'Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty' called curtains on Season 1 and the HBO series dazzled just the way the pilot episode did. The finale titled 'Promised Land' saw the Los Angeles Lakers clinch the 1980 NBA Finals by pipping the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 6. It was a Magic Johnson (Quincy Johnson) special on that night after their captain Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was sidelined due to a devastating ankle injury in Game 5 — one of the best games of the series that saw him dunk down 40 points.

The finale had the show's fans raving on social media with the plaudits going to every corner. Just about everyone involved in the project received a shoutout on Twitter. There's more good news for those who enjoyed Season 1. There will be a Season 2 of 'Winning Time'. Here are some of the reactions post the scintillating finale.
