The NBA scoring leader during this season scored 15 points, handed out 10 assists, and collected five steals. The top scorer was Ray Allen of the Seattle SuperSonics with 17 points.

Famous quotes containing the word game:

    The family environment in which your children are growing up is different from that in which you grew up. The decisions our parents made and the strategies they used were developed in a different context from what we face today, even if the “content” of the problem is the same. It is a mistake to think that our own experience as children and adolescents will give us all we need to help our children. The rules of the game have changed.
    Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
