A bit of history made in this game. Late in the 2nd Quarter Kareem Abdul-Jabbar makes the only 3-point field goal of his career. He was 0-13 in his career prior to that shot. The Lakers conclude an unbeaten road trip ( 4-0 ) with a 97-93 win. Magic Johnson doesn’t play in this game. Michael Cooper and Byron Scott pick up the slack 21 points apiece.Kareem ends up with 19 points and 9 rebounds. For Phoenix Larry Nance has a nice game with 22 points and 9 rebounds. Ed Pickney adds 15.
