NBA History: Henderson's Steal Saves the Celtics (451 words)
But Henderson, who had briefly left Scott open in order to double-team Johnson, raced back into the passing lane, picked off the pass and drove in for a game-tying layup.
Henderson's game-saving steal stunned the Lakers, to the point where Johnson let the final seconds of regulation tick away without getting a shot off.
The Celtics went on to win 124-121 in overtime, with Henderson setting up Scott Wedman for the key basket, and eventually won the series in seven games for their 15th NBA Championship.
