But the hard-pressed Su perSonics are just one loss away from elimination. The two teams play Game 5 of the NBA quarterfinal series tonight in Seattle’s Kingdome. The winner of the senes will meet the Los Angeles Lakers, who swept Phoenix, in a best-of- seven playoff for the Western Conference championship. San Antonio has built its com manding 3-1 lead on the basis of two-point victories in Games 1,3 and 4. Seattle had a compara tively easy 114-99 win over the PACK AVENUE no one touches my hair but.... rob for appt 260-9050 Spurs in Game 2. The Spurs apparently are be nefiting from a week of inten sive workouts in El Paso while Seattle was disposing of Hous ton in a three-game playoff mini-series. San Antonio center George Johnson said the Spurs spent quite a bit of time practic ing late-game situations during their workouts. “Seattle is a fine team — I don’t think they really crumble,” said Johnson. “It’s just a matter of which team makes fewer mis takes. “Overall they’ve made fewer mistakes. But when it comes down to the stretch, that’s when they’ve been making their mis takes and not doing the things you have to do to win ball games.” George Gervin and Mike Bratz hit game-winning shots with seconds left in Games 1 and 3 for the Spurs while Dave Cor- zine’s free throws and rebound ing down the stretch helped San Antonio take Game 4. San Antonio’s clutch play in the series may help the Spurs shake off their reputation for choking in the playoffs. Coming into the matchup with Seattle, the Spurs had won just one of six playoff series since joining the NBA in 1977. One of San Antonio’s classic folds occurred in the 1979 East ern Conference finals when the Spurs held a 3-1 advantage over the Washington Bullets but lost the next three in a row. One of the key San Antonio additions is the most recent — small forward Mike Mitchell, who was acquired from Cleve land in a mid-season trade. Mitchell has outscored his coun terpart for the Sonics, Wally Walker, 96-5 in the series. The Sonics are attempting to become only the fifth team in NBA history to win a seven- game series after falling behind S F A E Student Survey Dear Student: Since there have been many varied statements about the quality of teaching at Texas A&M, we, the “STUDENTS FOR ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE”, would like to compile data to evaluate this important area.
