Greatest Moment

The Seattle SuperSonics had lost the NBA Finals to the Washington
Bullets in 1978, and in '79 they dropped the opening game of the
Finals to the Bullets. But behind the scoring of Dennis Johnson
and Gus Williams and the rebounding of Jack Sikma, the Lenny
Wilkens-coached Sonics swept the next four games to become the
first--and still only--team from the state of Washington to win a
major pro sports title.
