OREM — In late November of 1988, Los Angeles Lakers head coach Pat Riley trademarked the phrase 'three-peat.' His 'Showtime' Lakers had won back-to-back titles and the expectation was that they would win a third.
The Lakers fell short of that goal, however, and lost to the Detroit Pistons in 1989.
Saturday night at Utah Valley University's UCCU Center, the Juab Wasps did what those Lakers could not — they three-peated.
