BOSTON — The dream series
boils down lo a dream game, and the
Celtics vow it will be a nightmare —
for the Lakers.
Tuesday at 8 p.m.. Game 7 of the
NBA championship series brings
Los Angeles Lakers back to Boston
Garden for the season finale.
“It will be warfare,” said Celtics
forward Cedric Maxwell. “Every
body’s back is against the wall. We’re
going to get down in the trenches
and win it.”
Because a heat wave in New En
gland has remained stationary,
Game 7 may be a repeat of Came 5’s
steambath in which temperatures hit
the mid-90s at the Carden, which
has no air conditioning.
The Lakers and 37-year-old Ka-
reem Abdul-Jabbar were most af
fected by Fr iday night’s heat and the
stilling humidity indoors, as Boston
scored a 121-103 victory.
“I hope it’s 100 degrees on Tues
day,” said Celtics sixth man Kevin
McHale after LA evened the series
Sunday at The Forum irr Inglewood,
Calif., with a 119-108 comeback vic
tory. “We’ve got to come back and be
strong, but the fans will be behind us
110 percent.”
In the first quarter of Came G,
James Worthy shoved Maxwell into
the crowd on a fast-break attempt.
The move was seen by Boston as eve
ning the score, as McHale had lev
eled Los Angeles forward Kurt
Rambis in a similar situation in
Came 4.
“They retaliated for what we did
the other clay,” Maxwell said. “And
they wanted to get the crowd into
the game early. But we’re a physical
team. We’ll get him (Worthy) back in
Boston.”
Worthy agrees with Maxwell’s
evaluation of Came 7.
“It will be an all-out war,” he said.
“The crowd won’t be an advantage;
the heat will have no effect. It’s what
we play for all year, and we’ll be re
ady.”
Guard Magic Johnson, tagged as
the goat for his play in LA’s two
overtime losses, said the Lakers
hadn’t given up because they are
winners.
“When you’re a loser, you end up
losing, but we don’t have those
thoughts in our head,” Johnson said.
“We feel good and confident that we
can go into Boston and win.”
The Lakers took control of Came
6 in the third quarter when they es
tablished their running game and set
a faster tempo than Boston is com
fortable with.
“Whoever controls the tempo of
the (seventh) game and plays it their
way will win,” said Johnson, whose
total of 80 assists has set a record for
a championship series. The record
of 73 was previously held by Walt
Frazier of the New York Knicks.
Johnson has been slightly ham
pered by tendinitis in his left knee
through the finals. Lakers backup
center Bob McAdoo is likely not to
play Tuesday night because of a
strained Achilles tendon.
“We know what we’ve got to do
come Tuesday,” McHale said. “We
have to play a very poised game. We
need to scrap and fight, and when
they get those runs, we’ve just got to
hang on.”

CEMENT INC.

OMAHA, Neb. — Major League
Baseball held its annual free-agent
draft one week too early for Cal
State-Fullerton outfielder John
Fishel and one week too late for the
defending NCAA champion Texas
Longhorns.
Inspired by his lowly selection in
the 19th round by the Oakland A’s
earlier in the week, Fishel flogged
the 1984 College World Series tour
nament field with his bat to carry
Fullerton to its second NCAA title in
six years under Manager Augie Gar-
rido.
Fishel batted .520 with a tourna
ment record-tying 13 hits in 25 al-
bats as the Titans rebounded from a
second-round 6-4 loss to Texas to
eliminate traditional powers Miami,
Arizona Stale and Oklahoma State
in order before downing the Long
horns, 3-1, in the title game Sunday
night.
Fishel knocked in four runs in the
10-2 victory over Oklahoma State
and also collected two homers in Ful
lerton’s six games in Omaha. He
shared the tournament lead in both
runs (6) and RBI (10) to earn ac
claim as the most outstanding per
former of the 1984 Series in a vote
of the media.
Fishel hit a team-leading .378 for
the Titans in this his junior season
with 16 home runs, 28 stolen bases
and 88 RBI. He hit .332 as a sopho
more in 1983 and .313 as a freshman
in 1982 after turning down a bonus
to sign with the New York Yankees
out of high school.
Fishel thought he had substan
tially improved his market value for
a potential major-league career dur
ing his three-year stay on the Ful
lerton campus but was deflated to
learn he lasted until the 19th and fi
nal round of baseball’s June 5 draft.
“He was disappointed and in the
tank after the draft,” Carrido said.
“He turned down something like
$50,000 out of high school and in
three years I’ve turned him into a
19th round draft pick. But he was
able to put his negative feelings in
the right place and concentrate on
the team.”

United Press International
ARLINGTON — Pete O’Brien
