Give Carlesimo credit for at least figuring out a halfway decent game plan: pound it in down low against the weak Suns interior defense with whatever you've got, get a lot of offensive rebounds, draw fouls when possible. It kept the game close and I was worried well into the fourth quarter that the Suns were going to find a way to lose to one of the worst teams in the league. May have too, had the Sonics had more effective interior scoring. See Duncan, Tim.

Plus, Kevin Harlan could find a way to broadcast going to the bathroom in the morning into a dramatic event. OH! HE DROPS A DEUCE RIGHT IN THE CENTER OF THE BOWL. No lack of enthusiasm coming from that guy.
