RODMAN RIPS NBA, THEN APOLOGIZES FOR HEAD-BUTT
NEW YORK -- Chicago Bulls forward Dennis Rodman said Tuesday he wants
to meet with NBA commissioner David Stern about his six-game suspension
and added that his teammates are still behind him despite his antics.
Rodman followed that up with a formal apology later in the day.
The NBA suspended Rodman for six games and fined him $20,000 on Monday
for his wild theatrics in Saturday night's game at New Jersey, where
he head-butted a referee after being ejected from the game.
Rodman will not be eligible to play again until the Bulls visit the
Miami Heat on April 2. The ejection also carries an additional
automatic $1,000 fine. With his lost salary during the suspension, the
incident will cost Rodman more than $228,000.
Rodman told WMVP Radio in Chicago on Tuesday that he wants to confront
Stern. Just hours later, Rodman released an apology through the team.
"I want to talk to him face-to-face, and I want him to look at me, in
my eyes, and say, 'Dennis you cannot do this, you cannot do that,'"
Rodman said. "And I will put something in his face ... on the table,
and say, 'What do you mean I can't do this?' And I want to ask, 'What
is the difference between me and everybody else in this league?'"
Hours later, the Bulls issued the following statement from Rodman:
"I want to apologize publicly for my actions. I was wrong in making
contact with an NBA official and I deserved to be punished for my
actions, although I do not believe they are severe.
"I realize that the NBA referees are doing their jobs and it's my job
to respect them and the rules of the game and not put my teammates in
jeopardy. Chicago Bulls fans and my teammates have treated me with
grest warmth and acceptance and I realize I let them down and I have
an obligation not to let them down again."
Michael Jordan was among the Chicago players who said Monday the
suspension was hurting the Bulls, who are already playing without
injured All-Star Scottie Pippen.
But Rodman claims he is a team player.
"The team is still behind me no matter what. They know that I'm very
competitive. I like to go out there and win, win, win," Rodman said.
"That's my No. 1 goal. And they know that they know that I'm not no
psycho problem-child when I'm out there on the floor."
Rodman said that the suspension was inconsistent with past league
policy.
"It's like I haven't done anything different for the last 10 years
and now all of sudden they're saying you gotta change," he said.
Rodman was ejected with 1:31 left in the first quarter of Saturday's
game after receiving his second technical foul of the game. He
proceeded to lightly head-butt referee Ted Bernhardt above the left
eye. Rodman then ripped his shirt off, stormed around the court and
knocked over a water cooler as he headed to the locker room. The Bulls
won the game 97-93.
"Physical assaults on referees cannot and will not be tolerated under
any circumstances," said NBA senior vice president Rod Thorn. "The
suspension and fine reflect not only the head-butting, but the
totality of his actions on the court."
Rodman's suspension was the third longest levied by the NBA. Kermit
Washington was suspended for 26 games in 1977 for punching Rudy
Tomjanovich, and Vernon Maxwell received a 10-game suspension last
year for going into the stands and hitting a fan.
"I understand fully that making contact with an official is an
extremely serious offense and we as an organization understand the
severity of Mr. Rodman's situation," said Bulls vice president of
operations Jerry Krause. "However, I think the penalty is too severe
for a player whose conduct has been excellent up until this point."
Rodman accused the referees of treating him unfairly after Saturday's
game.
"The refs watch me instead of the game," said Rodman. "Thorn was even
here to watch me. Since it was me, I get picked on. Every damn game,
I'm the guinea pig. Why am I so different from the rest of the league?
"If I butted him, I butted him," said Rodman. "Suspend me. Rod Thorn,
(commissioner) David Stern -- suspend me if you're so big."
Rodman picked up a questionable technical foul early in the first
quarter for pounding the ball on the court. He was called for a
personal foul with 1:31 left in the first quarter and protested the
call. As Rodman argued the call with referee Paul Mihalak, he put his
hands inside his shorts. Bernhardt then raced over and called Rodman
for his second technical.
"It's tough to swallow as a team," said Bulls coach Phil Jackson of
the suspension. "We know this can't happen on the basketball court
just as we know people can't disrupt a game."

CABLE TV COMPANY BUYS 76ERS, FLYERS, ARENAS
PHILADELPHIA -- Comcast Corp., a cable television company, on Tuesday
announced that it is buying both the NHL's Philadelphia Flyers and the
NBA's Philadelphia 76ers along with two arenas.
The announcement was made Tuesday at a news conference in Philadelphia.
Terms were not announced but insiders claim the price is between $500
million and $600 million, ranking it as the most expensive sports
acquisition in history.
Comcast is the third largest cable corporation in the United States
with more than 3.3 million subscribers. It reported $3.4 billion in
revenue last year.
The purchase of the 76ers is subject to approval by the National
Basketball Association. The purchase of the Flyers is subject to a
number of approvals, including that of the National Hockey League.
Ed Snider, Pat Croce and Comcast Corporation announced the formation
of the Comcast-Spectacor Venture.
The venture will own and operate the 76ers basketball team, the Flyers
hockey team and the two sports arenas, the CoreStates Spectrum and the
new CoreStates Center. Comcast will hold a 66 percent ownership
interest in this joint venture.
Croce and Comcast teamed to purchase the 76ers from Harold Katz.
Comcast and Croce will contribute the 76ers to the joint venture and
Croce will become president of the 76ers. Snider will be the managing
partner of the venture.
"This is an exciting day for the Philadelphia region -- the chance to
combine two major sports franchises and to continue to expand the
opportunities for the teams and for both arenas, are exciting
prospects," said Snider.
"We are looking forward to the August, 1996, opening of the
CoreStates Center, where both the 76ers and the Flyers will play next
season. We hope to build upon the great history of these two sports
franchises in the years ahead. "I am delighted to be a partner of
Comcast Corporation, whose media, telephone and electronic retailing
businesses in Philadelphia, New Jersey and Delaware will help to
expand the popularity of the teams."
"This is a dream come true for me," added Croce. "The chance to help
take the 76ers to new heights is a once in a lifetime opportunity --
and I can't wait to get started. I would like to thank Harold Katz for
giving me this wonderful opportunity."
"We are delighted to have the opportunity to join with Ed Snider and
Pat Croce in the formation of this exciting new partnership," said
Ralph J. Roberts, the chairman of Comcast Corporation. "Ed has a long
and successful track record in both owning and operating the Flyers
and the Spectrum and is responsible for the creation of the exciting
new CoreStates Center.
"Pat Croce was instrumental in putting this transaction together and
will play an important role as we continue to build the premier sports
complex and sports operation in the country.
"Harold Katz has made a major contribution to regional sports over the
fifteen years that he has owned the 76ers. Through his efforts, the
76ers won the NBA title in 1983. Now that Harold has made the
difficult decision to sell the team, it is up to us to regain that
past glory."
Comcast Corp. is principally engaged in the development, management
and operation of wired telecommunications, including cable television
and telephone services, wireless telecommunications, cellular,
personal communications services and direct to home satellite
television. Comcast also is the principal ownership of QVC network,
the world's premier electronic retailer, and other programming
investments.

Hill garners weekly honor
Detroit Pistons forward Grant Hill has been named the NBA Player of
the Week. Hill recorded a pair of triple-doubles in four games last
week.
Hill, who has a league-leading eight triple-doubles this season,
averaged 21.5 points, 13.3 rebounds, 8.5 assists and 1.0 steals per
game to lead Detroit to a 4-0 record last week.
Other candidates for the honor were Charlotte's Larry Johnson,
Chicago's Michael Jordan, Miami's Tim Hardaway, Phoenix's Kevin
Johnson, Portland's Arvydas Sabonis, Vancouver's Bryant Reeves and
Washington's Gheorghe Muresan.

Hill apologizes for Bowie timeout
An angry Orlando Magic head coach Brian Hill has apologized to the
Detroit Pistons for an incident at the close of Tuesday night's 113-91
Magic victory that resulted in the Pistons leaving the court in the
closing seconds of the game.
With Orlando about to complete the rout, Magic guard Anthony Bowie
called timeout with just 2.7 seconds left to play. It turned out he
needed just one assist to record his first NBA triple-double and he
wanted to set up a play to get the assist.
The timeout angered Detroit head coach Doug Collins, who told his
players to stand off to the side when the Magic inbounded the ball.
Bowie got his assist, but then Collins and his players walked off the
court with about a second to play.
Hill, who had not called for the timeout, was obviously upset by
Bowie's action. He tried to apologize to Collins outside the Pistons'
locker room, but was ignored.
"I'd like to formally apologize to Doug Collins, his staff, the fans
and entire Detroit Pistons organization for the timeout," Hill said.
"I thought it was totally uncalled for. I regret it."
Bowie, who ended the night with 20 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists,
did not apologize for what happened.
"You only get so many opportunities like that," he told reporters, and
that's why I did it."
Collins refused to comment afterward, and told his players to also
keep quiet about the incident.

BRADLEY'S NET WORTH REACHES NEW HEIGHTS
In his third NBA season, 23-year-old Shawn Bradley has finally found a
home. Like his Mormon forbearers, Bradley has had a rough journey. He
spent more than two seasons in unforgiving Philadelphia -- first as
the savior, then as a bust. The Sixers finally traded him Nov. 30 to
the New Jersey Nets for malcontent Derrick Coleman. While Coleman has
played in just 11 games for Philadelphia, Bradley has already paid big
dividends in New Jersey.
Since moving roughly 90 miles north from Philadelphia, the 7-foot-6
center has been attacking the rim for vicious dunks. And instead of
serving as every dunker's favorite target on the other end of the
floor, he's blocking shots like a man on a mission. He's even thrown
Alonzo Mourning to the floor in his new home.
"I'm not going back down to anybody," Bradley said. "If Shaquille
(O'Neal) dunks on me, I'm going to run down the floor and try to score
on him. I may not dunk on him, but I'm going to try to score."
Better atmosphere equals better play
This kind of transformation is not supposed to happen in the NBA. The
Nets franchise has been known for ruining players ... not reviving
them. But, so far, New Jersey and Bradley are perfect together.
"When Shawn came here and we had the press conference, I took him
aside and said, 'Look Shawn, I don't know what happened in
Philadelphia. I've read a lot of things, but you can't come here and
save this organization,'" Nets coach Butch Beard said.
And that comfort zone created by his coach on his first day with the
organization has had a lasting impact on Bradley.
"They said, 'What we want you to do is come out and work hard and get
better,'" Bradley explained. "It took a lot of the pressure off me,
and I was able to come out and feel a lot better about myself and my
game. And I've been playing a lot better ball."
The success behind the Nets/Bradley merger goes beyond the improved
atmosphere off the court. New Jersey's on-the-court product has also
helped. The Sixers didn't have a bona fide point guard during
Bradley's two-year stay. The Nets, on the other hand, had Kenny
Anderson and still have Chris Childs - - who has averaged over 10
assists per game since February - - to feed Bradley the ball in the
low post.
Once Bradley gets the ball down low, he now has a better idea of what
to do with it -- thanks in large part to Nets assistant coach Clifford
Ray. Standing 6-foot-9, the former NBA Rookie of the Year understands
exactly what Bradley has been up against.
"People have a tendency to have a short amount of patience with big
people," Ray explained. "Because they look at their size and they say,
'You ought to be doing this.'"
Bradley isn't the first player to look to Ray for guidance. Ray
tutored Robert Parish while both were playing for the Warriors in the
'70s, and as an assistant coach with the Mavs, he worked with Roy
Tarpley, James Donaldson and Herb Williams.
"Working with Clifford has been very good for me," Bradley said. "He's
really helped me with my confidence and believes in my ability."
And the results have certainly been noticeable.
"Obviously he's put in some time and put some work into his game
trying to improve and develop into a game and not being what everybody
thinks he's going to be -- a stiff, a flop, a quote unquote flop,"
Mourning said.
"I would love to have Shawn Bradley on our team," Suns forward Charles
Barkley said. "He's a guy who is not going to dominate the game like
they thought he would, but I think he can be a solid rebounder and
gives you solid defense every night."
Forgetting Philly
Like Barkley, Bradley's experience in Philadelphia is best forgotten.
Although Bradley played just one season and 34 games at Brigham Young,
the Sixers selected him with the second pick of the 1993 draft and
gave him a $44 million contract. When he fell short of expectations,
he was accused of being lazy and soft.
"I won't say I had a bad time in Philadelphia," Bradley said. "But it
came to a point where they didn't want me anymore."
The low point came last fall when a Philadelphia sportstalk radio
station asked listeners to call in with creative nicknames for
Bradley. Creative quickly turned into crude: White man's burden;
Missionary impossible; The great white nope.
"I've always known that if I work hard and do the best that I can do,
it doesn't matter what people think about me," Bradley said. "There's
been worse stuff said about other people in their lives, and if I let
that stuff get to me, I'm succumbing to their level."
Barkley, a 10-time All-Star selection who spent eight seasons in
Philadelphia, knows all about the not so loving side of the City of
Brotherly Love.
"You're not going to get a fair deal in Philadelphia with the press
there," he said.
New Jersey state of mind
Ironic as it may seem, Bradley may have found the perfect refuge in
the NBA's biggest and toughest market. The New York press is so
preoccupied with the Knicks' daily soap opera across the Hudson River
that Bradley should get a chance to succeed or fail in New Jersey
without the daily scrutiny that dogged him in Philadelphia. And while
the Nets struggle to turn their season around and make the playoffs,
the big news at the Meadowlands is the big man in the middle who
cares.
"You need a little history. We've gone through the Joe Barry Carroll
decade. We've gone through the Benoit Benjamin decade," said long-time
Nets season-ticket holder Frank Capece. "We actually have a center who
is willing to run up and down the court. We have a center who is
willing to play the game. We have a center who yells at the referees.
We have a center who is fighting for us. Shawnster's our guy. He has
found a home in northern New Jersey."
The cause for this endearment is obvious; Bradley's minutes, points,
rebounds and blocks have gone up in each month since he joined the
Nets at the beginning of December. Yet, he and the team know his game
needs plenty of work.
"When I look at Shawn, sometimes he want to be a small forward," said
Nets executive vice president and general manager Willis Reed. "He's
not a small forward. He has to be a center. He has to develop the sky
hook, the turnaround jump shot, the jams. He has to run the floor and
block shots in the middle of the floor."
The coach concurred: "He's still a baby. He doesn't understand a lot
of things, but he has made tremendous progress since he's been here."
And the Nets just hope Bradley's game approaches the height of his
7-foot-6 frame.

NETS' GILL READY TO REHAB INJURED HAND
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- New Jersey Nets guard Kendall Gill can begin
physical therapy Wednesday, one day after three surgical pins and a
cast were removed from his left hand.
Dr. Charles Melone Jr. said the metacarpal on Gill's left index finger
had healed and will be re-evaluated in a week. Gill will have to wear
a removable splint.
Gill sustained the injury Feb. 14 in a game against Indiana. New
Jersey acquired him from Charlotte on Jan. 19 in a deal for Kenny
Anderson, and Gill played 11 games for New Jersey before the injury.

Cleveland 81, Dallas 72
DALLAS -- Danny Ferry scored 17 of his 24 points in the first half to
lead the Cleveland Cavaliers to an 81-72 victory over the Dallas
Mavericks on Tuesday.
Bobby Phills converted six free throws and added a dunk in the final
44 seconds to seal the victory for the Cavaliers, who moved into a tie
with Detroit for the fifth playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
"This was a very important win for us because of our playoff
situation," Cavaliers coach Mike Fratello said. "We got some big
defensive stops when we had to."
The loss was the eighth in a row for the Mavericks, who finished with
a season-low 72 points and shot a dreadful 29 percent (23 for 79) from
the field.
George McCloud led Dallas with 18 points, but hit just six of 19 shots
from the field. The Mavericks played without Tony Dumas and Popeye
Jones, as Dumas is nursing a left foot injury and Jones has tendinitis
in his right knee.
Ferry scored eight points in the first quarter when Cleveland raced to
a 20-11 lead. The Mavs hit just five of 24 shots in the quarter.
Cleveland maintained its nine-point lead, 45-36, at the half.
McCloud scored 13 points in the third quarter and Dallas pulled within
62-56 by the end of the period.
The Mavericks pulled within 71-68 on a pair of free throws by Jason
Kidd with 1:48 remaining. Cleveland's Terrell Brandon converted a pair
of free throws with 57 seconds left and Phills took control in the
final 44 seconds.
Brandon had 14 points and Phills finished with 12 for Cleveland.
"We needed to win this one because we have Houston next and they're
always tough," Cavaliers guard Dan Majerle said. "It's always a good
way to start off a road trip with a win, especially when your fighting
for a playoff spot like we are.
"Obviously, on offense we take our time and execute, but we've become
a very good team by playing good defense."
Dallas' starting backcourt of Kidd and Jim Jackson combined to hit
just seven of 32 shots from the field. Kidd had 14 points on
four-for-17 shooting and Jackson finished with 12 on three-for-15
shooting.
"I think tonight we ran the offense correctly. We had good looks but
they didn't fall," Jackson said. "Cleveland does a good job of lulling
you to sleep and having you play a halfcourt game. Our offense was
there. It was just one of those nights where you don't shoot well and
the score indicates that."
The combined total of 153 points is the lowest in a game involving the
Mavericks. The previous low was 155 points in an 84-73 Indiana victory
over Dallas on Feb. 17, 1994.

TEAM EFFORT CARRIES MAGIC AS SHAQ DOESN'T DO SQUAT
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Horace Grant scored a season-high 26 points, Anthony
Bowie recorded his first career triple-double and Dennis Scott set a
single-season record for 3-pointers as the Orlando Magic extended
their NBA-record home winning streak to 40 games with a 113-91 victory
over the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday.
Bowie had 20 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. Brooks Thompson
scored a carer-high 21 points and Anfernee Hardaway had 18 points and
11 assists for Orlando. Shaquille O'Neal was held to 10 points on
four-of-13 shooting. Dream Teamers Grant Hill, left, and Shaquille
O'Neal didn't have superstar numbers Tuesday. Hill finished with 13
points and O'Neal had 10.
Orlando improved to 33-0 at home this season and has won 40
consecutive home games overall. The Magic shares both records with the
Chicago Bulls, whose streaks also are active.
The Magic called a timeout with two seconds left and a 111-91 lead in
order to get Bowie his 10th assist. Bowie fed the ball to David
Vaughn, who dunked the ball as time expired.
Angry Pistons coach Doug Collins stormed off the court after the final
basket, giving Bowie the cold shoulder when he tried to explain the
situation.
"I know a lot of people are not going to be happy with it," Scott said
of the timeout. "But people have to realize that A.B. worked hard to
get where he is today. He's been in the CBA, overseas, he's been
drafted late in whatever round he was drafted when he came out of
college (third round, 1986).
"He deserved this. He's a classy guy and I hope that people don't take
this one incident and try to rearrange his character, because he's a
great guy."
Scott made two 3-pointers for a season-total of 219, surpassing the
previous NBA record of 217 set by New York's John Starks during the
1994-95 season.
"Oh, I'm glad it's over with," Scott said. "First of all, to the fans,
thank you very much for the ovation in the middle of the first
quarter. That was beautiful. I did it for my ma, sitting up there. Her
eyes got watery. It was great."
Lindsey Hunter scored 15 points, Allan Houston had 14 and Grant Hill
had 13 for Detroit, which had its six-game winning streak snapped and
lost for just the third time in the past 14 games.
The Pistons fell to 14-18 on the road and dropped one game behind the
New York Knicks in the race for the fourth playoff spot in the Eastern
Conference.
With the Magic leading 41-37 at the half, Grant opened the third
quarter with an 18-footer that ignited a 23-10 run. Bowie scored six
points and Hardaway and Grant had four apiece in the burst. Grant's
16-footer gave Orlando a 64-47 lead with 5:17 left in the third
quarter.
The Magic, who have beaten the Pistons nine of 11 times, settled for a
79-63 lead entering the fourth quarter.
Hill -- who entered the game as the only player in the NBA to lead his
team in scoring (21.4), rebounding (9.7) and assists (6.8) -- had
seven assists and six rebounds for Detroit.
"We played O.K.," Hill said. "Our last three losses have been to the
three best teams in the league. The good things about those games is
after we got blown out, we were able to bounce back and win four in a
row and five in a row."

ARMSTRONG, WARRIORS TAKE GIANT LEAP AGAINST ROCKETS
HOUSTON -- Joe Smith scored four of his 20 points during an overtime
run, lifting the Golden State Warriors to a 105-102 victory over the
injury-riddled Houston Rockets on Tuesday.
B.J. Armstrong hit 10 of 17 shots from the field, made 13 of 15 free
throws and finished with a career-high 35 points. Smith had 12
rebounds and three blocks. Golden State guard Jon Barry leaps high to
knock the ball away from Charles Jones.
"I thought we had the game under control," Armstrong said. "We were
doing well defensively, passing the ball, hitting our open shots. But
then they got a few threes. Give Houston credit -- It was a ballgame
at the end.
"Really, it put us in a position we are not used to -- being in the
lead. There is a lesson to be learned here. It would have been painful
if we lost."
Houston played without All-Star center Hakeem Olajuwon and veteran
power forward Mark Bryant, because Olajuwon has tendinitis in both
knees and Bryant has an ankle injury. The Rockets already had been
playing without Clyde Drexler, Mario Elie and Sam Cassell for several
games.
Warriors center Rony Seikaly suffered a torn tendon in his right thumb
in the second quarter Tuesday and did not return. He might need
surgery and is flying back to Oakland on Wednesday for further tests.
Latrell Sprewell scored 16 points and Kevin Willis had 15 and 10
rebounds for Golden State, which won for just the second time in seven
games and improved to 11-24 on the road. The Warriors pulled even with
the Sacramento Kings in the race for the last playoff spot in the
Western Conference.
"They got back in it," Sprewell said of the Rockets. "They never quit
playing. When you know Hakeem's out, that has to make it easier on
offense and defense. Still though, you have to respect the other guys.
They have pride and you can't take them for granted."
Robert Horry scored 26 points, Kenny Smith scored 19 before fouling
out and Tim Breaux had 12 and 11 rebounds for Houston, which lost for
the fourth time in six games.
"If you can be happy with a loss, I guess this is about as happy as
you can be," Rockets coach Rudy Tomjanovich said. "We expended a lot
of effort on defense and that was great. We held what I consider a
pretty good offensive team to 40-percent shooting.
"This is an inspiring game. You hate to lose, but we really gave it
our best. I keep telling the guys, it doesn't matter what your name is
or how much you make. What matters is that you believe in yourself."
Joe Smith hit a jumper, Sprewell had a steal and dunked and Smith made
another jumper to cap a 6-1 run in overtime and give the Warriors a
103-98 lead with two minutes left.
Sprewell made one free throw to give the Warriors a 105-102 lead with
eight seconds left. Houston's Melvin Booker missed a 3-pointer at the
buzzer.
Jerome Kersey pulled down a season-high 14 rebounds and scored 10
points and Sprewell had a season-high five steals for Golden State,
which shot just 41 percent (38 for 93) from the field, but forced 20
turnovers.
Horry had six blocked shots for Houston, which fell to 22-9 at home
and is dropped four games behind the Utah Jazz in the race for the
third playoff spot in the Western Conference. The Rockets have lost
consecutive games to the Warriors after beating Golden State on 11
consecutive occasions.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Glen Rice scored 23 points Tuesday night to lead
Charlotte to a 102-94 victory over the Indiana Pacers, moving the
Hornets within two games of seventh-place Atlanta in the Eastern
Conference playoff race.
Rik Smits had 24 points and 11 rebounds and Reggie Miller scored 20
points for the Pacers, who suffered their fifth loss in the past seven
games. Indiana's Derrick McKey gets a rude welcoming from Charlotte's
Matt Geiger.
The Hornets -- who completed a 4-0 homestand -- played without
starting point guard Kenny Anderson, who is nursing a sprained left
ankle.
"I think we held up to their pressure particularly well," Hornets head
coach Allan Bristow said. "When we had to make big plays, we did. To
me, Indiana is the toughest team in our conference to beat -- I'm just
talking over the past two years."
Rice scored seven points as Charlotte raced to a 23-10 lead in the
first 10 minutes. The Pacers closed within 32-24 with 9:15 left in the
second quarter, but the Hornets went on a 15-4 run to open a 47-28
lead with 3:45 remaining. Larry Johnson scored five points and Darrin
Hancock added four points in the spurt.
Charlotte held a 54-36 halftime advantage.
An 8-1 run late in the third quarter pulled the Pacers within 69-61,
but Charlotte started the fourth quarter with a 9-4 spurt to open the
lead to 78-65.
A pair of free throws by Miller with 1:58 left pulled Indiana within
90-83. But Rice hit a 3-pointer with 1:34 remaining and Matt Geiger
converted a layup to open a 95-83 lead for the Hornets.
"We got in the game slow and were trying to catching up," Pacers coach
Larry Brown said. "You've got to play near perfect down the stretch.
We did a good job on Larry Johnson, but they just found a way to win."
Geiger finished with 14 points and 11 rebounds. Anthony Goldwire --
who started for the injured Anderson -- and Dell Curry added 14 points
apiece for the Hornets. Larry Johnson had a career-high 14 assists for
Charlotte.
"I'm just going in to try to control the tempo, and when guys get
double-teamed, I just get to spot up," Goldwire said. "It was a great
win for us."
Antonio Davis and Ricky Pierce scored 12 points apiece for the Pacers.

PORTLAND, Ore. -- Rod Strickland scored 20 points as the Portland
Trail Blazers extend their season-best winning streak to six games and
continued their dominance over the Minnesota Timberwolves with a
106-78 rout Tuesday night.
The Blazers defeated the Timberwolves for the 13th consecutive time,
improving Portland's series lead to 26-2.
Buck Williams scored 13 points and Clifford Robinson had 12 for
Portland, which pulled within one-half game of the the Phoenix Suns in
the race for the sixth playoff spot in the Western Conference.
"We've just been playing hard and aggressive," Strickland said. "We're
getting everybody involved. I think me and Cliff aren't taking all the
shots and, let's face it: Arvydas Sabonis has been a big help since
he has become a starter. He's giving us some offense right from the
beginning, so we're not having to play 10 points behind all the time."
Veteran Buck Williams' scored 13 points as Portland moved within
one-half game of Phoenix for sixth place in the Western Conference.
"We were going to try and get the most benefit out of Sabonis as we
can, and he's been playing more and more lately," Blazers guard Aaron
McKie said. "Hopefully he can continue to stay healthy and be a big
factor for us."
Sabonis suffered serious leg injuries during his playing career in
Europe, but doctors recently cleared him to play more than 30 minutes
per game for Portland.
Because of his skills on offense, Sabonis has been one key to
Portland's recent success. But the man he replaced in the lineup --
shot-blocking and rebounding specialist Chris Dudley -- had a big game
against Minnesota, finishing with 11 points and 11 rebounds.
Sabonis had nine points and eight rebounds as the Blazers finished
with a 53-28 rebounding edge.
Sam Mitchell scored 13 points, Tom Gugliotta had 12 and Kevin Garnett
11 for Minnesota. Isaiah Rider did not start because of an
upper-respiratory infection, but scored 14 points in 28 minutes.
"We got down quick and we just never did battle back," Gugliotta said.
"We tried, but we didn't play smart basketball, so we got blown out.
"We're missing a lot of key guys right now, but even with that, it
seemed like we were starting to come around a little bit and play as a
team. Tonight was a big setback. We didn't play together and it
showed."
Andrew Lang and Spud Webb -- the two players Minnesota acquired in the
Christian Laettner trade -- both missed the game because of injuries.
After Gugliotta hit a 10-footer to close Minnesota within 13-10 early
in the first quarter, Harvey Grant ignited a 15-5 run with a layin.
McKie and Sabonis scored four points each during the burst and
Williams made a layup to give the Blazers a 28-15 lead with 1:30 left
in the first.
"It may look easy, but it's definitely work," McKie said. "We've been
coming out and making our shots early and putting pressure on the
other team as opposed to them putting pressure on us."
Portland settled for a 32-18 lead after one quarter and opened the
second quarter with an 8-2 run. Williams made an eight-footer, Dudley
made three free throws and Rumeal Robinson made a 3-pointer to give
Portland a 40-20 bulge with seven minutes left in the second quarter.
The Blazers settled for a 56-40 lead at the half. Minnesota never got
no closer than 15 points the rest of the way.
Garnett added seven rebounds for Minnesota, which shot 38 percent (29
for 77) and committed 17 turnovers that led 26 points for Portland.

KINGS FALL APART IN FOURTH QUARTER AS BULLS WIN AGAIN
CHICAGO -- Michael Jordan scored eight of his 20 points during a 21-0
fourth-quarter run as the Chicago Bulls clinched the Central Division
title and embarrassed the Sacramento Kings 89-67 on Tuesday night.
Sacramento scored seven points in the fourth quarter.
Chicago played its second game in as many nights without two of its
stars. Scottie Pippen has missed the past five games with knee and
back problems, and Dennis Rodman has served two games of a six-game
suspension for head-butting a referee.
The Bulls snapped a 64-64 tie with 10:35 remaining in the final
quarter Tuesday by scoring the next 21 points. Jordan had eight points
during the spurt, which ended with 72 seconds left in the game.
After playing 47 minutes Monday during a victory over Philadelphia,
Jordan made only seven of 16 shots from the field and committed six
turnovers against Sacramento.
"After playing so many minutes last night, I didn't have my full
energy," Jordan said Tuesday. "I kind of needed other guys to step up.
"Offensively, we didn't play very well, but our defense played well
and offensively they a tough night. It was not a pretty game, that's
for sure."
Toni Kukoc had 18 points and seven assists and Ron Harper scored 12
points for the Bulls, who are 33-0 at home this season and have a
40-game home winning, dating back to last season. Both streaks are NBA
records, but Chicago shares the marks with the Orlando Magic.
Chicago needs to win 11 of its final 16 games to become the first team
in NBA history to win 70 games.
"Luckily, we had our defensive effort going for us as usual," Bulls
coach Phil Jackson said. "Their defense was outstanding as well. We
were lucky to get out of this game with a win. There were some amusing
moments in this game.
"We scrummed a bit. It was more like rugby than basketball tonight."
Mitch Richmond had 23 points for Sacramento, which has lost three in a
row, and is 2Ż games behind the Portland Trail Blazers in the race for
the seventh playoff spot in the Western Conference.
"We played a hard game tonight," Richmond said. "We played them
tough."
The Bulls set a record for fewest points allowed in the fourth quarter
and posted their third-best defensive quarter ever. Chicago also set a
franchise-record by allowing just 23 field goals in the contest.
The Kings opened the fourth quarter with baskets by Michael Smith and
Brian Grant to knot the score at 64-64. But Sacramento went cold,
making just one of its next 19 shots.
Jordan scored six of the first nine points during the stretch and Jud
Buechler capped the spurt with a fast-break dunk.
Duane Causewell had eight points and 14 rebounds for the Kings, who
outrebounded the Bulls 51-40, but committed 22 turnovers.

SONICS SLEEP THROUGH THE LAKE, LAKE SHOW
INGLEWOOD, Calif. -- Eddie Jones scored 14 of his 26 points in the
first quarter as the Los Angeles Lakers continued their dominance over
the Seattle SuperSonics with a 94-71 rout Tuesday night.
Elden Campbell had 14 points, 10 rebounds and three blocked shots and
Magic Johnson had 14 points and 10 assists for Los Angeles, which beat
the SuperSonics for the ninth time in the past 12 meetings, excluding
their first-round upset of Seattle in last season's Western Conference
playoffs.
Seattle sports the best record in the West this season, but Sonics
were miserable Tuesday. Their final point total was a season low, as
were the 13 points they scored in the fourth quarter on four-for-15
shooting. Seattle shot just 35 percent for the game (25 for 71) and
its 13-game winning streak against Pacific Division opponents was
snapped.
"We are now 24-6 in our last 30 games," Lakers coach Del Harris said.
"Had we started 24-6, only Chicago would have had a better record than
us and people would have been toasting us. Instead I was being roasted
(after a one-point home loss to Orlando on Sunday).
"It was an outstanding performance," Harris said of the victory over
Seattle. "They sustained the effort for 48 minutes. That's the best 48
minutes we've had, and it's not even close this year. I say that
knowing that the Sonics had the best defense. We beat them at that
aspect tonight."
"So we didn't get off to a good start," Jones said. "So you just try
to do something to get the team going. We can't get down on ourselves
after a loss like Sunday. Today we proved that."
Gary Payton scored 17 points and Shawn Kemp had 13 points and 15
rebounds for Seattle.
"Our problem was offensively tonight," Sonics coach George Karl said.
"Defensively, we were probably sound enough to win the game.
"Of course, it was a nightmare. A lot of times when we play the
Lakers, somehow they get us to play in a crowd a lot. They've got
great shot-blockers -- both Vlade Divac and Elden Campbell have always
given us problems. And we can't get the spacing to get Shawn the
freedom or Gary the freedom that we normally get against other
opponents."
After Detlef Schrempf hit a 12-footer to give the Sonics a 17-7 lead
early in the first quarter, Jones hit a 3-pointer to ignite a 21-4
run. Jones had 12 points in the burst, and his two free throws ended
the quarter, giving the Lakers a 28-21 lead.
Seattle pulled within 55-49 on a 15-footer by Schrempf three minutes
into the third quarter before Divac hit a six-footer to ignite a
quarter-closing 22-9 run. Magic Johnson had seven points and Anthony
Peeler made a pair from the line to give Los Angeles a 77-58 advantage
entering the fourth quarter.
"We had our chances to beat the elite teams in this league," Johnson
said. "We lost to Houston twice and Orlando by one and I think tonight
we proved to ourselves we can win the big game."
The Sonics didn't make a basket in the fourth until David Wingate's
jumper with 4:14 to go, pulling Seattle within 86-64.
Nick Van Exel scored 12 points and Divac had 11 points, eight rebounds
and four blocks for Los Angeles, which shot 44 percent (36 for 82)
from the field.
Schrempf finished with 10 points and eight rebounds for Seattle, which
lost for just the third time in 21 games and the fifth time in 32
games.
"They got us good, so we've got to come back and get them back at home
on Thursday," Schrempf said.

NETS RALLY TO STOP FEISTY GRIZZLIES, 82-77
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Shawn Bradley had 17 points, nine rebounds
and three blocks before being ejected, and Armon Gilliam had 16 points
and 10 rebounds as the New Jersey Nets handed the Vancouver Grizzlies
their 15th consecutive loss, 82-77 on Tuesday night.
Bryant Reeves and Gerald Wilkins led Vancouver with 15 points apiece.
The expansion Grizzlies continued their futility on the road, dropping
to a league-worst 3-27. Bryant "Big Country" Reeves (50) knocks a
rebound away from Shawn Bradley. Reeves pulled down 10 boards and
Bradley had nine before he was ejected.
"It's a win," New Jersey coach Butch Beard said. "It's a game we
should have won and we'll take it. Hopefully we'll play with a little
more intensity on Thursday (vs. Denver).
"It was a crazy game. We had some defensive stops down the stretch and
made some shots at the end of the game."
Bradley hit a nine-foot jumper, his only points of the second half, to
open the fourth quarter and pull the Nets within 62-61. Eric Murdock
gave the Grizzlies a 64-61 lead on a jumper before Khalid Reeves put
the Nets back within one with a layup.
Gilliam made two free throws to give New Jersey their first lead of
the final quarter, 65-64 with 8:59 left.
Bryant Reeves gave Vancouver a two-point lead with a layup and a free
throw, but Jayson Williams' jumper to tied the score at 67-67 with
7:07 left.
Bradley and Greg Anthony were ejected with 5:21 remaining when Anthony
fell on the court while chasing a loose ball and was tied up by
Bradley. After a jump ball was called, Anthony got up and pushed
Bradley with a hand to the face. Bradley retaliated with a push of his
own before both players were thrown out.
"We got tangled up," Bradley said. "He got up and threw a punch. I
just tried to keep him away."
"I didn't throw a punch," Anthony said. "I really don't know what the
heck happened. But I could tell you I didn't throw a punch. I haven't
seen a replay either."
Murdock hit a 14-foot basket to regain the lead before New Jersey's
Chris Childs tied the score at 69-69 on a layup with 4.33 left.
A putback by Ashraf Amaya gave Vancouver a 71-69 lead with 4:11
remaining. After New Jersey failed to score on its next possession,
Bryant Reeves was fouled but missed both free throws. Amaya was called
for a loose-ball foul on the second miss, and Gilliam made both free
throws to tie the score at 71-71.
Childs stole the ball on Vancouver's next possession and drove for an
uncontested layup to give the Nets the lead for good at 73-71 with
3:16 left.
Vern Fleming gave New Jersey a 75-71 lead on a layup with 2:36 left.
Blue Edwards pulled Vancouver within two on a putback with 2:10
remaining, but Fleming hit a 15-foot jumper to put the Nets back up by
four.
A tip-in by Wilkins cut the New Jersey lead to 77-75 with 1:08 left.
The Nets did not score on their next possession, but Gilliam stole a
pass by Amaya and was fouled. He made both free throws with 17 seconds
left to seal the victory.
Anthony hit a 3-pointer to open the game, but New Jersey scored the
next 14 points over the next 6:18,with Gilliam scoring six points
during the run. Vancouver went on a 9-0 run when Wilkins -- who had
seven of the nine points -- hit a 3-pointer with 3:42 remaining. New
Jersey led by four after the first quarter.
Khalid Reeves hit a 3-pointer to open the second quarter to give the
Nets a seven-point advantage. Reeves made another 3-pointer to give
the Nets their largest lead of the half, 30-21. Vancouver pulled to
within 34-31 when Rich Manning hit an 11-foot jumper with 6:53 left.
Vancouver took its first lead since scoring the first basket of the
game when Bryant Reeves hit a nine-foot hook shot to give the
Grizzlies a 57-55 lead with 1:33 remaining.
Fleming made a driving layup to tie the score, but Murdock hit a
23-footer to put Vancouver up by three. Fleming hit a jumper to pull
New Jersey within one, but Murdock made two free throws to give the
Grizzlies a 62-59 advantage entering the fourth quarter.

LAKERS SUSPEND AWOL CEBALLOS
SEATTLE -- The Los Angeles Lakers will be without leading scorer
Cedric Ceballos tonight when the team visits the Seattle SuperSonics
in a Western Conference showdown.
The Lakers suspended Ceballos indefinitely and without pay Thursday.
He missed the team's plane to Seattle on Wednesday and was not present
at Thursday morning's shootaround at the Key Arena.
Ceballos has not been seen by Lakers officials since a 94-71 victory
over Seattle at the Los Angeles Forum on Tuesday. He played just 12
minutes and had two points while shooting one for seven from the
field.
Ceballos, 26, is averaging 22.4 points and 7.3 rebounds per game. He
is in his second season with the Lakers after spending four years with
the Phoenix Suns, where he captured the 1992 Slam Dunk competition
with his blindfolded "hocus pocus" dunk.

NEW JERSEY DEVILS OWNER REPORTEDLY OFFERS TO BUY NETS
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- John McMullen, the owner of the NHL's New
Jersey Devils, reportedly offered $90 million to buy the fellow
tenants of the Continental Arena, the New Jersey Nets of the NBA.
The deal, which was reported Thursday by the New York Post, is the
most seriously considered by Nets ownership in the last 15 years.
According to the Post, a written offer was presented Friday by
McMullen.
The report stated Nets ownership was "enthusiastic" about the proposal
and also stated if the deal went through then ownership would attempt
to bring in Kentucky coach Rick Pitino to be the head coach and
general manager.
The general manager of the Devils, Lou Lamoriello, was athletic
director at Providence College when Pitino was head basketball coach
there. The pair have remained friends since and, in a certain
scenario, Lamoriello would become president of the Nets and Devils.
The report also speculated that McMullen could purchase the Nets with
the intention of moving the team to Nashville, Tenn., a move that was
rebuffed.

BULLS BEAM UP SCOTTIE FOR SHOWDOWN WITH KNICKS
CHICAGO -- Scottie Pippen, who was expected to miss up to two weeks
with injuries to his right knee and his back, was in the lineup
Thursday when the Chicago Bulls took the court to play the New York
Knicks. Pippen photo Pippen
Pippen worked out with the team Wednesday, and Bulls trainer Chip
Schaefer said the forward made "significant progress regarding the
injuries to his back, knee and ankle."
The Bulls have won all five games that Pippen has missed so far, but
the club was dealt an even more serious blow when volatile Dennis
Rodman was hit with a six-game suspension for head-butting an official
in New Jersey on Saturday.
But Pippen said neither the Knicks nor Rodman played a part in his
decision to come back early. In fact, Pippen wanted to play Tuesday
during an 89-67 victory over Sacramento, but coach Phil Jackson
decided to wait.
"I was ready to come back and that was it," he said. "I wanted to come
back the other night, but Phil felt it was a game that the team could
handle."
Michael Jordan has picked up the slack, leading the Bulls in scoring
and rebounding the last three games, but Chicago might feel they need
Pippen against the Knicks, who dealt the Bulls their worst loss of the
season, 104-72, on March 10 in New York.
Pippen add somes needed rebound strength. The Bulls have been
out-rebounded in every game since Rodman was suspended.

STACK SMACK: SIXER FINED, SUSPENDED
NEW YORK -- The NBA on Thursday fined Philadelphia 76ers rookie guard
Jerry Stackhouse $7,500 and suspended him for two games without pay
for punching Utah Jazz guard Jeff Hornacek in a game at Utah Wednesday
night.
Stackhouse was whistled for a flagrant foul against Hornacek, who was
driving for a breakaway layup with 9:39 remaining in the third quarter
of Utah's 107-84 victory. The two then exchanged words before
Stackhouse grabbed Hornacek and delivered two solid punches. Both
players were ejected from the game, resulting in an automatic $1,000
fine.
Stackhouse was the third player in four days to be suspended by the
NBA for on-court incidents.
On Monday, Chicago's Dennis Rodman was suspended for six games and
fined $20,000 for head-butting a referee, and Vancouver's Greg Anthony
was suspended for one game and fined $5,000 on Wednesday for throwing
a punch at New Jersey's Shawn Bradley.
The Stackhouse-Hornacek incident occurred 2:21 into the third period.
Stackhouse fouled Hornacek, who then turned to face the 76ers' rookie.
Stackhouse grabbed for Hornacek's throat and face and then threw
several punches that connected.
Stackhouse contended that after fouling Hornacek, the Jazz guard "came
back with an elbow at me, and then he walked up to me, and that was
it."
"I regret the whole situation; I was wrong, but it was just the heat
of the moment," Stackhouse said. "I wish I could have it all back, but
I can't."
Stackhouse, who leads all rookies in scoring with 19 points a game,
will miss games at the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday and Seattle on
Saturday.

Cleveland 98, Houston 85
HOUSTON -- Terrell Brandon scored 27 points and Tyrone Hill ignited
runs in the second and fourth quarters to lead the Cleveland Cavaliers
to a 98-85 victory over the injury-riddled Houston Rockets on Thursday.
Hill and Chris Mills each finished with 17 points for the Cavaliers,
who have won three in a row and five of their past seven games to move
within one-half game of New York for fourth place in the Eastern
Conference.
The Cavaliers shot 63 percent (37 for 59) from the field and limited
the Rockets to 44 percent (29 for 66).
Houston played its second consecutive game without superstar center
Hakeem Olajuwon, who has tendinitis in both knees. The Rockets
continue to play without All-Star Clyde Drexler and key contributors
Sam Cassell and Mario Elie.
"We're in a close race. "We didn't take them lightly at all," Brandon
said of the Rockets. "We knew they had guys out, but we saw what they
did the other night against Golden State. Coach made sure we stayed
focused."
On Tuesday, Houston's first game without Olajuwon, the Rockets went to
overtime with Golden State before losing 105-102. Power forward Mark
Bryant, who started in Olajuwon's place against Cleveland, also missed
the Golden State game because of an ankle injury.
Cleveland, which held its eighth consecutive opponent to 91 points or
less, snapped a five-game losing streak against the Rockets, winning
in Houston for the first time since Jan. 28, 1988.
"Guys who hate to lose -- they hurt when they lose -- we have a few
guys like that and they've taught some others," Cleveland coach Mike
Fratello said Thursday. "Our ball movement was good and our shot
selection was good. With Olajuwon in there, things would have been
different."
"Well, I guess you can only tread water for so long and we had a team
come in here that played a really great basketball game," Rockets
coach Rud Tomjanovich said. "They've got to be one of the smartest
teams in the league. Everything we tried, they countered. They just
had an answer.
"This was just one of those days where you have to look at the big
picture and try to stay positive."
Tracy Moore had 17 points and Sam Mack added 13 for Houston, which
dropped its third game in a row.
With the score tied 31-31 early in the second quarter, Cleveland went
on a 9-2 run to take a 40-33 lead with seven minutes left in the
quarter. Hill had five points and Bobby Phills added four in the
surge.
"We were hoping Hakeem would play," Hill said. "We were keyed up,
that's maybe why we came out so strong. We feel good right now going
down the stretch run. Everybody's clicking, we don't want to have a
collapse down the stretch like last year."
Cleveland built is advantage to 54-45 at intermission and maintained a
nine-point edge after three quarters.
The Rockets pulled within 74-66 with 10:15 left, but the Cavs scored
the next nine points to seal the victory. A short jumper by Hill and a
three-point play by Mills made it 79-66. Hill followed with a dunk and
Phills nailed a jumper, opening a 83-66 lead with 6:10 remaining.
Phills had 14 points for the Cavaliers. Each Cleveland player
connected on at least 50 percent of his shots from the floor.

KENNY WHO? CHILDS LEADS NETS PAST NUGGETS
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Point guard Chris Childs just missed a triple
double with 21 points, 11 assists and nine rebounds as the New Jersey
Nets defeated the Denver Nuggets 97-89 on Thursday, sweeping the
season series for the first time.
"I got the rebounds because they're a team that shoots a lot of
3-pointers, so there are going to be a lot of long rebpunds," Childs
said. "It is my responsibility to get them. I just try to go out there
and get everything. I don't just focus on one aspect of the game."
Childs took over as the starting point guard when New Jersey traded
Kenny Anderson to Charlotte on Jan. 19.
Armon Gilliam scored 25 points Thursday as the Nets won consecutive
games for the first time since their season-high five-game winning
streak from Feb. 13 to Feb. 21. New Jersey is in 11th-place in the
Eastern Conference, 6Ż games from the eighth and final playoff spot.
Antonio McDyess had 20 points and 12 rebounds and Dale Ellis scored 15
points as the Nuggets, who have lost nine of their past 10 road games
and four of their past six overall.
"I think that we played decent in the third quarter and in the
beginning of the fourth, but we couldn't find the basket down the
stretch," said Denver center Dikembe Mutombo, who had 14 points, 10
rebounds and eight blocks. "We didn't have enough left to finish it."
Denver is 1Ż games behind Golden State for the final playoff spot in
the Western Conference. The Nuggets have lost their last three games
against the Nets and six in a row at New Jersey.
Denver guard Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf played only six minutes before leaving
early in the second quarter with a contusion on his left foot.
"My foot is sore," Abdul-Rauf said. "It's hard to say how much time I
will be out. I didn't hurt it on any specific play. It's been sore the
last few days and it got worse tonight."
Dale Ellis made a 3-pointer with 9:09 left in the fourth quarter to
give the Nuggets their first lead, 78-75.
Gilliam then made consecutive field goals and P.J. Brown's layup
capped a 14-5 burst and gave the Nets an 89-83 advantage with 3:24
remaining. Brown finished with 14 points and Shawn Bradley had 12
points, 12 rebounds and three blocks.
Bradley has shown remarkable improvement since the Nets acquired him
in a trade with the Philadelphia 76ers.
"I definitely think that the biggest thing is the change of teams,"
Bradley said. "I guess I'm just learning the game. I'm getting some
confidence and I really developed my game. The team and organization
have made the difference."
Ellis made a 12-footer as the Nuggets closed within 92-88 with 1:43 to
go, but Gilliam answered with a three-point play.
Childs scored seven of his points, including a free throw that capped
a 13-4 run and gave the Nets a 48-33 lead with 2:01 left in the second
quarter. Bradley's eight-footer gave New Jersey its biggest lead of
the game, 61-43 with 9:30 remaining in the third.
Denver scored the last five points of the third, capped by Dale Ellis'
3-pointer to close within, 71-69.

SUNS BUILD BIG LEAD, THEN HOLD ON TO EDGE WARRIORS
PHOENIX -- Charles Barkley scored 22 points Thursday night and Danny
Manning had 21 as the Phoenix Suns dominated the second quarter and
held on for a 104-96 victory over the Golden State Warriors in the
first game of a home-and-home series.
Kevin Johnson had 17 points and 15 assists and John "Hot Rod" Williams
contributed 10 points, nine rebounds and nine blocked shots for the
Suns, who have won 21 of their past 23 home games against the
Warriors.
"Most of the time when we win I'm happy, but I'm not happy tonight,"
Suns coach Cotton Fitzsimmons said. "I really liked the way we played
about five minutes into the first quarter. We really picked it up and
kept going into the second quarter.
"I've been in the NBA long enough to know a game is never over,"
Fitzsimmons said. "Thank goodness for John Williams. What a job he did
tonight."
"We came out flat in the second half. We didn't warm up right and took
the game for granted," Williams said. "We've done that several times
this year. I guess we think the game is over once we get a lead. But I
feel like we should learn our lesson."
B.J. Armstrong scored 25 points and Kevin Willis had 21 points and 16
rebounds for Golden State, which has lost six of its past eight games.
The loss dropped the Warriors into ninth place in the Western
Conference,one-half game behind Sacramento.
"The second quarter really hurt us in a big way," Warriors coach Rick
Adelman said. "We started making runs and we just got too impatient.
Our guys showed some character in the second half but it takes a lot
of energy to come back after you fall into such an abyss."
The Warriors raced out to a 21-10 lead but the Suns ended the first
quarter on a 19-4 run, taking a 29-25 lead after one quarter. Barkley
scored nine points in the quarter and Johnson had six.
Phoenix opened the second quarter with a 30-7 run for a 59-32
advantage with 82 seconds left in the first half, before settling for
a 61-36 cushion at intermission.
Golden State hit just one of its first 15 shots in the quarter and
ended up hitting only 18 percent (four for 22) in the stanza. The Suns
outscored the Warriors 32-11 in the quarter, holding Golden State
pointless for a 3:08 span. The 36 first-half points represents a
season-low for the Warriors.
Golden State got as close as 80-69 with 3:02 left in the third
quarter, but trailed 84-71 after three.
With the score 84-71, Willis scored four points and Latrell Sprewell
hit a 3-pointer during a 9-0 run, pulling the Warriors within 84-80
with 9:17 to play. But the Suns scored eight of the next 10 points for
a 92-82 edge with 6:25 to go before Golden State scored six unanswered
points to make it 92-88 with 4:47 left.
"As a team we had a real bad letdown. We had too many turnovers, we
didn't defend. It was a combination of things," Sprewell said. "The
second half, I don't think we did anything different. We just got some
open looks and started hitting them."
The Warriors got as close as 98-94 with 58 seconds left on a jumper by
Sprewell but the Suns scored the next six points to seal the victory.
"It was a frustrating game," Barkley said. "We played a great first
half, bad second half and a strong finish. It was not a lot of fun to
play. We haven't clicked all year. It was a disappointing game, to
blow a big lead like that."
The Phoenix bench, led by Manning's 21, outscored Golden State's 45-6.

-- in his first start -- added 17 for the Lakers, who lost for just
the seventh time in 31 games. Los Angeles played without leading
scorer Cedric Ceballos, who was suspended by the team for missing the
team flight and the morning shootaround.
After Van Exel made a three-pointer to pull the Lakers within 32-30,
Perkins hit a nine-footer and David Wingate made a three-pointer to
ignite a 27-16 run. Perkins added seven more points in the burst as
the SuperSonics built a 59-46 advantage entering the half.
Payton and Kemp combined for 11 points in the third quarter as the
SuperSonics took an 82-69 lead entering the fourth.
Seattle took an 88-73 lead on Perkins' basket three minutes into the
fourth before Van Exel sparked a late Lakers' run with 11 points in
the final period.
The Lakers went on a 15-5 burst as Divac's layin pulled Los Angeles
within 93-88 with 2:19 remaining.
Detlef Schrempf hit a turnaround and Hawkins put back a missed shot to
give Seattle a 97-88 advantage with 1:45 to go. Van Exel drilled a
three-pointer to close the Lakers to 97-91, but Kemp sank three free
throws to seal the game with 44 seconds left.
Schrempf added 16 points and eight rebounds for Seattle, which shot 42
per cent (32-of-76) from the field but held a 43-31 rebounding edge
and made 33-of-35 free throws in improving to 30-3 at home. Seattle
beat the Lakers for just the fourth time in 13 meetings and outscored
the Lakers by a 14-0 margin on the fastbreak.
Johnson had seven rebounds in a season-high 39 minutes and Elden
Campbell scored 12 points for Los Angeles, which shot 46 per cent
(32-of-69) and committed 20 turnovers that led to 29 points for the
Sonics. The Lakers lost on road for just the second time in 13 games.

BULLS 10 AWAY FROM 70 WINS AFTER BLASTING KNICKS
CHICAGO -- Michael Jordan scored 36 points and grabbed 11 rebounds to
lead the Chicago Bulls to their 60th victory of the season, a 107-86
rout of the New York Knicks on Thursday night.
Chicago took control of the game with a 20-1 run to end the first
half.
All-Star forward Scottie Pippen returned to the Bulls lineup after
missing five games with a sore lower back and tendinitis of the left
knee. He played 26 minutes and had six points and six rebounds.
The Bulls are an astounding 60-7 and need to win just 10 of their
final 15 regular-games to set the NBA record for victories in a single
season.
The Bulls avenged their worse loss of the season, a 104-72 rout by the
New York Knicks on March 10.
"I had in my mind tonight that we were going to win this game," Jordan
said Thursday. "I was going to do everything I could to make sure we
did. Our guys played really good, especially outrebounding them."
"Tonight, we got a great defensive effort from our team and Michael
refused to lose this game," Bulls coach Phil Jackson said. "I could
tell all day by the way Michael was carrying himself at practice that
he wanted to send a message to New York, telling them that what
happened there in the last game against them was not going to happen
again."
The Bulls held a 57-33 rebounding advantage. Besides Jordan's 11, Toni
Kukoc grabbed 10 boards and John Salley had eight.
The Bulls also took the lead from the Orlando Magic in the race for
the best homecourt winning streaks in NBA history. Chicago is 34-0 at
home this season and Orlando is 33-0 at home. The previous record for
a homecourt winning streak at the start of a season was 27 games by
the 1946-47 Washington Capitols.
Chicago's overall home winning streak is at 41 consecutive games,
dating back to last season. Their last regular-season loss in Chicago
was 106-99 against Orlando on March 24, 1995, 362 days ago.
Orlando's current home winning streak is 40 games. The previous
record-holder was Boston, which won 38 in a row from Dec. 10, 1985, to
Nov. 28, 1986.
Jordan and Salley scored six points apiece during a 17-0 run which
opened a 58-40 lead for the Bulls in the second half. By the end of
the half, the Bulls had compiled a 20-1 run.
"They just blew us out in that one sequence of the second quarter.
That 17-0 run broke our back," New York center Patrick Ewing said. "We
tried to fight back, but it was too big of a lead."
The loss snapped New York's four-game winning streak under new coach
Jeff Van Gudy. Ewing led the Knicks with 20 points.
"They just outplayed us tonight," Van Gundy said. "They outrebounded
us, outhustled us. They played an outstanding game."
A dunk by Jordan with 10:18 left in the third quarter increased
Chicago's lead to 65-44. Chicago held a 79-60 advantage after three
quarters.
The Bulls led by as many as 30 points, 102-72 with 3:55 left.
Salley and Kukoc had 12 points apiece for Chicago. Derek Harper scored
13 points for the Knicks.

Tvoja procena - na zapadu ... ko ulazi u play-off? Portland je praktično sad
siguran učesnik, kao i Phoenix, a za 8. mesto bore se Sacramento (to, to ;),
Golden State i Denver. U principu, tipujem na Golden State, pošto stvarno
ima najbolju ekipu od ovih, ali mi nikako nije jasno zašto tako loše igraju.
Isto pitanje za istok - za 8. mesto bore se Šarlot i Majami. A i Atlanta se
mnogo srozala. Ima samo 2 pobede više od Šarlota ... Biće ovo foto-finiš :)

BULLETS' WALLACE SUFFERS FRACTURED THUMB
LANDOVER, Md. -- The Washington Bullets, who always seem to be
decimated by injuries to key players, lost rookie forward-center
Rasheed Wallace to a fractured left thumb in the second quarter of
Friday's 111-108 overtime loss to the Orlando Magic.
Wallace is averaging 10.1 points and 4.7 rebounds per game for the
Bullets, who have lost Chris Webber for the season and have played
most of the year without point guard Mark Price.
Wallace apparently injured the thumb when going for a rebound with
7:44 left in the second quarter.
The fourth overall pick in the NBA draft, Wallace hit the game-winning
shot in the rookie game during the All-Star break and has averaged
better than 11 points and nearly six rebounds per contest over the
past two months.

ABDUL-RAUF OUT FOR TWO GAMES WITH FOOT INJURY
DENVER -- Denver Nuggets guard Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf will miss the next
two games with a left foot injury sustained Thursday night during a
game at New Jersey.
The Nuggets are in Boston on Friday night, but Abdul-Rauf returned to
Denver to have his foot examined. He also will miss Sunday's game at
Washington.
Abdul-Rauf, 27, also has been bothered by a right ankle injury which
kept him out of four games earlier this month.
Abdul-Rauf, a devout Muslim, grabbed national attention when he
refused to stand for the national anthem before NBA games and was
suspended for one game by the league on March 12.
He originally said he would quit basketball rather than observe the
NBA rule which requires players, coaches and trainers to stand during
the anthem. However, he relented, saying he would pray during the
anthem, and the NBA lifted the suspension.
Abdul-Rauf was born Chris Jackson in Gulfport, Miss. He converted to
Islam five years ago and in 1993 changed his name, which means
"elegant and praiseworthy, most merciful, most kind."
The former Louisiana State star is averaging 19.2 points per game this
season and is making 93 percent of his free throws, best in the NBA.

WARRIORS TO PLAY IN SAN JOSE DURING ARENA RENOVATION
OAKLAND, Calif. -- The Golden State Warriors announced an agreement to
play their home games at the San Jose Arena next season while their
arena in Oakland is being renovated.
The current capacity of the Oakland Coliseum Arena is 15,025, smallest
in the NBA.
The Warriors originally planned on playing in the Cow Palace in San
Francisco next season, but the team was unable to reach a deal with
the facility, which was home to the NBA team from 1962 to 1971.
The Warriors instead reached a deal with the National Hockey League's
San Jose Sharks and the San Jose Arena Management.
"It was imperative that during our one season away from Oakland that
the home schedule be accommodating to our fans," Warriors owner
Christopher Cohan said Friday. "The San Jose Sharks have been very
cooperative in this regard."
The Warriors recently reached an agreement in principle with the
Oakland Coliseum Board of Directors that will keep the team in the
Coliseum Arena, which will undergo a $121 million renovation.
The renovation includes nearly 4,200 more seats, 72 luxury suites,
3,000 club seats on a private concourse level and will be partially
funded by "seat rights" fees for up to 7,500 season-ticket holders.
The renovation will begin at the end of this season.
The renovated arena will be operated by the Coliseum. The Warriors
will pay $1.5 million annually in rent for 20 years and will have four
five-year options to extend their lease for an additional 20 years.
The team also will contribute up to $7.4 million annually from the
sale of luxury suites, courtside seating and club seats.
The seat-rights plan will be attached to about 7,500 seats in the
lower sections of the arena and will be offered first to current
season-ticket holders. The plans are for 10 years or the lifetime of
the arena and will be priced at an average of $2,500 each. The sale of
seats rights is expected to raise $19 million.

SIXERS' JERRY STACKHOUSE APOLOGIZES FOR PUNCHING HORNACEK
Philadelphia 76ers rookie Jerry Stackhouse today apologized for
punching Jazz guard Jeff Hornacek in a game at Utah Wednesday night,
calling his actions "inexcusable" and "an embarrassment".
"I would like to take this time to apologize to my teammates, the Utah
Jazz, the NBA, and most importantly, the fans of Philadelphia for my
actions on Wednesday," Stackhouse said in a statement released by the
team. "What I did was inexcusable and was an embarrassment for all
concerned. It was against all the principles that I as a person and
the NBA as a league stand for. I view this as a learning experience
and I will work my hardest to make sure it never happens again."
The National Basketball Association Thursday fined Stackhouse $7,500
and suspended him for two games without pay as a result of the
incident.
Stackhouse was whistled for a flagrant foul against Hornacek, who was
driving for a breakaway layup with 9:39 remaining in the third quarter
of Utah's 107-84 victory. The two then exchanged words before
Stackhouse grabbed Hornacek and delivered a pair of solid punches.
Both players were ejected from the game, resulting in an automatic
$1,000 fine.
After the foul, Hornacek and Stackhouse exchanged words and Stackhouse
began swinging at Hornacek. Hornacek was also ejected for retaliation.
Stackhouse will miss tonight's game at Los Angeles against the
Clippers and will complete the suspension Saturday at Seattle.

MAGIC ACTIVATE GUARD BRIAN SHAW
The Orlando Magic activated guard Brian Shaw before tonight's game at
Washington.
Shaw was placed on the injured list March 10th due to severe
tendinitis in his right wrist.
Shaw, who shares the single-game record for most three-point field
goals made in one game with 10, has played in 61 games this season,
averaging 6.5 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.1 assists.
Shaw was signed as an unrestricted free agent by Orlando on September
22, 1994. He played a total of two-and-a-half seasons with Boston
before being dealt to the Miami Heat for guard Sherman Douglas in
January of 1992. Shaw also played in the Italian League during the
1989-90 season.

Atlanta 117, Charlotte 92
Steve Smith scored 15 of his 27 points in the third quarter as the
Atlanta Hawks cruised to a 117-92 victory over the Charlotte Hornets.
The Hawks led, 57-54, with 9 1/2 minutes left in the third period
before making an 18-4 run to blow open the game. Smith had seven
points in the spurt, including two free throws on Charlotte coach
Allan Bristow's second technical foul with 4:04 left, to make it
75-59.
Grant Long and Mookie Blaylock each added 16 points for Atlanta, which
had lost five of its previous six road games. Stacey Augmon chipped in
15 points and Christian Laettner had 14 points and 11 rebounds for
Atlanta.
"There was no way we would look past this game, Charlotte is a good
team," Laettner said. "Charlotte is a great team with good shooters
but we played tough defense and hardly had any turnovers. We must now
look on towards another win."
Larry Johnson recorded 20 points, eight boards and six assists and
Glen Rice had 18 points for Charlotte, which has lost consecutive
games after winning four straight. The Hornets have dropped three of
four meetings with Atlanta this season.
"It's the second game in a row now that we've come out with no
energy," Bristow said. "There's reason for concern. It's the same
lathargic play. Maybe it's because of the day off. That didn't help.
We need some solutions fast because we go on the road next. Sometimes
I think we forget how hard we need to play to win games."
Charlotte trailed, 85-71, after three quarters and Matt Geiger's layup
narrowed the deficit to 92-79 with 8:45 to play, the closest the
Hornets got. Atlanta countered with a 13-2 surge, which included five
points from Craig Ehlo, to extend the advantage to 105-81 with 5:15
remaining.
Blaylock also dished out 11 assists for Atlanta, which committed just
10 turnovers and won the rebounding battle, 46-31. Ehlo and Reggie
Jordan tallied 10 points apiece off the bench for Atlanta, which
remained a half-game behind Detroit for sixth place in the Eastern
Conference.
"These games are important to them as they are to us, so we came in
here very focused and we worked hard in practice," Hawks coach Lenny
Wilkins said. "Our goal is to win fourth place so that we can have
home court advantage. Steve (Smith) has been playing tremendous for
us. He is pushing the tempo and looking for his shots."
Charlotte's Robert Parish eclipsed the 23,000-point mark on a free
throw with nine minutes left in the third quarter. Hornets point guard
Kenny Anderson missed his third straight game and sixth in the last
eight games due to a sprained right ankle.

Utah 88, Cleveland 75
Karl Malone had 27 points and 12 rebounds to lead the Utah Jazz to an
88-75 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The win was the third in a row for the Jazz, who remained 1 1/2 games
behind first-place San Antonio in the Midwest Division.
Terrell Brandon led Cleveland with 22 points. The loss snapped the
Cavaliers' three-game winning streak.
The Jazz opened the second half with an 11-2 run to take a 53-45 lead.
David Benoit hit a three-pointer and a layup and John Stockton added a
jumper and a pair of free throws in the spurt.
"Utah came out in the second half and turned it up a notch," said
Cavaliers coach Mike Fratello. "If you're going to have a chance of
winning against them, one thing you have to do is eliminate the number
of easy scores they get, and they had too many layups against us
tonight."
Utah outscored Cleveland, 25-13, in the third quarter to take a 67-56
advantage.
"In the second half, I thought the whole team hustled a little bit
more than we did in the first half," said Jazz coach Jerry Sloan. "But
they got all of the hustle plays in the first half and we didn't get
any. I didn't know if we were going to have the same kind of game that
we've had here lately, and not compete, but it looked like we competed
a lot better in the second half."
The Jazz then opened the fourth quarter with a 10-2 run to open a
77-58 lead. Malone scored six points in the run.
Jeff Hornacek had 16 points and Benoit finished with 11 for Utah.
"We made the effort to go out there in the second half and try to push
it and run with it," said Hornacek. "We got a couple of fast breaks
early, then they seemed to get us back into that lull, and then I
think a big block by David (Benoit) got us going again."
Cleveland shot just 35 per cent from the field for the game, including
4-of-16 from three-point range. Tyrone Hill had 11 points and 11
rebounds and Danny Ferry added 11 points for the Cavaliers.

Boston 99, Denver 98
Greg Minor's basket in the lane from a midcourt pass off the backboard
by Rick Fox as time expired lifted the Boston Celtics to a 99-98
victory over the Denver Nuggets.
A three-point jumper by Reggie Williams with four-tenths of a second
left had given Denver a 98-97 lead.
Since it is impossible to get a shot off with three-tenths of a second
left in the N-B-A, the Celtics still had a slim chance to win the
game. And on the ensuing inbounds play, Fox fired a pass from midcourt
off the backboard. Minor grabbed the carom and quickly flicked an
eight-footer through the basket to give Boston the win. "On the last
play, I actually called for Rick to alley-oop, but he actually came up
with a suggestion of his own," said Celtics coach M.L. Carr.
"Something he learned at North Carolina, throw it off the glass. I
guess I'm going to make him assistant coach."
"I was basically trying to make one shot, whatever shot I could," said
Minor. "Rick called the play because they were expecting a lob. I just
followed through. Thank God it went in."
The Nuggets were incensed that referee Ronnie Nunn did not call for a
delay of game when Denver did not give Fox the mandatory five feet to
inbound the ball.
"The only problem I got with the way it turned out was with the
official who refused to call delay of game," said Nuggets coach Bernie
Bickerstaff. "I felt great for Reggie and then that play happens. This
puts an exclamation on our season and the way it's gone so far."
"That ref refused to call delay of game," said Nuggets center Dikembe
Mutombo. "Even when Fox pointed it out to him, the official said I'm
not going to make that call, just inbound it. That just tells you what
this league is all about."
"It's a good thing I didn't wait for the official to call it because
the five-second count was on and he wasn't going to call it," said
Fox.
Minor scored a season-high 24 points. David Wesley also had 24 points
for the Celtics.
Dale Ellis led Denver with 27 points on 12-of-16 shooting from the
field.
Williams finished with 15 points for the Nuggets.
Denver held an 87-82 lead after a fadeaway jumper by Antonio McDyess
with six-and-a-half minutes left. But the Celtics went on a 10-2 run
over the next three-and-a-half minutes to take a 92-89 advantage. Dee
Brown and Wesley each hit three-pointers in the run.
After Wesley made one of two free throws with 6.4 seconds left to give
Boston a 97-95 lead, Williams hit the three-pointer to give Denver the
lead.
The Celtics played without starting center Eric Montross, who has a
severely sprained left ankle.
Denver played without guard Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf, who suffered a foot
injury in Thursday's game at New Jersey.

Walt Williams scored 23 points, including a 6-for-6 performance from
three-point range, and Chris Gatling added 23 as the Miami Heat won
their third straight with a 122-106 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks.
Alonzo Mourning had 21 points and 13 rebounds, Tim Hardaway had 19
points and 13 assists and Rex Chapman scored 10 of his 20 points in
the third quarter for Miami, which pulled one-half game ahead of the
Charlotte Hornets in the race for the final playoff spot in the
Eastern Conference. The Heat won for the seventh time in nine games.
"At the beginning of the game, we took them lightly and did not play
defense as well as we should have," Mourning admitted. "We capitalized
off their mistakes and executed well. Our defense kicked in during the
third quarter and we didn't look back."
This was the first meeting between the teams, who play each other
three more times between tonight and April 19th. Miami has won 11
straight games against the Bucks since a 109-87 loss on January 28th,
1993.
Vin Baker scored 23 points and Glenn Robinson added 20, 10 assists and
eight rebounds for Milwaukee, which lost its 10th straight. Terry
Cummings added 16 points and 10 rebounds for the Bucks, who have not
win since a 110-106 home win over Atlanta on March 2nd. Milwaukee has
lost 17 of their last 19 games.
"This is a tough situation, but sometimes it's hard to figure out
what's going on out on the court," Baker said. "Hopefully we can
maintain confidence in ourselves and continue to pick up our
teammates. This is definitely a frustrating time."
After Robinson hit a jumper to give the Bucks a 79-72 lead five
minutes into the third quarter, Williams made a three-pointer to
ignite a 10-0 run. Mourning followed with a seven-foot hook, Chapman
hit a three-pointer and Mourning dunked to give the Heat an 82-79 lead
with 5:09 left in the third.
"We were concerned about meeting a team with a long losing streak like
the Bucks because we knew we couldn't underestimate what they might do
tonight," said Heat coach Pat Riley, who has never missed the playoffs
in his 13 previous seasons. "Our key time was in the third quarter
when....Rex Chapman really came through for us."
After Benoit Benjamin made a 14-foot jumper to close Milwaukee within
85-83, Gatling hit an eight-foot hook as Miami built a 90-83
advantage. Williams made a free throw and Mourning dunked to give the
Heat a seven-point lead with 2:40 remaining in the third. Milwaukee
pulled within 99-90 as Benjamin put back a missed shot 80 seconds into
the fourth quarter. But Miami answered with a 7-0 run to put the game
away. Gatling's basket started the burst, Hardaway followed with a
free throw, Williams sank a pair from the line and Mourning gave the
Heat a 106-90 bulge with a vicious dunk three minutes into the period.
Gatling made 11-of-16 shots from the field and added 12 rebounds for
Miami, which shot 51 per cent (43-of-85) -- including a 12-for-20
performance from three-point range -- and held a 47-40 rebounding
edge.
Benjamin finished with 15 points and Sherman Douglas had 13 and six
assists for Milwaukee, which shot 48 per cent (45-of-93) and committed
18 turnovers that led to 23 points for the Heat.

Isaiah Rider poured in 31 points and Tom Gugliotta added 26 points and
17 rebounds as the Minnesota Timberwolves handed the Dallas Mavericks
their ninth straight defeat with a 110-84 win.
Minnesota took command of the game by embarking on a 14-2 run with
nine minutes left in the third quarter. Gugliotta and Rider each
scored six in the spurt, which made it 73-53 with 4:11 left. The
Mavericks closed out the quarter with an 8-1 burst to cut the deficit
to 76-64, but that's the closest they got.
Kevin Garnett chipped in 15 points and 10 boards for Minnesota, which
had lost five of its last seven games. The Wolves have an 8-11 record
against Midwest foes this season, but are 4-0 against Dallas.
"I think for us it was fairly impressive considering that two of our
top six guys are not even dressed up," Minnesota coach Flip Saunders
said. "It was a team effort, we played with a lot of energy. We
matched up pretty well against them and Rider has played really well
the last two games."
George McCloud tallied 22 points and Popeye Jones had 15 points and 10
rebounds for Dallas, which last won on March 5th against New Jersey.
Jason Kidd registered 10 points, nine rebounds and seven assists for
the Mavericks.
"There's been a lot of funny things this year, and some not-so-funny
things this year," Dallas coach Dick Motta said. "We have no one to
post up, we didn't do a good job on Isaiah Rider. We get 30 offensive
rebounds and I bet we didn't get five points off them. People say
we're not hustling, they're just not looking. Jason (Kidd) is all over
the place, I would say that we had trouble shooting tonight and
turnovers hurt us tonight; it was a big thing. Gugliotta killed us.
When he wasn't, Isaiah was."
Gugliotta and Rider each netted four points and Terry Porter converted
a basket as the Timberwolves opened the fourth period with a 10-2
spree to widen the margin to 86-66 with 6:29 to play. Dallas didn't
hit its first field goal of the quarter until the 5:57 mark.
Sam Mitchell added 14 points off the bench and Porter had seven and
seven assists for Minnesota, which scored 60 points in the paint,
compared to 22 for Dallas.
"The majority of their wins one year ago were against us," Rider said.
"We're just trying to end up strong, you have to go out with a bang. I
just want to go out into the summer saying that I had a better year
this year than last year."
Scott Brooks netted 10 points and Lorenzo Williams grabbed eight
rebounds for Dallas, which shot a miserable 30 per cent from the field
(30-for-100), including 27 per cent from three-point range (8-of-29).
Jim Jackson was 2-for-12 for just five points.

Grant Hill scored 26 points and Terry Mills added 19 as the Detroit
Pistons snapped a two-game losing streak with a 111-96 victory over
the New Jersey Nets.
Otis Thorpe scored 18 points for Detroit, which won for the sixth time
in eight games and is 16-8 in its last 24 contests. Hill added nine
rebounds and Mills eight for the Pistons, who temporarily moved within
a half-game of Cleveland in the race for the fifth playoff spot in the
Eastern Conference.
"It was an excellent win for us," Pistons coach Doug Collins said. "I
think we got out of sync early with foul trouble, but Grant (Hill) was
great in the second half and Joe Dumars was tremendous. Joe only took
five shots, but what he did on the floor was tremendous. Last time we
played them, I think they had 26 offensive rebounds, and tonight we
held them to eight."
"We wanted to get back to our winning ways," Mills said. "Coach
(Collins) told me during the timeout to keep shooting and it would
eventually pay off."
Chris Childs scored 16 points and Jayson Williams and Vern Fleming
each added 13 for New Jersey, which fell to 9-26 on the road. With his
seventh point in the first quarter, Fleming became the 200th player in
N-B-A history to reach the 10,000-point mark.
"When you're not a very good ballclub, everything has to go the way
you want it to go," Nets coach Butch Beard. "They had the better team
out there tonight. They are a very good defensive ballclub."
The Pistons took a 32-26 lead entering the second quarter behind
Houston's 10 points and expanded their lead to 61-51 at the half
behind Houston's 15.
Hill opened the third quarter with a layup, Thorpe followed with an
11-footer and Hill made another layup as the Pistons scored the first
six points of the half to give Detroit a 67-51 lead.
Detroit settled for an 83-71 advantage entering the third quarter.
Hill, Houston and Joe Dumars (10 points) each handed out five assists
for Detroit, which shot 52 per cent (39-of-75) from the field,
including 8-of-14 from behind the arc.
Childs added eight assists and Williams had seven rebounds for New
Jersey, which shot 50 per cent (35-of-70) but committed 22 turnovers
that le to 27 points for the PIstons.
"We just have to get out of that third quarter," Williams said. "The
third quarter's been killing us all year."
The Nets scored 20 points in the third quarter for the first time in
six games. They were outscored for the sixth straight time in the
quarter (22-20) and have been out-pointed 148-101 in the 12 minutes
following intermission during that span.

SHAQ-FU TEACHES BIG GHEORGHE A LESSON
LANDOVER, Md. -- Shaquille O'Neal scored a season-high 49 points and
Penny Hardaway netted 30, including five in the final two minutes of
overtime, as the Orlando Magic edged the Washington Bullets 111-108
on Friday for their fifth consecutive victory.
O'Neal, who was 20 of 41 from the floor, added 17 rebounds for
Orlando, which has won four straight on the road. The Magic improved
to 17-2 against Atlantic Division rivals this season.
"I took advantage of them not doubling me," O'Neal said. "My job is to
pack them down and make baskets. The guys are tired but we're playing
well despite that. It's nice to steal some (wins) on the road."
Orlando coach Brian Hill credited his two All-Stars. "Both my star
players stepped up today," Hill said. "I'm very proud of the team for
hanging in. We knew Washington had been playing great at home. I'm
happy to escape here victorious."
It was a costly loss for Washington, which lost rookie Rasheed Wallace
to a fractured left thumb in the second quarter. The fourth pick
overall in the June draft, Wallace suffered the injury going for a
rebound.
Juwan Howard led the Bullets with 30 points and eight rebounds.
Washington remained 3 1/2 games behind the Charlotte Hornets for the
eighth and final playoff berth in the Eastern Conference.
"They (Orlando) made some big plays at crunchtime," Bullets coach Jim
Lynam said. "We couldn't get key baskets when we needed them.
"Yes, I'm mad," Washington center Gheorghe Muresan said when asked
about O'Neal's performance. "I don't like Shaq dunking in my face.
Next time, I will stop him."
The Magic have won 10 of the last 12 games between the teams and are
17-11 against Washington all-time.
Howard hit a pair of free throws with 18.4 seconds left in regulation
to knot the game for Washington. Orlando had a chance to win in
regulation, but Dennis Scott missed a 3-point attempt at the buzzer.
In overtime, Muresan's basket with 2:44 left knotted the score at
105-105. But Hardaway hit a consecutive baskets and added a free throw
for a five-point Magic advantage with 13.4 seconds remaining.
Chris Whitney hit a 3-pointer with 6.2 seconds to go, cutting the
deficit to 110-108. Brian Shaw, who was activated prior to the game,
sank a free throw with 3.4 seconds remaining for a 3-point lead. The
Bullets had a chance to tie the game again, but Tim Legler's
half-court shot at the buzzer rimmed out.
Hardaway was 13 of 20 from the field and added seven assists for the
Magic, who got 10 points and 11 rebounds from Horace Grant.
"They were tough the whole game," Hardaway said. "I want the ball in
my hands when it's close like this. I want to be the man. I try to do
that every game."
Whitney finished with 19 points as six Bullets scored in double
figures.

Brian Williams recorded 24 points and 11 rebounds and Rodney Rogers
scored 22, including 12 in a decisive third-quarter run, to lead the
Los Angeles Clippers to a 107-93 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers.
Trailing 57-53 with 7:45 left in the third, the Clippers took control
by closing out the quarter with a 25-4 run. Rogers had 12 points, Loy
Vaught netted eight and Williams five as Los Angeles took a 78-61 lead
into the fourth period.
Vaught scored 16 of his 18 points in the second half and grabbed 12
rebounds for the Clippers, who have won eight of their last 13 games.
Los Angeles has won the last three meetings with the Sixers, including
a 104-102 decision at Philadelphia on March 10th.
"Coach Fitch just got on our cases and it sparked us," Vaught said.
"It's really fun now, we understand how to win and when we lose we
understand why we lose, we're really growing here. It's actually fun
to come down to the gym. We're expecting to win, instead of expecting
to lose."
Vernon Maxwell tallied 27 points and Clarence Weatherspoon had 24 and
12 boards for the Sixers, who have dropped six games in a row. The
team was playing without starting guard Jerry Stackhouse, who was
fined $7,500 and suspended for two games without pay Thursday for
punching Jazz guard Jeff Hornacek in Wednesday night's game.
"We had a very good first half and it seems like we just ran out of
gas," Philadelphia coach John Lucas said. "They just wore us down on
the inside and we couldn't shoot from the outside. We always have a
stretch like that (25-4 run) where we have trouble scoring."
The Clippers took their biggest lead of the contest with eight minutes
to play when Williams' dunk made it 89-68. Philadelphia was able to
chip away and get as close as 96-84 on Weatherspoon's two free throws
with 3:48 remaining.
Terry Dehere added 13 points and six assists off the bench for Los
Angeles, which shot 51 per cent from the field (44-for-86) and 81 per
cent from the free throw line (13-of-16). Starting guards Pooh
Richardson and Malik Sealy combined for just nine points.
"We had a great game from Rodney tonight," Clippers coach Bill Fitch
said. "When we were struggling, he came up with some great plays.
Having the forwards banging the boards like they did tonight made it a
lot easier."
Trevor Ruffin tallied 13 points and Tony Massenburg pulled down 11
rebounds for Philadelphia, which shot 41 per cent from the floor
(33-for-81) and committed 20 turnovers and 22 personal fouls.

Sacramento 80, Portland 78
Brian Grant's 12-footer snapped a tie with 4.3 seconds left and Duane
Causwell blocked a shot as time ran out to help the Sacramento Kings
defeat the Portland Trail Blazers, 80-78, in a battle for the seventh
playoff spot in the Western Conference.
Grant finished with 18 points and 12 rebounds, Mitch Richmond scored
19 points and Tyus Edney handed out six assists for Sacramento
(30-36), which pulled within 1 1/2 games of the Trail Blazers.
"This was a great game tonight," Richmond said. "Both teams were
playing great defense and it came down to the wire. They were playing
tough. They are a big, physical team and we played physical right
along with them."
"I told our guys before the game that this Portland team is the
biggest, toughest and most physical team in the west," Kings coach
Garry St. Jean said. "We had a lot of guys get banged up in there, but
everyone of our guys gave us one hundred and ten percent."
Clifford Robinson scored 15 points, Arvydas Sabonis added 14 points
and 12 rebounds, and Rod Strickland had 13 points and seven assists
for Portland (32-35), which had its six-game winning streak snapped
and dropped to 12-21 on the road.
Lionel Simmons inbounded the ball to Grant, who drained a jumper from
between the baseline and the wing for an 80-78 edge. Strickland
received the inbounds but had his shot rejected by Causwell to end the
game.
Richmond hit a three-pointer to give the Kings a 78-74 lead before a
five-footer by Robinson and a 14-footer by Aaron McKie tied the game
at 78-78 with 29 seconds remaining.
"It was a good play by them," admitted Trail Blazers coach P.J.
Carlesimo, in reference to Grant's winning shot. "They squeezed off a
couple of our guys and were able to get Grant an open shot.
"I thought it was good defense and Strickland thought it was good "d".
It was a playoff game in the way that both teams played so hard."
The Kings raced out to an 18-3 lead as Richmond scored six points, and
Grant's five-footer gave Sacramento a 15-point bulge just 5:30 into
the game.
But the Trail Blazers stormed back as Robinson made a three-pointer to
ignite a quarter-closing 15-1 run. Robinson scored seven ponts in the
burst as McKie's layup with three seconds left tied the game at 23-23.
The Kings carried a 46-44 laed into the half behind Grant's 10 points.
Portland grabbed a 66-65 edge into the fourth quarter behind Sabonis'
14 points.
Causwell had seven rebounds and four rejections and Olden Polynice
grabbed eight boards for Sacramento, which shot just 34 per cent
(27-of-79) but forced 22 turnovers in winning for the fifth time in
eight games and improving to 19-13 at home.
Chris Dudley had 13 rebounds and four blocked shots for Portland,
which shot 36 per cent (29-of-81) and made 17-of-28 free throws in
losing to the Kings for the third time in four meetings this season.

TWELVE IN A ROW FOR SPURS
TORONTO -- Sean Elliott scored 10 of his 24 points in a 14-3 third
quarter run to lead the San Antonio Spurs to their 12th straight win
on Friday, a 120-108 victory over the Toronto Raptors.
David Robinson had 24 points and Will Perdue netted 18 for the Spurs,
who improved to 48-18.
"In the first half, we didn't play any defense," Robinson said. "The
third quarter was the turning point. We started getting the ball up
and down the floor and getting offensive rebounds. The team is still
working on some consistency. But tonight we took a step backwards."
Tracy Murray led Toronto with 29 points, including 23 in the first
half. Damon Stoudamire collected 23 points and 13 assists for the
Raptors.
"I think we came out slow, not hitting the shots, and they came out
fast and hit every shot," Stoudamire said. "It went from a four-point
game to a 20-point game in a four-minute span. They're a team that's
clicking on all cylinders."
San Antonio started its current franchise-record winning streak with a
120-95 rout of the Raptors on Feb. 29.
The Spurs started the third quarter with a 14-3 run to take a 75-60
lead. Elliott hit a pair of 3-pointers among his 10 points in the run.
San Antonio held a 93-76 advantage after three quarters.
"The first half the two teams traded baskets. We executed on offense
well but we were disinterested in playing defense," said San Antonio
coach Bob Hill. "The first unit did a good job in the third quarter.
We just got away from them and the game was over. It was just a matter
of time. I think you give us a few more games and as we move on, we'll
get better and better. The chemistry on this team might be the best
I've ever coached."
San Antonio led by as many as 26 points, 106-80, after a basket by
Perdue with 8:13 left. Perdue was eight for eight from the field.
"We couldn't buy a basket in the third quarter," Murray said. "They
have a lot of offensive weapons. I don't think they have as many as
Chicago, so it doesn't get any easier for us. We're always fighting to
get back in the game regardless."

Indiana 111, Vancouver 94
Reggie Miller scored 23 points and Rik Smits added 17 as they keyed a
huge run that bridged the second and third quarters as the Indiana
Pacers handed the struggling Vancouver Grizzlies their 17th straight
loss with a 111-94 victory.
Derrick McKey scored 14 of his 19 points in the first half, Dale Davis
added 12 points and 10 rebounds and Mark Jackson handed out 10 assists
for Indiana, which snapped its two-game losing streak and won for just
the third time in nine games.
The Pacers increased their lead over New York to 1 1/2 games in the
race for the all-important third playoff spot in the Eastern
Conference. The Pacers' spot is a key one, ensuring them of a spot in
the bracket that does not include the conference's first seed -- all
but clinched by Chicago -- until the Conference Finals should both
teams get there.
Bryant Reeves scored 19 points and Blue Edwards added 15 for
Vancouver, which has not won since a 93-86 win over the Sacramento
Kings on February 14th. The Grizzlies lost 19 straight after winning
their first two of the season.
After Vancouver's Anthony Avent hit a nine-footer to tie the game at
46-46, Smits made a free throw and dunked to ignite a 33-12 run. Smits
scored nine points in the spree. Miller, who scored 10 points in the
burst, gave the Pacers a 62-48 halftime lead with a three-pointer.
Haywoode Workman nailed a 16-footer to cap the run and give Indiana a
79-58 bulge with 5:11 left in the third quarter.
Vancouver pulled within 100-86 on Avent's jumper midway through the
fourth quarter. But Miller made a 15-footer and Travis Best sank one
free throw to seal the game.
McKey shot 8-of-10 from the field and Smits was 8-of-12 for Indiana,
which shot 61 per cent (44-of-72) from the floor and held a 42-30
rebounding edge to improve to 25-7 at home. The Pacers play nine of
their final 15 games at home.
Wilkens scored 12 points and Greg Anthony added 11 and nine assists
for Vancouver, which was swept in the season series.

BULLETS' WALLACE LIKELY OUT FOR SEASON
LANDOVER, Md. -- The Washington Bullets, who always seem to be
decimated by injuries to key players, appear to have lost rookie
forward-center Rasheed Wallace for the remainder of the season.
Wallace suffered a fractured left thumb in the second quarter of
Friday's 111-108 overtime loss to the Orlando Magic.
"He's talking about playing in a soft cast, but I don't think that's
realistic," Washington general manager John Nash said Saturday. "I
think we're going to have to rule him out for at least the next
several weeks.''
Wallace, the fourth overall pick in the NBA draft, is averaging 10.1
points and 4.7 rebounds per game for the Bullets, who have lost Chris
Webber for the season after shoulder surgery and have played most of
the year without point guard Mark Price, who is nursing a fractured
bone in his left foot.
Wallace apparently injured the thumb when going for a rebound with
7:44 left in the second quarter.
The Bullets have the maximum three players on the injured list. Guard
Robert Pack, out since Jan. 8 with a damaged nerve in his left leg,
could return to practice in 10-14 days.
"We've had a rough stretch of luck,'' Nash admitted. "But tomorrow is
another opportunity for someone else to step forward and play well.''
Pack may be activated from the disabled list to make room for Wallace,
although the Bullets will likely search for another forward to fill
the roster.

KINGS ROOKIE MCDANIEL DAZED AFTER PRACTICE COLLISION
SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Sacramento Kings guard Clint McDaniel suffered a
severe concussion in a fall at Saturday's team practice at ARCO Arena.
McDaniel was unconscious for 10 to 15 minutes following the fall. He
was taken by ambulance to the UC Davis Medical Center where he will
undergo a CAT scan and observation over the next 24 hours.
"McDaniel was responsive and able to exhibit movement in both his
hands and feet upon leaving Arco Arena,'' the team's statement said.
McDaniel was going up for a layup when guard Sarunas Marciulionis
tried to block the shot, said team spokeswoman Andrea Lepore.
McDaniel, a member of the Arkansas Razorbacks team that won the
national championship in 1994 and made the finals last year, is
averaging 2.4 points per game in 12 games. He had been on the injured
list since the start of the season with tendinitis in his left knee.
