CHICAGO — Del Harris
leaned against the wall outside
the Houston Rockets’ locker
room and put his team’s worst
whipping ever — a 129-76
slaughter by the Chicago Bulls
— in perspective.
“This is the worst game we’ve
played, but we’ve played a lot of
similiar games,” said the coach
of the NBA’s worst team, 8-37
after Tuesday’s loss.
“We have been playing good
basketball for the last couple
weeks and I told the guys before
this game that they have con
tinued to play hard,” Harris
said.
The Rockets had won three
of their last seven contests be
fore they were trounced by the
Bulls.
The 53-point margin erased
the Rockets previous worst loss,
156-114, to Baltimore in 1968.
That was the second time a
Houston club fell by 42 points.
The Bulls’ record in a victory
is a 56-point margin against
Portland in 1976.
Elvin Hayes gave the Rockets
a 23-16 lead with 2:03 left in the
first quarter. The Bulls then
outscored the Rockets 24-4 to
grab a 42-29 lead on Mark
Olberding’s basket with 6:47 re-
Del Harris says whipping
was Rockets at their worst
maining in the half.
Orlando Woolridge scored
nine of his 17 points in the
second period when the Bulls
outscored Houston 32-15 to
take a 56-40 lead at the intermis
sion.
Houston scored its last points
of the third quarter when Wally
Walker’s basket cut Chicago’s
lead to 78-54 with 3:21 left.
The Bulls then rang up a
team record 23 straight points
— the old mark was 19 and the
league record is 24 set by Phi
ladelphia in 1966 — to build a
101-54 margin with 9:26 left in
the game.
When David Greenwood
scored with 1:45 remaining on a
layup Chicago had its biggest
lead, 126-65.
Dwight Jones paced the Bulls
with 19 points and was one of
eight Chicago players scoring in
double figures. Greenwood
added 16 points and had 11 re
bounds.
The victory snapped a six-
game home losing streak and a
three-game overall skid for the
Bulls.
“Our last three games we
have been playing quality bas
ketball,” said Chicago Coach
Paul Westhead. “Those three
losses were by a combined total
of 10 points to New York„De-
troit and Boston.
“Tonight, we were not that
much different in our execution
than we were against those three
clubs.”
The loss was witnessed by
only 3,989 fans — the smallest
crowd in the Stadium since
1973.
“As far as our game is con
cerned we have to remember
who we are,” said Harris. “We
started out OK tonight, but
when we went to the bench it
became one pass and then shoot.
That’s not our type of team. We
have to select our shots.
“It’s hard to come back when
you have a poor shooting team.”
The Rockets entered the con
test with a 44 percent shooting
average and shot 35 percent
against the Bulls, who hit 58 per
cent of their shots.
Allen Leavall paced Houston
with 14 points, while Hayes^
added 13.
