The Celtics regained the home- court advantage in the best-of-seven series. The fifth game will be played Friday night in Boston. The Lakers missed an opportu nity to tie when James Worthy could manage only one of two free throws with 10 seconds left. Dennis John son, fouled by Michael Cooper, hit escapes in overtime two foul shots to put Boston ahead 127-124. The Lakers called timeout, then M.L. Can stole a Worthy pass and stormed for a dunk to seal it. Bird, who finished with a team- high 29 points, had tied the score at 123 with 79 seconds left in overtime on an insidejumper. Magic Johnson, who had 20 points for Los Angeles, missed two free throws with 35 sec onds left before Bird’s winning fa deaway. The Celtics, down 113-108 with 56 seconds left in regulation, scored the fourth period’s final five points. Robert Parish hit a basket and a free throw to make it 113-111 and Bird’s two free throws with 16 seconds on the play Kareem Abdul-Jabbar fouled out tied it 113-113. Abdul-Jabbar led Los Angeles with 32 points before fouling out. Worthy had 30 and Johnson 20 for the Lakers. Parish scored 25 and Dennis Johnson 22 for Boston. Los Angeles, which blew a 14- point lead, trailed 104-101 with 5:24 remaining in the game. The running game, absent in a second half that featured two melees, returned for the Lakers and nearly brought them to victory. The third period was marred by two incidents — one which cleared both benches. McHale used a clothesline on a streaking Kurt Ram- bis with 6:53 left and the Lakers took exception to the play. Henderson and Cooper squared off in the corner and players paired off with one another. Only 89 seconds later, Abdul-Jab bar was fouled by Bird and at tempted to get at the Boston All- Star. The two were separated follow ing a heated exchange of words. The Lakers took a 68-58 halftime lead in the most physical game of the series. Worthy had 14, Abdul-Jabbar 13 . Parish, who shot poorly Sunday, had 14 points for Boston and Bird added 13. No upsets at Olympic boxing trials United Press International FORT WORTH —- Tyrell Biggs, the early favorite to win the super heavyweight gold medal at Los An geles this summer, jabbed his way to an easy triumph Wednesday night in the opening round of the U.S. Olympic boxing trials. Biggs, who was one of the most disappointed members of the Amer ican athletic community when the Soviets announced they would boy cott the Olympics, coasted to a unan imous decision over Hassan Shab- baz. Other than Biggs’ easy triumph, the first night of the five-day trials was highlighted by Paul Gonzales of Los Angeles stopping of Jesus Gon zales of the U.S. Army in the 106- pound division and by Mark Bre land’s one-punch knockout of Mylon Watkins 41 seconds deep in their 147-pound bout. Breland, from St. Louis and ranked No. 1 in the world in his weight class, caught a left hand from Watkins in the first few seconds of their bout, but then Breland began to stalk is opponent waiting for the moment to throw a big punch. When that punch came it was a blockbuster, a huge right hand that hit Watkins in the jaw and sent him crashing to the canvas. It took Watkins two minutes to re gain his feet and then all he could do was sit on a stool while doctors helped his regain his senses. “The impact,” said Breland, “went right to his brain. His chin went straight up.” “I know Howard is going to come straight at me. I will have to do a lot of dancing with Howard.” Biggs had made it clear he dreamed of having a chance to beat Cuban superstar Teofilo Stevenson to win the Olympic gold medal, but he will not have that chance because of the Soviet bloc boycott. Without Stevenson, Biggs is ex pected to capture the gold medal and his start in the trials was trouble free. Shabbaz, who represents the U.S. Army, took a standing eight count in the third round after ab sorbing more than his share of pun ishment. Defending champ Noah loses in five sets to Wilander United Press International PARIS — Mats Wilander, giving history a twist in the tail, outlasted defending champion Yannick Noah of France in a fluctuating five-set match Wednesday to reach the semi finals of the $1 million French Open tennis championships for the third consecutive year. The 19-year-old Swede, the youngest-ever champion in 1982 and runner-up last year, gained his revenge with a 7-6 (7-4), 3-6, 2-6, 6- 3, 6-3 victory after an epic three hour, 35 minute duel in the sun on the soft, red clay of Roland Garros. Second-seeded Ivan Lendl, of Czechoslovakia, earned the right to face fourth-seeded Wilander in Fri day’s semifinals by beating Italian Open champion Andres Gomez, of Ecuador, 6-3, 6-7, (5-7), 6-4, 6-3. Favorite John McEnroe and arch- American rival Jimmy Connors, the No. 3 seed, qualified for a matchup when the two other men’s quarterfi nals were played Tuesday. In less enlightened times, Wi lander might have been dragged off to the Bastille for eliminating the French hero, but the capacity crowd of 16,500 gave both players a tumul tuous sendoff, acknowledging the superb quality of the play. The Wilander-Noah clash had more twists and turns than a John Le Carre spy thriller, with the Swede drawing first blood by capturing the tie-breaking opening set and the 24- year-old home favorite coming back to lake the next two in scintillating fashion before running out of steam. Noah, a superb athlete with pan ther-like grace, hit his peak in the second and third sets, dazzling Wi lander with a fusillade of acrobatic volleys. Wilander admitted he was wor ried at this stage. “When he came in all the time during those two sets I made some good passing shots, but he was al ways there,” he said. “It is very diffi cult to be confident at a point like that.” The Swede said the match swung his way when he broke through for a 4-2 lead in the fourth set, beating the sixth-seeded Frenchman with two magnificent returns of service which snapped at Noah’s ankles like an an gry terrier. “I was tired in the second and third sets but, when I broke his serve in the fourth, I knew that I was back in the match,” he said. “That game was the key. It seemed to give me ex tra energy. I never felt tired after that and I felt confident.” Wilander’s new lease on life was reflected in the number of times he was able to blast his two-fisted back hander past the tiring Noah. Eagles safety did it the hard way United Press International BIRMINGHAM — While most NFL stars spent their high school years being courted by dozens of col lege coaches, Philadelphia Eagles safety Wes Hopkins remembers those days as a time when his career seemed near an end. “Who recruited me? Absolutely nobody,” Hopkins said recently while visiting his family in Birming- IVcUU. Hopkins, who played at John Car- roll High School, was snubbed by Al abama, Auburn and even the state’s small colleges after an injury- plagued senior season. But the 5-10, 180-pound defensive back never gave up hope. “I pulled two groin muscles a week before the first game and ended up missing most of the sea son,” Hopkins said, remembering his senior season. “I finally got back for the last four games of the sea son.” “I really didn’t expect to get a scholarship. I knew I’d have to go somewhere and try to make the team.” “If you think you have the talent, and you have confidence in yourself, you should give college ball a shot,” he said. “If you fail, at least you can say you tried.” Hopkins, an Alabama fan, set his sights on playing for the Crimson Tide, but his uncle, Dallas business man Jim Lee, persuaded him to en roll at Southern Methodist. Hopkins started as a freshman for the Mustangs and led the Southwest Conference in interceptions his se nior season, when SMU went 11-0-1. He was named Most Valuable De fensive Player in the Mustangs’ 7-3 Cotton Bowl win over Pittsburgh. He was the second-round choice of the Eagles in the 1983 draft and he started 14 games last year. Inju ries kept him out of the other two contests.
