This team's only Finals appearance came under Larry Brown, and it was actually in the ABA in the year before the merger, 1976. This team is not Golden State, but they are the first team to win a playoff series as an 8th seed against a 1st seed, doing so against the SuperSonics in 1994. Under another coach, this team set a record for consecutive games scoring over 100 points, with Doug Moe's motion offense setting Alex English and Kiki Vandeweghe loose. Despite that history, the team endured a long period of mediocrity until acquiring a graduate of their city's George Washington High School through trade and, with the third pick in the 2003 NBA Draft, a Syracuse alum. For 10 points, name this NBA franchise who took the Lakers to six games in the 2009 Western Conference Finals, that features Chauncey Billups and Car
