In 1991, it appeared that the sun was slowly setting on the Los Angeles Lakers’ dynasty.
Under new head coach Mike Dunleavy that season, they did well to win 58 games, but they were older and not quite as dominant as they had been a few years earlier.
Critics and fans complained that Dunleavy had effectively turned Showtime into “slowtime” as L.A. became mostly a deliberate halfcourt team.
