1986 Western Conference Finals: Game 5
Sampson's game winner
Rockets vs Los Angeles
114 - 112
21 May, 1986
Houston was a huge underdog against the defending champs, but Los Angeles was only able to get a win in one game against Houston. Los Angeles put up a strong effort in a high scoring Game 5 and had the score tied at 112 with only a second left on the clock. That's when Ralph Sampson stunned them with a jumper off an inbound pass from Rodney McCray with no time left on the clock. The shot sent Los Angeles home and sent Houston to the NBA Finals.

This mug is such a fun gift for someone who loves the game. They will enjoy remembering the game winning goal every time they use it! It’s a very personalized gift without a ton of headache. Highly recommend!
5 stars an amazing treasure
This Padres win was so fun! And this is a nice mug with the scorebook final play of this NLDS series win. However the win by striking out the last Dodger in the top of the 9th inning did not make for an exciting playbook mug. Would’ve been better to have the Padres tying run or go ahead run in the bottom of the 7th! Or was it the 8th… I would remember which inning if I had it preserved on my coffee mug!
An amazing little gift that brings a smile to the recipient every time he uses it. Best night of Cubs' fans lives!
