'Winning Time' may be over, but in real life, the 1984 loss was hardly the end of the Los Angeles Lakers Dynasty and the “Showtime” era.
Anyone watching HBO’s Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty that wasn’t familiar with the true story that the series was based upon likely spent the last few moments of last night’s Season 2 finale "What Is and What Should Never Be" scratching their heads.
While it may not be the most uplifting ending for those who had invested in the show’s heroic depiction of the Lakers, Winning Time’s Season 2 finale can only be faithful to history. After each team had earned three victories ahead of a final match, the Celtics’ increasingly brutal tactics on the court led the team to snatch the championship at the last moment.
The title cards that play after Winning Time’s finale tease what would have been in store for the show’s characters if the series had continued.
