1/2/80:
Unstoppable in the low post with his patented turnaround jumper, Elvin Hayes scores 34 points including 9 in the second overtime to give the Washington Bullets a 139-134 victory over the SuperSonics at the Seattle Center Coliseum. It’s the first meeting of the year between the two clubs, which have met in the last two NBA Finals, each club winning one world title. Jump shots by Jack Sikma at the end of regulation and a three-pointer by Dennis Johnson at the end of the first OT allow Seattle to prolong the game until three of their starters foul out and the Bullets finally prevail.
