Magic ohnson added 15 points and 17 as sists for the Lakers. The game had an NBA playoff at tendance record crowd of 41,732. Los Angeles trailed only 59-50 at halftime despite being outscored 52- 26 in a span of 16:38 in the first and second quarters. The Lakers opened a 15-2 lead at the start of the game, hut 18 points by Dantley fueled Detroit’s big rally, which turned the 13-point deficit into the same lead — 54-41. James Worthy, who played only eight minutes because of foul trou ble and scored just two points in the first half, had eight points as the Lakers outscored Detroit 17-10 to start the third quarter, cutting the deficit to 69-67. The Pistons led 81- 75 after three quarters. A jumper by Vinnie Johnson gave the Pistons a 90-79 lead with 7:44 left in the game, but a basket by Worthy and a 3-pointer by Byron Scott got the Lakers within six. Detroit came back with six straight points, including two baskets by Thomas, for a 96-84 advantage with 4:21 to go, and the Lakers got no closer than seven the rest of the way. The Lakers, who scored only 35 points in the second half of Tues day’s 25-point defeat, took a 15-2 lead 4:19 into the game, giving it the look of a blowout as Detroit turned the ball over on six of its first eight possessions. Putting propels Lyle into 1 st at 88th Open BROOKLINE, Mass. (AP) —Mas ters champion Sandy Lyle coaxed a hard-fought 68 out of difficult con ditions on Thursday and gained a place in a three-way tie for the lead in the first round of the 88th U.S. Open Golf Championship. “I squeezed about as much out of it as I could,” said Lyle, a Scot who ranks as the outstanding figure on the PGA Tour this season, leading the earnings list while being the only three-time winner. “I can’t believe I shot 68 playing the way I did,” Lyle said. “I missed a lot of greens and I missed the’ fairway about 10 times.” But he scrambled when he had to, chipped in from about 25 yards for a birdie and finished in a rush, drop ping an 18-20 foot birdie putt on the 16th hole, then gaining a share of the lead with a 15-footer on the final hole. That put him in a tie for the lead with a couple of long-struggling Americans, Bob Gilder and Mike Nicolette. Seve Ballesteros of Spain, twice a winner of the Masters and a two- time British Open winner who gained some confidence in his putter with a playoff victory at Westchester last week, led a group at 69. He was tied with Scott Simpson, the defending Open champion, for mer Masters champion Larry Mize, Dick Mast and Paul Azinger, the 1987 Player of the Year. Davis, Scott end Reds’ win streak B CINCINNATI (AP) — Glenn Davis hit a pair of two- | run homers and Mike Scott allowed five hits before Baving with a leg injury in the eighth inning Thursday Tlight as the Houston Astros defeated the Cincinnati leds 7-4. Scott, 8-2, strained his left hamstring when he slipped coming off the mound after Chris Sabo hit a Bin-scoring grounder to third. Scott will be examined i|riday to determine the severity of the injury. Dave Smith, the third Houston pitcher, came in with two outs and a runner on first in the ninth and earned his 12th fl Scott lost his shutout in the sixth inning when Kal Haniels doubled with two out and Eric Davis hit his 10th homer. Davis homered again in the ninth. Scott struck out six to pass teammate Nolan Ryan for the National League lead with 102. ■ Glenn Davis hit both his homers off Mario Soto, 3-7, who has lost his last five starts. Soto gave up six hits and a pair of walks over five innings. The four RBI moved Davis into a tie with Pitts burgh’s Bobby Bonilla for the NL lead with 52. He has 15 homers, one shy of the league lead by San Francis co’s Will Clark and Montreal’s Andres Galarraga. Bill Doran drew a two-out walk in the first inning ahead of Davis’ homer to left. Doran also scored on Da vis’ third-inning homer to left. Billy Hatcher contributed three hits and the Astros’ fifth run when he doubled to the gap in left center in the seventh inning and scored on Eric Davis’ throwing error on the play. Davis cut the ball off as it reached the wall and tried to flip it to Daniels, but the ball flew past the left fielder for an error as Hatcher circled the bases. Houston scored twice in the eighth on Kevin Bass’ RBI double and Scott’s run-scoring single. The Astros snapped Cincinnati’s season-high win ning streak at four games and moved to within a game of first-place Los Angeles in the National League West. NCAA reduces UT’s probation MISSION, Kan. (AP) — A two- year probationary period imposed on the University of Texas at Austin football program for violations was reduced to one year, the National Collegiate Athletic Associatation said Thursday. The original penalities included a provision for the university to sub mit a report after one year indicat ing the status of 13 corrective actions ordered by the university’s presi dent, William H. Cunningham. The NCAA Committee on Infrac tions reviewed the report last month and recommended the probationary period expire Friday. Other sanctions imposed in June 1987 relating to recruiting and grants-in-aid in the football program were not affected by the decision, the NCAA said. Earlier this month, Texas compli ance officer Butch Worley said the university implemented 13 changes orderered by UT President William Cunningham. On June 13, 1987, the NCAA handed down penalties against the school for 38 rules violations. Some of the violations Texas was cited for were for the sale of compli mentary football tickets by 10 play ers.
