Showtime Lakers series cut short, leaving fans wanting more of the dynasty story

HBO's "Winning Time" docudrama about the Showtime Lakers was canceled after two seasons, despite filming an alternate ending.
The show covered the 1981-1984 seasons but there are seven more years of the dynasty still to portray.
Factors like the SAG-AFTRA strike, decreased viewership, and inability to promote due to the strike contributed to the cancellation.
The show's co-creator remains hopeful it could be picked up by another network or streaming service to continue the story.
Fans are disappointed the cancellation leaves the Showtime Lakers story incomplete.
