Magic Johnson had a chance to turn the game around.
But in the final defense, Drexler did an excellent job, closely blocking Johnson's shooting space.
When Johnson tried to cut into the middle with a hook shot to end the game, Gan Guoyang's help defense caused his hook to miss.
Then Jabbar's follow-up shot was disrupted by Thompson, and Jerome Kossie rushed to the basket, boxed out Worthy, and grabbed the rebound, securing the victory for his team.
122:121, the first battle of the season between the Trail Blazers and the Lakers, ended with the Trail Blazers' last-minute comeback victory.
Gan Guoyang scored 46 points tonight, grabbed 18 rebounds, and dished out 7 assists, including a critical three-point assist.
The Lakers players walked off the court with their heads down, dejected, while the Trail Blazers players came forward to high-five Gan Guoyang. Fans in the Great Western Forum started to leave, another bad night for them.
