With the game tied at 113-113 and 16 seconds remaining, the Lakers seemed set to take a 3-1 lead as they had the ball. But then, Robert Parish made a big play. Magic Johnson's pass to James Worthy was stolen by Parish with 5 seconds remaining and the game would go to Overtime.
In OT, Magic and Worthy combined to go 1-4 from the FT line in the last minute but the Lakers still had a chance down 3 with 10 seconds remaining. However, as Worthy inbounded the ball, M.L.Carr intercepted it and sealed the win with a dunk.
This series led to Magic being given the nickname "Tragic Johnson" for his late blunders including another in Game 7. With the Lakers down 3 in the last minute, he turned the ball over and the Lakers lost the game 111-102
