United Press International
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Three
weeks ago, the Houston Rockets
directed all of their thoughts at the
Los Angeles Lakers. Two weeks
ago, the Rockets spent all of their
thoughts on the San Antonio
Spurs. And during the past week,
the Rockets concentrated solely
on the Kansas City Kings.
Now Coach Del Harris wants
his Houston players to concen
trate on another team — the Rock
ets themselves. At least for the
next few days.

Harris feels his Rockets have
earned that right after rocking the
Kings Wednesday night, 97-88, to
win the Western Conference title
and advance into the NBA cham
pionship round for the first time in
their 14-year history.
Houston thus becomes the first
team since the St. Louis Hawks in
1966-67 to gain a championship
berth with a sub .500 regular sea
son record. The Hawks finished
39-42 back then and the Rockets
went 40-42 this season.
“We haven’t had a chance to
enjoy this yet. We’ve always been
looking toward the next game, the
next team. Forget it — forget the
rules, forget everything. Feel it. I
want this team to feel what it has
accomplished. Enjoy it. Let this
all sink in.”

points in the second quarter to
pull the Rockets from first-period
deficits of 11 points into a M
intermission deadlock.
Houston overcame Kansas Ci
ty’s homecourt advantage to cap
ture the series 4-1 — just as the
Rockets overcame homecourt
advantages during the opening
two rounds in beating Los Angeles
2-1 and San Antonio 4-3.
Houston now awaits the winner
of the Eastern Conference cham
pionship series between the Phi
ladelphia 76ers and the Boston
Celtics — two teams the Rockets
did not beat a single time this sea
son. Philadelphia leads that series
3-2 and hosts Game 6 Friday

“We haven’t had a chance to

had a chance to get together and

and to tell each other how good we
are — to tell a few lies.
Moses Malone scored 36 points
and the Rockets capitalized on an
atrocious closing quarter by the
Kings to eliminate Kansas City.
The Kings led 77-73 heading into
the final period but went on to
score only 11 more points on 4-of-

Malone played the entire 48-
minute game, hitting 12-of-l7

NEW YORK — Pro scouts
earned their pay Wednesday by
rummaging through the leftovers
of the 46th NFL draft in search of
some overlooked top collegiate ta
lent.
Almost all the familiar collegi
ate names were called Tuesday in
the first round of the 46th NFL
draft, although the league com
pleted the first six rounds.
However, there was enough
quality to keep the draft fans in
their seats until the last name —
Delaware tight end Phil Nelson —
was called at 3:38 p.m. EDT.
Running back George Rogers,
the Heisman Trophy winner from
South Carolina, went to New
Orleans and North Carolina line
backer Lawrence Taylor went to
the New York Giants to trigger the
first day’s activity — which was
dominated by the University of
Pittsburgh.
The Panthers had 11 players
selected in the first six rounds
Tuesday, including a trio of first-
round picks. All-America defen
sive end Hugh Green went to
Tampa Bay on the seventh pick,
fullback Randy McMillan was
chosen 12th by Baltimore and
tackle Mark May, the Gotland
Trophy winner, was selected by
Washington with the 20th choice.
New Orleans opened the sec
ond day of drafting Wednesday
by selecting wide receiver Kevin
Williams of Southern California as
the first pick on the seventh
round. On the same round, Balti
more took Clemson kicker Obed
Arid, who led the nation with 23
field goals as a senior. The Pitt
sburgh Steelers took Florida line
backer David Little and Buffalo
picked Colorado linebacker Steve
Doolittle.
On the eighth round, Seattle
chose Brigham Young running
back Eric Lane, the New York Jets
chose Oklahoma quarterback J.C.
Watts as a defensive back, Balti
more took Houston defensive
tackle Hosea Taylor and the
Giants named Wake Forest guard
Bill Ard.
New Orleans opened the ninth
round by taking Washington run
ning back Toussaint Tyler and
Seattle selected Notre Dame run
ning back Jim Stone. St. Louis
took Stump Mitchell of The
Citadel, the No. 2 rusher in the
nation last year, Tampa Bay
named quarterback Mike Ford of
Southern Methodist, Green Bay
took Notre Dame tackle Tim Huff
man and Cincinnati selected
Washington State quarterback
Samoa Samoa as a running back.
On the 10th round, Green Bay
took Tulane quarterback Nickie
Hall and Chicago selected Indiana
quarterback Tim Clifford.
Washington took Jerry Hill, a
wide receiver from NorthernAlt
