including the Bullets’ first six points to pull
them into a 69-69 tie with nine minutes re

take control of the game midway through

added 14. Buck Williams led New jersey
with 23 points and Albert King had 15. Dar

New Jersey, a team that hustled its way to
44 regular-season victories, might have
been a little in awe of the playoffs, according
to Walker.
“Scared?” he asked. “You might say the
team played scared.”
