(AP) —The Detroit Pistons swept away the Los Angeles Lakers’ decade of domi nance and ended a 41-year title drought Tuesday night. Most Valuable Player Joe Dumars, who averaged 27.3 in the Linals, scored 23 points in Detroit’s 105-97 victory, giving the Pistons a 4-0 sweep of the Lakers, who were going for their third consecutive championship and sixth in the 1980s. The Lakers went into the playoffs with an 11 -0 record and hopes of be coming the first team to make it through the postseason with a per fect record. Instead, it was Detroit that domi nated, giving the Pistons their first title since the franchise started in 1948 in Port Wayne, Ind. They are the fifth team to sweep the Linals. In addition to the 76ers over the Lakers in 1983, Boston swept Minneapolis in 1959, Milwau kee did it in 1971 against Baltimore and Golden State in 1975 against Washington. The Pistons trailed 80-76 in the first minute of the fourth quarter be fore James Edwards, scoreless in the first three periods, had 10 points during a 13-6 streak that gave De troit an 89-86 lead with eight min utes left. After a free throw by Orlando Woolridge, Isiah Thomas got free inside for a layup and then scored on a breakaway for a 93-87 advan- tage. The Lakers got no closer than four the rest of the way with Thomas, Dumars and Bill Laimbeer hitting key baskets in the last four minutes. James Worthy led the Lakers with a career-high 40 points, but no one else had more than 13 for the two- time defending champions. Besides Dumars, Laimbeer had 16, Vinnie Johnson and Thomas 14 for Detroit and Edwards had all of his 13 in the fourth quarter. The loss by the Lakers marked the end of 42-year-old Kareem Abdul- Jabbar’s 20-year NBA career. The all-time leading scorer finished with seven points after scoring 24 points in Game 3. Abdul-Jabbar left the game for the last time with 19 sec onds remaining to a standing ovation from even the Pistons who left their bench to applaud. The injured Magic Johnson grabbed Abdul-Jabbar in a bearhug. Royals edge Oakland 5-3 for sixth straight victory KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Bob Boone hit a three-run double and Kevin Appier won his first major league game Tuesday night as the Kansas City Royals beat the Oakland Athletics 5-3 for their sixth straight victory. Appier, 1-1, went five innings and gave up two runs on seven hits. Steve Larr, the fourth Kansas City pitcher, worked the ninth for his 14th save. Curt Young dropped to 2-6 with the loss. Kansas City’s Danny Tartabull hurt his knee trying to make a catch in right field in the second inning and left the game. Matt Winters replaced Tartabull and drew a leadoff walk in the bot tom of the second. Pat Tabler and Jim Eisenreich sin gled, loading the bases. Boone cleared them with a double off the left-field wall and Brad Well man’s RBI single made it 4-0.

Remember when the Cardinals, Phillies and Mets danced past their Western Division rivals every time they played? Those memories are all that’s left of the dominance the east held in Major League Baseball a few years ago. Just look at the standings. In the American League West, Oakland, Kansas City, California and Texas are running neck-and-neck for the lead, making it the best division in baseball. Texas, which is currently in fourth place, would be leading the AL East by two games if it were placed in that division. Then take a glance at the National League West, where the Houston Astros are on a tear. They’ve won 16 of 17 games and have the best road record in baseball at Robbie Scichili Sports Writer 17-7. But even though Houston has been hot, San Lrancisco and Cincinnati are right on the Astros’ heels. But why is the West so dominant when compared to the East? Perhaps its simply a case of talent overload. The Western Divisions in both leagues seem to have the best players. In the AL West, Nolan Ryan has brought an experienced arm to the mound for Texas. He leads a pitching staff of promising youngsters and a crafty veteran, Charlie Hough. Texas also acquired Rafael Palmiero and Julio Eranco from trades in the off-season. These changes have brought immediate help to the Rangers, who desperately needed it. Then there’s Oakland. This team is in first place in the AL West without their best player. Jose Canseco isn’t expected to come off the disabled list until mid-July, but it appears the Athletics may not need him. Oakland has one of the best pitching staffs in baseball, along with enough natural hitters to start their own league. They are truly the team to beat in the American League. Kansas City has a fine all-around staff as well. Led by Bo “I play football in my spare time” Jackson, the Royals are making a charge at Oakland. Jackson is such a good hitter, the other team comes out early to watch him at batting practice. California has been the surprise team in the AL West. Picked to finish dead-last in the division by most experts, the Angels have played well enough for second in the division so far. The pitching staff is young; the most notable being Jim Abbott, the rookie from Michigan who has only one hand. Despite his handicap, Abbott has faired quite well so far and seems to have what it takes. In the NL West, San Francisco has been literally bombing everyone they play. They seem to like the long ball. Will Clark has hit his share. But the most impressive hitter has been Kevin “see ya!” Mitchell. Mitchell’s goal at the beginning of the season was to have 100 RBI this season. He is hitting them at a rate which will give him his goal by early August. He is leading the majors in home runs and could break a few records before it’s all over. Pete Rose would be sure to bet on his team if he had the chance. Cincinnati has played great despite the Rose gambling controversy. Barry Larkin has been the main focus of the Reds’ offense. They should make the race for the NL West very competitive. In both leagues, the tide has turned from East to West. It’s good for baseball. Eastern teams were dominant for so long that it’s actually a relief to see the west playing so well. Look for both leagues’ Western Divisions to battle right down to the wire. That makes baseball exciting. After all, isn’t that the way America’s pastime was meant to be? ‘INYADS.
