Henderson Makes Memorable Play In Celtics Win Over Lakers
Celtics guard Michael Henderson recalled the key sequence as Boston knocked off Los Angeles. McHale missed two late free throws after being fouled by Bob McAdoo, Worthy failed to seal the win with a risky cross court pass, and the Celtics capitalized as Henderson’s defensive effort and a forced steal defined the late air. Henderson, a Virginia Commonwealth product, had climbed from the CBA to become a Celtics starter this season.
