Jerry West canned a 22-footer
from behind a Wilt Chamber
lain pick with 27 seconds left
and that made the score 133-130
for the Lakers.
After a Jabbar jump shot five

drove the baseline for a layup
with six seconds remaining to
put Los Angeles in front 135-
132. Jabbar had another jumper
with two seconds to go.
West finished with 28 points.
He was 10 for 30 from the field,
