A fifth game, if necessary, would return to Dallas on Saturday. But the Rockets aren’t anticipat ing a continuation of the inside-out side antics of Olajuwon and Floyd. “We certainly can’t count on two guys scoring 40 points,” Rockets for ward Jim Petersen said. “It’s very im portant that we don’t get complacent in thinking that kind of thing is going to happen again.” The Rockets have managed to shut down Blackman and Mark Aguirre in the first two games. The Mavericks won the series opener 120-110 despite off shooting nights for Aguirre and Blackman. “People like myself, Purvis (Short) and Rodney McCray have been fo cusing on the defense because we re alize how explosive Blackman and Aguirre can be,” Rockets guard Rob ert Reid said. “But we can help pro vide more balanced scoring if that’s what it takes to win Game 3.” Floyd’s performance was a bad dream for new Mavericks Coach John MacLeod, who came to Dallas from Phoenix. “I have seen Sleepy Floyd play great games when I was at Phoenix,” MacLeod said. “But he had a tre mendous game. Sleepy pitched two different games. One game was not so good (first playoff) and the other was.” The Mavericks were unable to match the Rockets in the closing minutes of Saturday’s game after it was tied at 101. “From then on, it was just a matter of who was going to make the big plays down the stretch,” Dallas cen ter James Donaldson said. “It was a game we never controlled. When it came down to the wire, they made all the great plays. We’re in some trou ble now.” Robertson: Spurs can win the length'-,'; 1 ' ved.

We play Hers much better at home.” The Spurs have played the Lakers dose in the early minutes, and Los Angeles Coach Pat Riley said his vet eran team has had to adjust to that. “It was not a case of us not coming ready to play,” Riley said. “It was a case of the Spurs playing at the top of their game. I don’t know if we were flat as much as they were great.” It is a failure to maintain the pace that is killing the Spurs. Sunday, for instance, the Spurs scored the first eight points of the game, then went on a 9-0 surge midway through the opening period to go up 19-6. But Los Angeles went on a 9-2 run at the end of the period to cut the deficit to seven. “We’ve just got to buckle down,” Spurs Coach Bob Weiss said. “We can’t let down. We’ve got to get one game at a time.” The Lakers connected on 56.2 percent of its field-goal attempts Sunday, compared to 47.1 for the Spurs. The Lakers also won the bat tle of the boards 51-41. The Spurs had tried to stop the Lakers’ Kurt Rambis, who dev astated the Spurs Friday, but only scored four points Sunday. Conse quently, former Spur Mychal Thompson scored 29 points on his old teammates. “Thompson was great,” Weiss said. “I guess we spent too much time in practice trying to stop Kurt Rambis.” Robertson wound up leading the Spurs in scoring for the second con secutive game, finishing with 28. Weiss said the Spurs must capital ize during the close contests: “We’ve got to win the close ones because they win most of the blowouts.” A fourth game, if necessary, will be played in San Antonio, after which the series would move to the Forum in Inglewood, Calif. k-onCeltics, Lakers, Jordan living up seasc to expectations in 1 st-round action of the l.

(across from Post Oak Mall) 693-3742 BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Bruins have shifted their attention from the most successful franchise in NHL history to one of the least successful — unless you count the last two months. Having eliminated the Montreal Canadiens, who have won 22 Stanley Cups, in the Adams Division final, the Bruins looked ahead to New Jer sey, their opponent in Monday night’s opener of the best-of-seven Cup semifinals. “They’ve come a lot further than anyone expected,” Boston coach Terry O’Reilly said of the New Jer sey Devils. “They’ve shown they’re a very serious hockey club.” Before this season, the Devils’ franchise made the playoffs just once in 13 years while playing in Kansas City, Colorado and New Jer sey. The team got in this year by going 8-1-1 in their last 10 games to finish fourth in the Patrick Division. The roll continued with playoff conquests of the New York Islanders and Washington Capitals, who fin ished first and second in the divi sion. Goalie Sean Burke is the major reason for New Jersey’s success. He had a 10-1 regular-season record af ter joining the Devils from the Ca nadian Olympic team and was in goal for the clinching 3-2 victory Sat urday night in Washington. He handles comparisons to for mer Montreal goalie Ken Dryden with the same composure with which he handles opponents’ shots.
