...happened, he could have played on his knees. Reed, limping noticeably, scored the first basket of the game, and the Knicks never looked back. In a virtual replay of their ball-hawking heroics in the fifth game, the New Yorkers all but ran the Lakers off the court.

I Can't Wait Until Tomorrow recounts the embryonic construction of another dynasty, as seen by one of its creator. And Schaap falls easily into the trap of using a parallel style for the latter...
