sports Battalion/Page |i February 23, NY wins on last-second dunk Knicks edge Mavs, 108-106 United Press International NEW YORK — Bill Cart wright doesn’t fool around when he puts in a backbreaking effort. “I hurt my lower back on that last play,” Cartwright said after his dunk with six seconds left lifted the New York Knicks Tuesday night to a 108-106 vic tory over the Dallas Mavericks. “I’m hurting a little right now, but when you see an opportun ity like that, you love it. You just want it again. I’m alright, though.” With the score 106-106, New York’s Paul Westphal took the ball at halfcourt, faked Elston Turner and drove the lane. His layup bounded off the rim and Cartwright slammed it in to give the Knicks their fifth straight triumph at home and 11th vic tory in their last 14 games. Jay Vincent of Dallas missed a base line jumper with two seconds left. “It was a delay play by Paul Westphal,” said Cartwright, who also led the Knicks with 20 points. “Ideally, Paul is sup posed to drive to the basket with six seconds left.

He missed the shot, I caught it and drove it to the hoop. “I didn’t see anyone in front of me blocking me out, which is just fine.” Dallas Coach Dick Motta blamed the loss on his team’s in ability to keep Cartwright in check. “They beat us inside,” Motta said. “We couldn’t control Cart wright underneath. We haven’t played well since the All-Star game. We’ve won one and given two away.” The Knicks trailed from early in the second quarter until Mar vin Webster tied it 85-85 with just under 9:00 left. Sly Williams put the Knicks ahead 106-104 with 49 seconds left. Bill Garnett connected for Dallas with 25 seconds remaining to make it 106-106 before New York called a timeout and set up the game- winner. Bernard King added 18 for the Knicks, Westphal 15 and Williams 14. For Dallas, Vincent and Mark Aguire each scored 25 points, Kelvin Ransey had 14 and Rolando Blackman 12. Dallas led 82-77 after three quarters with Aguirre scoring 12 in the third quarter and Vin cent eight. The Mavericks were ahead 51-48 at the half as Ran sey collected 10 points in the second quarter. The Knicks held a 30-24 lead after one quar ter, getting seven points from Truck Robinson and six from Westphal. New York Coach Hubie Brown said he was counting on Westphal to beat his man and score, but he was happy with the outcome anyway. “During the timeout (with 20 seconds left), we wanted to dis cuss the plays which were good for us tonight. We wanted West phal to drive with six seconds left on the clock, but fortunately, he left with eight seconds left. Westphal just blew right by the guy (Elston Turner) guarding him and he got and he got into the lane fast. I was very elated with what happened. “There are all kinds of ways to play the last shot. No one should really critique or second guess.” ENGINEERING CAREERS IN HAWAII MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: B.S. degree in engi neering or equivalent experience AND U.S. CITIZENSHIP These are challenging civilian positions with the PEARL HARBOR NAVAL SHIPYARD in Honolulu, Hawaii.
