“The playoffs proved to be a
challenge we w eren’t quiet pre­
pared for,” said head coach Bryan
Butcher. “It was great that our guys
got the opportunity to come face to

as first class winners.”
A highlight o f the tournament
included a rally game against team
Hawaii with a tie score o f 1 to 1 until

N BA ’s fiercest rivals, but Boston
has fallen on hard times since win­
ning its I6thcham pionshipin 1986.
Since then, the Lakers have won
five titles and lost three times in the
Finals, including this year’s upset
by the Detroit Pistons.
The Lakers then traded Shaquille

Tomjanovich. Derek Fisher left for
Golden State and Vlade Di vac, Los
Angeles’ center from the early '90s,
was brought back for another stint.
A nine-time All-Star who aver­
aged 18.3 points per game over his
first 13 seasons, Payton averaged
14.6 points - his lowest since the
1992-93 season - and a career-low
4.2 assists in the regular season last
year.
The former Oregon State great
was selected to the N BA ’s all-de­
fensive team eight times and was
voted the defensive player of the
year in 1996. He is fifth on the
league's all-time list with 2,243 steals
and sixth with 8,039 assists; he
needs 44 points to become the 29th
player in NBA history to score
20,000 points.
(A P )— The Greek premier and
head of the International Olympic
Com mittee say Greece is ready for
the games to begin. Now, they just
want more people to show up.
Preparations by Athens dragged
after the IOC awarded the games to
Greece in 1997. IOC officials wor­
ried when construction ran behind
schedule.
The delays are being blamed for
sluggish ticket sales, with ju st
slightly less than half of the 5.3
million tickets still unsold. Organiz­
ers hope to sell 3.4 million before
Friday’s opening ceremony.
“I call upon the Greek public to
come to the venues and to cheer for
their teams and to cheer for the
o th e r te a m s ," IO C p re sid e n t
Jacques Rogge said Monday after
a tour of the main Olympic complex
w ith c h ie f o r g a n iz e r G ia n n a
