I jt lu’re watcl Rockets defeat Cavs behind Sampson’s 33 RICHFIELD, Ohio (AP) — Ralph Sampson scored a season-high 33 points, nine of them during a 19- point Houston run in the third quar ter, as the Rockets defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 127-103 Mon day. Houston, which won for the sixth time in seven games, trailed 68-64 after Cleveland rookie Ron Harper made a 20-foot jump shot with 1 1 minutes to play in the third quarter. The Rockets then scored 19 straight points, including six on Sampson dunks, for an 83-68 advan tage. Cleveland got no closer than 13 the rest of the way. The 7-foot-4 Sampson also grabbed 16 rebounds for Houston. The Cavaliers have lost seven straight to the Rockets and have lost nine of their last 11 games overall. Cleveland led by as many as seven in the first half and held a 62-60 lead at halftime before going scoreless for a blA-minute span early in the third period. John “Hot Rod” Williams scored 23 points and Keith Lee had a sea son-high 20 for the Cavaliers. Akeem Olajuwon scored 10 of his 22 points in the fourth quarter to keep the Rockets comfortably ahead. “In every game on the road, we’ve been trying to come out with our best in the third quarter,” said Hous ton Coach Bill Fitch, whose team has won live of its last seven road games. “We played very good tonight. In the second half, we bordered on be ing great." Sampson, who scored 16 of his points in the first quarter, attributed the Rockets’ strong third quarter to their defense. “Anybody can run effectively if you rebound and get the ball out," Sampson said. “We played some good defense and got the running game unleashed.” Harper said the Cavaliers became discouraged during the Houston surge. “We were playing good defense, but they started hitting their shots, and we lost heart,” he said. TCU guard Lott breaks hand, to miss 6 weeks FORT WORTH (AP) —Texas Christian has lost its co-leading scorer, senior guard Carl Lott, for at least six weeks because of a broken shooting hand, school officials say. Lott suffered the injury in a Sat urday practice, but at first it was be lieved he had only bruised his right hand. The extent of the damage was revealed by X-rays on Monday. An orthopedic surgeon deter mined that Lott should not play for six to eight weeks, said Charlie Dierker, TCU’s associate sports in formation director. It is not known whether Lott will the be lost to the Horned Frogs for rest of the season, Dierker said. Post-season play in the Southwest Conference begins March 6. “This is really a blow,” TCU Coach Jim Killingsworth said. “But we’ve got two good young players who have just been waiting for play ing time and we’ll do the best we can without him.” Jamie Dixon, the Frogs' sixth man, will move into the starting lineup to replace Lott. Sophomore guards Rod Jacques and Randy Par ker move into prominent backup roles. Harrah from majas The coac ■ci Bowl ai «ich other. Bnd of toss Beeves mig ■oi k Giant!

Up to 200 scalpers are showing up at each game, seeking illegally-in flated prices for tickets and ha rassing fans from the time they leave their cars until they reach the arena, team officials said. Although a record 100 people were arrested last month on scalping charges, police said they lack the manpower to curb a problem that is now far worse than at any time since the Mavericks began play in October 1980. “I think it’s just not representative of what Dallas is all about, a clean, well-run city, to be hounded — liter ally hounded — by people when you’re winding your way to the game from the parking lots,” Mavericks General Manager Norm Sonju said. The scalpers are capitalizing on the success of a National Basketball Association team which has led its di vision for most of the season and created a record demand for tickets, Sonju said. Concerts still draw scalpers, but the most regular action is now aimed at Mavericks home game, officials said. With only 17,007 seats available for each home game and 14,000 of those sold to season ticket-holders, supply can’t meet demand when a big-name opponent comes to town, Sonju said. That’s where scalpers step in. Price quotes for the Mavericks-Los Angeles Lakers game on Jan. 24 are now ranging from $30 to $150 at ticket brokers, the Dallas Times Herald reported. The face value of the tickets ranges from $5 to $16.

The current ordi nance prohibits the sale of tickets for more than face value on public property and carries a $210 fine. Police have received several re ports from fans who said they were trying to buy tickets from scalpers when the salesman grabbed their money and ran off, said Dallas police Lt. Cliff Macsas, who oversees secu rity at Reunion.

Spurs down lowly Clippers to grab 2nd straight win SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Alvin Robertson scored 27 points to lead the San Antonio Spurs to a 113-106 NBA win over the Los Angeles Clip pers Monday night. The Spurs held off a fourth pe riod charge by Los Angeles when the Clippers closed to within six points, 98-92, with 7:00 left. Robertson responded with four quick baskets and rookie forward Walter Berry contributed two bas kets himself to pull San Antonio ahead 107-96. Berry scored 22 for the Spurs and guard Jon Sundvold added 20. Since Sundvold, a fourth-year player from Missouri became a starter six games ago, San Antonio has gone 3-3. The win was the Spurs’ second in a row and lifted them to 11-28. The loss was the Clippers’ third straight and drops them to 5-34, the worst in the NBA. Los Angeles was led by Michael Cage with 29, and Mike Woodson with 23. San Antonio held a 56-50 advan tage at the half, primarily behind the shooting of Sundvold and Rob ertson. Sundvold had 14 and Rob ertson had 11. Cage led all first-half scorers with 18 points and Woodson contributed 14. Cage, a third-year forward from San Diego St., kept the Clippers close for the first three quarters as teammates found him open under neath the basket for numerous lay ups and tip-ins. “I never thought playing this well would happen this quick,” Berry said. “Playing more minutes makes me feel comfortable and that is the whole key.” Berry was aquired in a trade with the Portland Trailblazers for Kevin Duckworth in December.
