Cape Bretoner Joey Schwartz, now living in Toronto, is not impressed:
…
…….If it was Clarie Gillis and company, they’d have been partying
…….and drinking ’til sunrise.

Costas Halavrasos speculates that would-be revelers had been lured away by:

…….A devotion to the National Religion, which was broadcasting the Mass
…….For Shut-Ins from Pittsburgh. But given Darrell’s love of b-ball,
…….it was more likely the Lakers-Magic game that he wanted to catch.
