CooperShowtime - Michael Cooper Highlights's video: Michael Cooper Starting at Forward to Avoid Playoffs Sweep vs Houston Highlights 1981 WCFR G2

April 3, 1981. Lakers lost the first game on a best of three, so they need to win this on Houston to force a final game on Los Angeles. Coach Westhead decided to start Michael Cooper on the forward position to play on a fast pace, give & go and more defense. It worked as Cooper finished the game with 17 points (6/11), 5 reb and 2 ast, and Lakers won although they couldn't close the series on LA. https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/198104030HOU.html Do you have any Showtime Lakers complete game that is not on YouTube already? Feel free to contact me, so I would be glad to edit it with Coop highlights and upload to the channel. http://coopershowtime.com https://twitter.com/coopershowtime About me: I'm just a dedicated Michael Cooper fan paying tribute to his legacy.
