NBA talks ‘encouraging’
Flowers’ efforts lead
victory, 102-95
United Press International
NEW YORK — The NBA
Board of Governors is sche
duled to meet today and it
appears the Players Association
and the NBA have virtually
reached agreement to avert a
strike.
Sam Schulman, owner of the
Seattle SuperSonics, said
Wednesday the Labor Commit
tee was ready to recommend
“something” to the board.
“The last conversation I had,
all the elements of the deal were
not finalized, but they were com
ing close,” Schulman said.
Greg Ballard, player repre
sentative of the Washington
Bullets, also sounded encour
aged by the latest round of talks.
“(General Counsel Larry)
Fleisher and the officers of the
Players Association have been
very happy so far today,” Bal
lard said. “We feel we will reach
a tentative agreement before the
weekend. I would say it’s 80 per
cent against the strike, 20 per
cent for the strike. The players
hopefully have given a little and
we feel the owners can see our
side a bit also.”
The players had threatened
to walk out Saturday night.
It appears the parties have
reached several points of com
promise to ensure that playoff
action will go on as scheduled.
The reported compromises
were:
— A maximum annual salary
cap per team that would be be
tween $3.5 and $3.7 million.
— A minimum salary level of
between $3.2 and $3.5 million
per team.
— Teams would be able to
match f ree agent offers made to
their own players by other clubs
without having the contract fi
gure affect their salary cap.
Bargaining for the players
were Fleisher and players Bob
Lanier, Steve Mix and Junior
Bridgeman.

Ig all 9 of his points in the

to spark the Cleveland Cavaliers
to a 102-95 victory over the
Rockets.

■lowers, a rookie from Notre
lame.
Bailey knocked Flowers to
|he floor and was called for a
loul at 7:50 of the final period
with the Cavs leading 83-75.
Jhirteen seconds later, Flowers
ankan 8-foot hook shot, and 37
:conds later, dropped in a 12-
looter from the left baseline.
1 “Iwasboxing Bailey out when
/Ti j /3f|helouled me. Bailey told (Cleve-
LGu kind forward Darren) Tillis ‘the
|extguy who hits me will get it,’
Ind I guess I was that guy,” said
flowers. “This is my first year
nd I’m just doing the best I
ian.”
Flowers logged only four mi-
lutes of action in the first half as
■Vorld B. Free tossed in 15
points to pace the Cavs to a 50-
39 halftime.
Bailey, who was held to only
one field goal in the first half,
poured in 20 second-half points,
including a jumper from the top
of the key that cut the Cleveland
lead to 75-71 with 1 1:40 left in
the game.
A basket by Flowers, a layup
off a rebound by Cliff Robinson
and a driving layup by rookie
John Bagley in the next 90
seconds gave the Cavs six un
answered points and the Rock
ets couldn’t catch up.
“Bailey is coming,” said Hous
ton coach Del Harris. “He is only
25 years old and since I made
him a starter he has been averag
ing 18 points and eight re
bounds. It has been a productive
move.”

ed that scandi
tics have
need three victories in their next
nine games to avoid their worst
season ever. As an expansion
team in San Diego during the
1967-68 season, the Rockets
finished w ith a 15-67 slate.
“Regardless of how we feel
tonight, we will be right up there
with the top eight right away
next year,” said Harris, whose
Rockets will have two of the first
three picks in the upcoming
NBA college draft, which will in
clude Virginia’s Ralph
Sampson.
“The actual future of the
franchise is tremendous.”
Free, playing with a sore left
heel, topped all scorers with 28
points and dished out five
assists, while Geoff Huston
added 14 points for the Cavs.
Bailey’s 22 points paced the
Rockets.
