Motta sticks to game plan in back-to-back with Sonics
Bullets coach Dick Motta says no major changes for the second game against Seattle despite Elvin Hayes and Bobby Dandridge urging Mitch Kupchak to get more minutes. Hayes and Dandridge, who averaged 39 points in the regular season, struggled in the opener as Marvin Webster shut down inside. Motta rejects replacing Wes Unseld, insisting the team can counter Seattle's defense with current personnel. Seattle coach Lenny Wilkens plays down home court edge while focusing on road success.
