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.

DALLAS (AP) — The Dallas Mav
ericks are such a hot item that an un
precedented number of ticket scalp
ers are descending on Reunion
Arena, eluding law officers and gen
erating scores of complaints from ir
ritated fans.
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.

Sonju said he will approach City
Council about an ordinance to ban
sales of tickets by individuals at Re
union Arena. 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.
At least two of those arrested for
scalping also were carrying drugs

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.
