–3 Game 1 @ The Forum, Los Angeles : Detroit 105 , Los Angeles 93Game 2 @ The Forum, Los Angeles : Los Angeles 108 , Detroit 96Game 3 @ Pontiac Silverdome , Pontiac : Los Angeles 99 , Detroit 86Game 4 @ Pontiac Silverdome, Pontiac : Detroit 111 , Los Angeles 86Game 5 @ Pontiac Silverdome, Pontiac : Detroit 104 , Los Angeles 94Game 6 @ The Forum, Los Angeles : Los Angeles 103 , Detroit 102Game 7 @ The Forum, Los Angeles : Los Angeles 108 , Detroit 105Last Playoff Meeting : 1962 Western Division Finals Player statistics Season Playoffs Awards and records Awards Trades Free Agents Additions Subtractions
