Knicks may negotiate
with Motta, Mavs say
DALLAS (AP) — The New York
Knicks can interview Dallas Maver
icks Coach Dick Motta but (he Mav
ericks general manager said Thurs
day he hopes the NBA team’s only
coach in its seven-year history sticks
around.
“He’s a great coach. Let’s hope he
stays here,” said Norm Sonju. “He is
a good coach, and I can’t blame
someone for wanting him.”
Sonju said he gave the Knicks per
mission Wednesday to contact
Motta, who is vacationing at his sum
mer home in Idaho. Sonju said he
warned Motta to expect a call from
the Knicks and to call him back “if it
gets interesting.”
The Los Angeles Clippers ex
pressed an interest in Motta, Sonju
said.
Motta said Wednesday he would
listen to any offer, but “it would have
to be something pretty sensational.”
“I don’t know if they (Knicks)
want me to be a candidate or
whether the job is mine,” Motta said.
The Knicks have been unable to
land Providence College Coach Rick
Pitino, Larry Brown of Kansas or
Don Nelson of the Milwaukee
Bucks.
The New York Daily News re
ported Thursday that Motta
planned to lly to New York to meet
with officials of Gulf Sc Western,
which owns the Knicks.
file Knicks have indicated that
they are willing to make their new
coach the highest paid in the league.
Dallas hired Motta on July 16,
1980, giving the expansion Maver
icks instant credibility. A 19-year vet
eran, Motta previously coached in
the NBA with Chicago and Wash
ington, where he won the league
crown in 1978
Norman, Stewart tied
in Byron Nelson Classic
IRVING, Texas (AP) — Austra
lian Greg Norman, a painful playoff
loser in the Masters, rode a short ea
gle putt to a 64 on Thursday and
tied Payne Stewart for the first-
round lead in the $600,()()() Byron
Nelson Golf Classic.
Norman, who hasn’t won in the
United States since the 1986
Kemper Open, and Stewart, the
Southern Methodist University
graduate who has never won in
Texas, shared a one-shot lead over a
par-shattering field.
Norman hit a 341-yard drive and
a 193-yard 3-iron to within four feet
of the seventh hole. He made the
putt for eagle on the way to a 31 on
the front side.
Norman had to weather the gusty
afternoon winds to catch Stewart,
who posted his score in the morning
before the greens dried out.
“It’s a nice feeling to finally have a
good first round,” Norman said. “I
really haven’t been a serious threat
in the five tournaments I’ve played
after the Masters. I haven’t really
been mentally keyed in. I’ve only
played good on the weekends.”
Norman lost the Masters to Larry
Mize’s miracle chip shot on the sec
ond hole of a playoff.
“I’m just more tired than any
thing,” Norman said. “I’m going to
hit the beach for two weeks.”
Stewart, the No. 2 money winner
on the PGA Tour and the Bay Hill
Classic champion, made two 40-foot
putts and used only 27 strokes on
the lush bent grass greens of the
Tournament Players Course at Las
Colinas.
Gary Hallberg, Fred Couples, and
Gary Krueger each had 5-under 65s
over the 6,767-yard course.
Former Nelson champion Ben
Crenshaw had a 66, highlighted by a
35-foot chip-in with a sand wedge on
the fourth hole.
Also at 66 were Duffy Waldorf,
Steve Elkington, D.A. Weibring,
Mark Wiebe, and Tom Byrum.
Paul Azinger, who collected
$225,000 for winning last week’s Las
Vegas Invitational, shot 69.
Fifty-five players shot sub-par
rounds and 14 w r ere at even par.
Two who didn’t crack par were de
fending champion Andy Bean and
former Nelson champion T om Wat
son. Each shot 72.
“I’m back in the saddle again,”
sang Stewart, in an off-key rendition
of Gene Autrey’s old western song.
Stewart has a string of second-
place finishes in Texas, including a
disastrous 1985 Nelson Classic in
which he double-bogeyed the final
hole and lost in a playoff to Boh
Eastwood with another double-bo

Rockets batter Sonics
to close series gap
SEATTLE (AP) — Akeem Olaju-
won scored 22 of his 33 points in
leading Houston to a 23-point half
time lead as the Rockets breezed to a
102-84 victory over Seattle T hurs
day night to cut the SuperSonics’
lead in an NBA second-round series
to 2-1.
The Sonics scored only 13 points
in the second quarter as Houston
built a 56-33 halftime lead, and
Seattle couldn’t challenge thereafter.
The fourth game of the best-of-
seven series will be played in Seattle
Saturday afternoon with the fifth
game in Houston Tuesday night.
Beaten by a combined seven
points in the first two games, the
Rockets exhibited a stifling defense
in limiting the Sonics to the lowest
halftime total in the team’s playoff
history.
Dale Ellis, who averaged 32 points
in the first two games against Hous
ton, was limited to 12 points T hurs
day. Tom Chambers led the Sonics
with 24.
Ralph Sampson added 18 points,
including 13 in the first half, for
Houston, which led 75-57 after
three quarters and by at least 15 the
rest of the way. The closest Seattle
could get was 77-62 in the first two
minutes of the final quarter.
The Rockets, who lost in the NBA
championship series to Boston in six
games last year, limited Seattle to 36
percent shooting in the first 24 min
utes.
Olajuwon scored 14 points and
Sampson 1 1 as the Rockets, who en
joyed a 19-5 run over the last 5‘A
minutes, took a 29-20 lead after one
quarter. The Rockets outscored
Seattle 16-4 in the first 6V2 minutes
of the second quarter for a 45-24
lead to effectively decide the out
come.
The Sonics won the first two
games at Houston, 111-106 in over
time last Saturday and 99-97 Tues
day night.
Jackson passed drug tests
during year— UTEP official
EL PASO (AP) — Police investi
gating the sudden death of Texas-El
Paso basketball player Hernell
“Jeep” Jackson said Thursday no
more arrests are expected in the
case, but they are awaiting lab tests
that may tell more about whether co
caine was a key factor.
Jackson, 23, died last Saturday
during a benefit basketball game,
and an autopsy said cocaine ap
peared to be a contributirig cause of
death.
A 19-year-old woman was ar
rested Wednesday on drug charges
after an unidentified witness signed
a statement saying the woman gave
Jackson cocaine at his apartment the
night before he died.
“We don’t anticipate any more
(arrests) right now,” said El Paso po
lice Capt. Luis Barba, who is in
charge of the investigation. “We’ll
wait for the toxicology report.”
Jackson was playing in a benefit
basketball game with some Houston
Oilers football players at the Fort
Bliss military reservation. He col
lapsed while sitting on the bench and
was pronounced dead an hour later.
A senior criminal justice major,
Jackson passed three drug tests dur
ing the basketball season, said UTEP
interim athletic director Richard
Burns.
The first was a routine test Oct. 14
for all UTFT athletes; the second
was March 2 for the basketball team,
before the NCAA regional tourna
ment in Tucson, Ariz., and the third
was conducted March 13 by the
NCAA, said Burns.
“I think it’s obvious we’d want to
know before (the NCAA test) to
avoid any embarrassment to the in
dividual, the team and the univer
sity,” Burns said of the March 2 test.

Stewart said he doesn't feel jinxed
when he plays in Texas.
