...third quarter, despite a great performance by Oscar Robertson (43 points) and some scintillating clutch shooting by little Adrian Smith, things fell apart for the Royals: The Celtics just couldn't be contained any longer. They surged to a 108-93 third quarter lead behind the shooting of Jones, and stretched it to 123-98 in the fourth.

These clutch the dyes as they arrive and form them into a tough, many-colored surface that reproduces the colored image focused by the camera's lens. The picture needs no further treatment. Its blues are sometimes slightly greenish at first, but after a few moments the excess green tint disappears permanently...
