June 8, 1989 - Mired in first-half foul trouble, Detroit Pistons point guard Isiah Thomas bounced back to score 19 of his 21 points in the second half to clinch a 108-105 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 2 of the 1989 NBA Finals. Thomas also chipped in seven assists and one gash over his left eye (3:25), resulting in a blood soaked jersey for the duration of the fourth quarter. The Pistons would go on to sweep the Lakers in four games to earn their first NBA championship in franchise history. Box Score: [ Ссылка ]
