Bob Ryan's Top 10 games from the Celtics-Lakers rivalry

Game 4, 1987 -- Magic's 'junior, junior, junior skyhook' The Lakers are down 106-105 on their final possession of the game, but Magic Johnson (right) defies a triple-team from Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, and Robert Parish by floating a hook shot over The Chief and into the net. Bird gets one last shot to steal the win for the Celtics, but the ball rims out at the buzzer. Los Angeles goes on to win the series and its fourth title of the decade.
