It was on tape delay in New York at midnight. I believe the film was Women in Love, although I could be wrong. (We went because Glenda Jackson was naked in it.) The movie theater manager stopped the film in the middle, raised the house lights, and made the announcement. One of our friends screamed at the manager and chased him down. We then went to a friends' house, thinking we would watch the gane and perhaps it would be interesting. Friend's brother opened the door, and said "The Knicks were up by 25 at the half and never looked back." Most boring game I ever saw. Final score was, I think, 113-99. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
