Spurs rout Suns for 17th straight
San Antonio compiled a perfect 16-0 record in March
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — The
San Antonio Spurs completed an
unbeaten month of March with
their 17th straight victory Sun
day, 97-83 over the Phoenix
Suns, becoming only the second
team in NBA history to go 16-0
in a month.
The Spurs, whose winning
streak began Feb. 29, matched
the 16-0 record set by the Los
Angeles Lakers in 1972. Nine
other teams have had undefeat
ed months of 12 to 15 victories.
David Robinson scored 22
points, Avery Johnson had 20,
Sean Elliott had 17 points, 10 re
bounds and five assists and
Charles Smith scored 12 points.
Kevin Johnson scored 19,
Michael Finley had 16 and Dan
ny Manning came off the bench
to add 14 for Phoenix, which had
its three-game winning streak
snapped.
The Suns had a rough first
quarter, going just 5-of-22 from
the field, and trailed 25-16 head
ing into the second period.
Charles Barkley was l-of-9 in
the quarter.
San Antonio broke the game
open early in the fourth quarter
as Avery Johnson had three
straight layups for a 78-65 lead.
Robinson’s has 13,998 career
points. If he reaches 14,000, he’ll
become the 89th NBA player to
hit the mark.
Spurs guard Dell Demps was
placed on the injured list due to
back spasms. Forward Carl Her
rera returned to active status.
He had been on the list since
March 22 due to gastroenteritis.
Among the other teams to go
undefeated in a month are the
Boston Celtics (15-0 in Decem
ber, 1959), Chicago Bulls (14-0,
Jan. ’96), Lakers (14-0, Nov.’71),
Phoenix Suns (14-0 Dec. ’92),
Houston Rockets (14-0, Nov. 93)
and New York Knicks (14-0,
March, ’94). One team had a 13-
0 month and two had 12-0
months.
Goliath pounds David in Women’s
National Championship game
Tennessee’s size routed Georgia’s speed in the title tilt, 83-65
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) —
Tennessee was bigger and
stronger, Georgia was quicker.
In this case, bigger was better.
Tennessee dominated inside
and got some inspired defense
from Latina Davis in beating
Southeastern Conference rival
Georgia 83-65 Sunday night to
win its fourth NCAA champi
onship.
Tennessee now has twice as
many national titles as any
other school in 15 years of
NCAA play. The Lady Vols
won their previous champi
onships in 1987, 1989 and
1991 — all under current
coach Pat Summitt.
Tennessee’s players donned
the traditional championship
caps and pranced around the
court in celebration. Summitt,
wearing a burnt orange
pantsuit, watched calmly from
the sidelines and chatted with
a television reporter.
Tennessee’s Michelle
Marciniak, who had 10 points,
five assists and two steals,
was named the outstanding
player in the Final Four. She
scored 21 in a semifinal victo
ry over defending champion
Connecticut on Friday night.
Abby Conklin helped with
some timely 3-point shooting
for the Lady Vols, who had
lost at Georgia 77-71 during
the season. Tennessee outre-
bounded Georgia 63-30 in that
game and enjoyed another big
edge on the boards Sunday
night, this time 54-39.
That total included 21 offen
sive rebounds, which led to 17
second-chance points.
Davis, Tennessee’s leading
scorer in the tournament,
stood out with her defense by
shutting down Georgia’s All-
America guard, Saudia
Roundtree.
Roundtree had promised
coach Andy Landers a national
championship when she signed
with Georgia out of junior col
lege two years ago, but she
couldn’t make it happen.
The 5-foot-7 senior, who had
63 points in her two previous
tournament games, rarely was
able to get Georgia into its
deadly transition game and
scored only eight points on 3-
for-14 shooting. She went
scoreless in the second half.
Freshman Chamique Hold-
sclaw led Tennessee (32-4)
with 16 points and 14 re
bounds. Tiffani Johnson also
scored 16 for the Lady Vols
and Conklin added 14, includ
ing four 3-pointers. Pashen
Thompson had 12 points and
11 rebounds.
La’Keshia Frett led Georgia
(28-5) with 25 points but had
only seven in the second half.
Tracy Henderson scored 16.
Ahead 42-37 at halftime de
spite shooting only 43 percent,
Tennessee opened the second
half with a 15-5 run to in
crease its lead to 57-41.
Conklin hit two 3-pointers
during that stretch and four
other Tennessee players
scored as the Lady Vols took
control.
