Markos, it appeared, had run afoul of Moscow, and of the Moscow-liners in his own councils, by maintaining close contacts with Yugoslavia after Tito's break with the Cominform.

He gobbled up rebounds from both backboards, made blind passes on the fast break, fed the ball to his teammates from his pivot slot. When the game was over, the Lakers had won a close one (78-76), and Mike Mikan had added 30 more points to his season's total (1,091) while Fulks was picking...
