What a night.
Obviously it was the 4th quarter not the third like I posted above but I remember the skyhook from the right corner about 12 to 14 feet out. The date was April 5th 1984. (Wikipedia has it posted as April 24th.) but that is impossible because the regular season ended on April 15th 1984 for the Lakers that year.
Wikipedia:
Among them were his record sixth MVP award in 1980, four more All-NBA First Team designations, two more All-Defense First Team designations, the 1985 Finals MVP, and on April 24, 1984 he broke Wilt Chamberlain's record for career points.
Should be April 5th. 1984.
