The Sonics did miss a lot of wide open jumpers, but then again, the
Celtics kept them from scoring inside, defended the 3 well, and gobbled
up all the misses, so I think the Celtics would have beaten the Sonics
no matter what the circumstances of Seattle's arrival, it just might not
have been such a blowout if Seattle had had better travel fortunes.

The report I heard on Fox said Seattle checked out of their hotel after
the Milwaukee game, went to the airport, couldn't leave due to high
winds, then had to find a different hotel to stay in overnight, then
left in the morning and arrived in Boston at Noon.  So they must have
been quite tired and unprepared, but I still like what the C's did.
