Cleveland, in its first playoff ever, now has broken the NBA playoff crowd record in each of its four home games. "I think this series was one of the greatest things that ever happened to a young team," said Cleveland Coach Bill Fitch. "Even if we had lost, it was great experience, I think Washington is just a great team.

The Cavaliers will now get a rest until the winner of the Boston-Buffalo series, tied 2-2, is decided. As Washington Coach K. 0. Jones noted, the game Thursday was "one point this way and one point that way" most of the night.
