-sMailman fails to deliver against the Sonics
Malone's two missed free throws in final seconds seals victory for Seattle, 90-86
SEATTLE (AP) — The Seat
tle SuperSonics, led by their
two young All-Stars, are going
to the NBA Finals instead of
the Utah Jazz and their two fu
ture Hall of Famers.
The Sonics, behind Shawn
Kemp and Gary Payton, won
Game 7 of the Western Conference
finals 90-86 Sunday, advancing to
the NBA Finals for the first time
since 1979 and erasing a legacy of
playoff failure.
“I’ve never doubted this bas
ketball team,” Seattle coach
George Karl said.
Seattle will meet the Chicago
Bulls in the finals beginning
Wednesday night, while Karl
Malone, John Stockton and the
Jazz finished one step from the
championship round for the
third time in five years.
Utah was seeking to become
the sixth team in NBA history
to come back from a 3-1 deficit,
but the Jazz ended up getting
beaten at their own game. The
Sonics did not score a single
fastbreak point, but they shot
54 percent in the halfcourt of
fense and got four clutch free
throws from Kemp in the final
77 seconds.
Malone, plagued by foul
shooting problems throughout
the postseason, missed a pair
with 8.2 seconds left that could
have pulled Utah within one.
Hersey Hawkins was fouled on
the rebound, made one throw
and the outcome was sealed.
“We won like men, we lose like
men,” Malone said. “We played
hard but didn’t get it done.”
Kemp had 26 points and 14
rebounds and Payton
scored 22.
The efforts of
those two helped
nullify the 22 points
scored by both
Stockton and Mal
one and sent the
Sonics to Chicago as
the only thing
standing in the
Bulls’ way of completing an
unprecedented season.
It will be Seattle’s first appear
ance in the NBA Finals since
Jack Sikma, Dennis Johnson and
Gus Williams led the Sonics to
their only title in 1979.
And the victory in the decid
ing game should end the Sonics’
reputation as a choke team
come the playoffs. Seattle,
knocked out in the first round
the past two years, was hearing
the put-down once again after
losing Game 5 at home and get
ting blown out in Salt Lake
City in Game 6.
A 7-0 run brought Utah
within 85-84. Kemp then drew
Antoine Carr’s sixth foul on an
isolation play in the lane, and
he sank both free throws for an
87-84 lead.
Malone scored on a reverse
layup with 32.2
second left, and
Kemp was fouled in
the lane again with
13.9 seconds left,
this time by Greg
Foster.
Kemp, who shot
69 percent from the
field in the series,
including 8-of-l2
Sunday, sank another pair to
restore a three-point lead.
‘T knew he’d knock ’em
down, and that’s why he’s
Shawn Kemp,” Payton said.
Just five seconds later, it
was Malone’s pressure moment
from the line.
With a sellout crowd of
17,072 roaring, Malone bricked
the first one off the front rim.
After a timeout, he missed yet
again — his sixth miss from the
line in 12 attempts and his
25th miss of the series.
Seconds later, the Sonics
were raising their arms and
hugging each other as the
buzzer sounded.
The momentum swung Seat
tle’s way midway through the
third quarter after Payton had
missed his last four shots. He
broke the streak with a put-
back for a 64-57 lead and
drilled a jumper from the cor
ner while guarded by both
Stockton and Malone.
Seattle’s lead stayed between
five and eight points in the
fourth quarter until Stockton
drove around Payton for a
layup with 5:11 left, making it
80-77.
The Sonics answered with a
pair of free throws by Kemp
and a 3-pointer by Detlef
Schrempf with 5:28 left to in
crease their lead to 85-77.
Malone, Carr and Stockton
scored from inside and Stock-
ton hit an illegal defense free
throw to cut the lead to one,
but Utah was never able to
take the lead for what would
have been just the second time
in the second half.

the way, the SuperSonics can oughly rested, having no'
turn their attention to the played since May 27.
Bulls, who set a record with 72 “My nightmare’s just begin
wins this season and are thor- ning,” Karl said.
