Hoops Links: Lewis, Warriors, Thomas, Sefolosha

On this date in 1996, the SuperSonics topped the Jazz 90-86 in Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals, putting them in the NBA Finals for the first time since 1979.  Shawn Kemp led the way with 26 points while Gary Payton had 21.  The Sonics would of course succumb to Michael Jordan's Bulls in the Finals but earned the distinction of being only the second team in NBA Finals history to   battle to a Game 6 after trailing 3-0 in the series.
