The Fort Wayne Pistons are only
history now — but Cleveland, Phoe
nix and three other National Basket
ball Association teams can look back
to them for inspiration as they re
sume their steep uphill climb in the
first round of the 1985 playoffs.
The Cavaliers and Suns, along
with the Chicago Bulls, Washington
Bullets and New Jersey Nets, face
the seemingly insurmountable task
of rebounding from losses in the
first two games of their best-of-five
series.
Seemingly insurmountable, but
not entirely.
It’s been done — once.
In 1956, Fort Wayne (the fran
chise moved to Detroit two years
later) lost its first two playoff games
to the St. Louis Hawks (who moved
to Atlanta 12 years later).
The Pistons then ran off three
consecutive victories to win that
Western Division final, only to run
into the Philadelphia (now Golden
State) Warriors, the NBA’s best team
that season, and lose four out of five
in the league final.
Last week the Cavaliers ran into
the Boston Celtics, the NBA’s best
team during this season, and played
them virtually even in the first two
games, but lost 126-123 and 108-106
in Boston Garden. The series moves
to Cleveland Tuesday night.
Also Tuesday nignt, the Los An
geles Lakers play the Suns at Phoe
nix. Like the Cavs, Phoenix trails its
series 2-0. But unlike Cleveland, the
Suns haven’t come close to beating
L.A., getting blown out 142-114 and
147-130 so far.
The other three teams facing
elimination get an extra day to con
sider their situations before resum
ing play at home — the Bulls facing
Milwaukee, the Bullets taking on
Philadelphia and the Nets playing
Detroit Wednesday night.
The three other best-of-five series
are tied 1-1, with Dallas at Portland
and Denver at San Antonio Tuesday
night and Houston at Utah Wednes
day night.
“We’re the underdogs more than
ever now,” Cleveland’s rookie cen
ter, Mel Turpin, said as he consid
ered the Cavs’ third game against
the defending champion Celtics.
“But I’ll tell you what, it’s sort of fun
being in the role of the giant killer as
long as you know you can kill the gi
ant.
While the Cavs are thinking in
terms of beating the Celtics, the Suns
sound more concerned about avoid
ing another beating as bad as the
first two administered by Los An-
f eles. The way they’re going, the
.akers can break records for total
points, assists and field-goal percent

on Major League
Associated Press
AUSTIN — After winning 900
f ames in just 18 seasons, Texas base-
all coacn Cliff Gustafson said he
might now consider a coaching offer
from a major league club.
“If I got a lucrative offer and a
long-term contract, I would consider
it,” Gustafson said.
It’s more than idle speculation,
since he’s had what he calls “soft
feelers” from several clubs over the
“I guess we’ll be a part of a lot of
records this week,” Phoenix center
Alvan Adams said. “This is really de
moralizing. We’re only losing by

Larry Nance — are out with injuries,

forwardf Charles Jones.
years.
In 18 UT seasons, Gustafson has
won more baseball games than all
but two NCAA Division I coaches —
Southern California’s Rod Dedeaux
and Miami’s Ron Fraser.
While no one can approach De-
deaux’s 11 national titles or 1,304
wins, Gustasfson’s .828 winning per
centage fashioned on a 900-186-1
record puts him in a league by him
self.
“He’s just amazing. He’s done it
(won 900) faster than anybody else
in the game,” said Lou Pavlovich Sr.,
editor of the publication Collegiate
Baseball.
Dedeaux got his 900th win in his
35th year. Fraser reached that pla

season.
As much as anything, it is Gustaf
son’s refusal to accept losing that
propels his teams. That even he best
major league teams lose 60 or more
games in a sesson bothers him
greatly. He has never lost more than
17 in one year on any level.
“He even hates to lose intra-squad
games, and somebody’s got to lose. I
guess that’s his secret to winning,”
