Hawks 102 - SuperSonics 82
The new Sarunas Jasikevicius seems to be quite the ball player.
A day after getting a makeover to update his outdated face , the new Sarunas Jasikevicius helped his Hawks win by scoring 60 points in a blowout of the Seattle Supersonics. The Hawks (28-24) got off to a good start and left the heartbreaking loss at Detroit behind them , as Jasikevicius erupted in the 1st half for 28 points. He would go on to score 50 until the middle of the 4th , where he was pulled for Tony Delk. But he wasn't done yet. With the game well decided , Delk was substituted out with 1:23 to go and Jasikevicius entered the game to roaring applause from the Phillips Center crowd. Despite fatigue , he was still able to hit the long shot that he had nailed all night and broke the 60 point barrier with a 3 as time expired.
"I was just feeling it today" , Jasikevicius said in the post-game interview. "It must be the new look. And after I saw Kobe Bryant score 62 the other night against Dallas I decided I would try to show the world that Kobe isn't the only one that can score 60."
He's sure shown the world , all right.
