  Supersonic: Seattle wins its only NBA title
  Moses Malone wins his 1st MVP award
  G. Gervin: 29.6 ppg … L. Free: 28.8 ppg … M. Malone: 24.8 ppg, 17.6 rpg
  Defending champ Washington won 10 more season games this year, but in an NBA-finals rematch, the Bullets faded against Seattle's swift young backcourt of Gus Williams (26.6 ppg) and Dennis Johnson (20.9). In Houston, Moses Malone won the first of his three MVP awards and first of his five rebounding titles. San Antonio's George Gervin repeated as scoring champ.
