SAN ANTONIO (AP) — For Kareem Abdul-Jab-
rar, the Los Angeles Lakers’ easy three-game playoff
iweepof the San Antonio Spurs is no mystery.
“We are a better team than the Spurs,” said Abdul-
abbar Wednesday after scoring 25 points and leading
he Lakers to a 114-94 victory over the Spurs. “I think
he series speaks for itself.”
The win propelled the defending world champion
.akers into the second round of the playoffs with the
inner of the Utah-Dallas series.
Spurs Coach Cotton Fitzsimmons had to agree with
kbdul-Jabbar. ———
“I told our guys you just have NBA PlQyOffS
o give the Lakers credit,” Fitz-
iimmons said in the locker room. “They are the cham-
lions. I thought our guys did the best they could. LA
usthas a great team.”
Earvin “Magic” Johnson, who Finished the game
ith 14 points, 17 assists and 10 rebounds, said the
akers will “take a 3-0 sweep any time we can get it.”
The Spurs just couldn’t get it going in the three
;amesand we really played well,” Johnson said.
Johnson's 48 assists for the three-game series is an
k'BA record.
The Lakers never trailed the entire game Wednes-
The Spurs, who lost 21 of their last 26 regular sea-
on games, managed to pull to within 6 points at 48-42
i the second period. But they never moved that close
g ain -
Jabbar’s steady scoring in the third period set the Fi-
al pace as the Lakers scored 28 points to the Spurs’
3.
The third period scoring barrage powered the
akers from a 6-point advantage to a 21 -point lead.
Spurs point guard Wes Matthews lead all scorers
ith 30. He was trailed by Mike Mitchell and Artis Gil-
nore. with 17 apiece.
Maurice Lucas put in 17 for the Lakers.
The visitors out-rebounded the home team 53-33
mdled in field goal percentages 55 percent to 41 per-
entin the slow-moving contest.
The margin of victory, was the smallest in the playoff
series between the two teams. The Lakers won the first
two 135-88 and 122-94.
Jazz 100, Mavericks 98
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Utah’s Karl Malone
took advantage of an open opportunity and that kept
the Jazz alive in their NBA first-round best-of-five se
ries with Dallas Wednesday night.
Malone scored with 50 seconds left to lift Utah to a
100-98 victory over Dallas and shave the Mavericks’
playoff advantage to 2-1.
“I thought the opportunity presented itself, the shot
was there and it just fell for me,” said Malone, who also
grabbed a key rebound at the other end of the court to
keep Dallas from tying the game a 13th dnye.
“I wasn’t trying to do anything unusual — I was just
trying to make the bucket,” said Malone, who Finished
the fame with 16 points. “It was a big shot, but you
have to give all the credit to Rickey (Green) and Thurl
(Bailey).”
Malone earlier tied the game at 96-all after he stole
the ball and scored with 2:30 left.
Green, who scored a playoff career-high 32 points
for Utah, scored on a 20-footer a minute later to put
the Jazz, playing without the injured Adrian Dantley,
ahead 98-96. But Rolando Blackman converted two
free throws for the Mavericks with 1:10 left to tie the
Malone hit the game-winner 20 seconds later. On
Dallas’ final possession, Blackman’s shot rolled over
the rim and Malone ripped the rebound from James
Donaldson.
Thurl Bailey and Bobby Hansen joined Malone with
16 points each for Utah, while Donaldson led the Mav
ericks with 17 points and 20 rebounds. Blackman fin
ished with 16, including five during the final 3:35 as
Dallas overcame a 94-89 deficit to tie the game at 94.
Behind Green’s 17 points, Utah led by as many as 14
points in the first half before the Mavericks rallied.

The last silent film by Sergei Eisenstein, this film con
cerns the collectivization of Russian agriculture in the
1920’s. Eisentein’s careful editing and camerawork
produce emotional images of machinery relieving the
