Five series in the open- ing round of the National Bas- htball Association playoffs fere forced into a final game light. Seattle and Dallas will play in Moody Coliseum tonight, the home floor of the SMU Mus tangs. Dallas’ regular home base — Reunion Arena — is booked this week by the World Championship of Tennis Finals. The Sonics were forced to use two different arenas to host the two games played in the Seattle — the second of which was won by the Mavericks Tues day night, 107-96. That victory not only kept the Mavericks alive in the series but dramatically lifted Motta’s spirits. “We shot well, we executed well, we hustled and we played adequate defense,” said Motta, who had given his team a vocal thrashing after it had lost the Going the distance for championships ruil :,, oston and Los Angeles re- ineBlufFDollamFH some additional rest by j’ s AU-AmericajiB ,iniln S lhe first leams to S el 6-8 forward DrS® 1 lhe conference quarterfi- vnne Hs, but tied at 2-2 are New Jer- o otherhigh SC yM Phil f del P A hi I a ’ Seattle-Dallas, <i(ni uiih i r [,.

No matter what hap pens from here on we have had a nice season.” The winner of tonight’s game will move into a best-of-seven meeting with the Los Angeles Lakers, who disposed of the Kansas City Kings in three straight contests. The Sonics, who let a large lead get away in the series’ First game and who almost did the same in Game 2, sounded about as disgruntled as the Mavericks did after their dismal second- half showing in the third game. Dallas owned as much as a 19-point advantage Tuesday night. “We were terrible,” said vet eran guard Fred Brown. “It was a disgusting way to play. “When you get a team down you are supposed to bury them, not open the door and say come on.” The chief keys to the final game of the series will be just as they have been all along — how well Seattle defends Mark Aguirre and Rolando Blackman and how well Dallas defends Gus Williams and Jack Sikma. But the faceoff between Dal las’ Jay Vincent and Seattle’s Tom Chambers could ultima tely decide the issue. Chambers, for instance, scored 30 points in the second game, but did not score a single point until the fourth quarter Tuesday night. Vincent, meanwhile, pro duced 21 points and hauled in 11 rebounds in 37 minutes. 2 Hours oj Special Entertainment Featuring: Battalion Classified We Buy Used Books Everyday!

Calvin Natl led Portland to victory over Phoenix. “There was no tomorrow and it was now or never,” said Natt. “You have to have confidence in this game.” Suns coach John MacLeod said Portland’s domination of the offensive boards was a big factor.
