Stars make series memorable
INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) —
James Worthy. Isiah Thomas.
Magic Johnson.
In their own ways, all guar
anteed that the 1988 NBA
Championship series would be a
memorable one.
Worthy won postseason Most
Valuable Player honors by aver
aging 28.5 points in the Los An
geles Lakers’ four victories over
the Detroit Pistons. He had 36
points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists
in the Lakers’ 108-103 victory in
Game 7 that gave them the NBA’s
first successive titles since 1968-
69.
The first “triple-double” in
Worthy’s career gave him MVP
honors for the first time.
“I guess this was my greatest
game, under the circumstances,”
Worthy said of Tuesday night’s
performance. “I gave it all I had.
I knew I had all summer to rest.”
Thomas, the Pistons guard
whose courage in the face of a
badly sprained ankle nearly won
the series for Detroit, said
Worthy’s performance made the
difference.
“I wasn’t surprised that he
would have a game like that,”
Thomas said.
Thomas, who said Monday
that it would take a miracle for
him to play, was still on crutches
when he arrived in the Forum be
fore the game.
He played 19 minutes in the
first half and scored 10 points,
four of them in the final seconds
of the second quarter to give De
troit a 52-47 halftime lead.
But he managed only nine
minutes and no points in the sec
ond half.
“In the second half, it tight
ened up on me and I couldn’t do
much,” Thomas said.
Thomas said he didn’t consider
losing to the Lakers a devastating
defeat.
“We lost to one of the best
teams in history, so it’s not disap
pointing,”he said. “If we were
beaten by any other team than
the Lakers, it would be disap
pointing.”
Johnson, who had 19 points
and 14 assists in the seventh
game, won the MVP award in
1980, 1982 and 1987, but he was
outpolled 7-4 by Worthy.
“Playing in this championship
series was the hardest thing for
me to do,” Johnson said. “Trying
not to be friends with Isiah —that
was the most difficult thing I ever
had to go through.”
Scott, taking advantage of
Thomas’ worsening limp, saved
the Lakers with 12 points in the
first 6:25 of the third quarter,
helping Los Angeles turn the
five-point halftime deficit into a
70-59 lead.
Detroit never caught up after
that although the Pistons got
within two three times in the
fourth quarter.
Worthy won a series-long scor
ing battle with Detroit’s Adrian
Dantley by outscoring him 36-16
in Game 7.
The Lakers built a 94-79 lead
midway through the fourth quar
ter, but Detroit closed the gap to
98-96 with 2:50 left. A tip-in by
Worthy with 2:25 left gave Los
Angeles a 100-96 edge, and he
added a free throw with 14 sec
onds to go, making it 106-102.
“When we were up 15, we kept
saying to ourselves that we have
to be strong,” Worthy said. “The
Pistons are known as an aggres
sive team. They’re not quitters.”
Hornets, Heat could add former stars
NEW YORK (AP) — Seven former all-stars
are among the players available to the Charlotte
Hornets and Miami Heat in Thursday’s NBA ex
pansion draft.
But because of age, injuries and big contract
obligations, there is no certainty that any of the
six will be among the 23 players selected by the
expansion teams which begin play in 1988.
Denver’s Calvin Natt, Marques Johnson and
Norm Nixon of the Los Angeles Clippers, New
Jersey’s Otis Birdsong, Andrew Toney of Phila
delphia, Walter Davis of Phoenix and Kelly Tri-
pucka of Utah are the all-star names on the list of
unprotected players.
Miami, which will choose first, will get 12 play
ers and Charlotte 11. Each existing team will lose
one player.
Tne Hornets will choose eighth and the Heat
ninth in the college draft on Tuesday.
It was also reported that the Heat is interested
in Atlanta guard Randy Wittman as its possible
first pick.
NBA personnel who were not identified told
the Miami Herald the Heat would probably
choose Wittman first, then trade him for a future
No. 1 pick or a pick in the college draft.
At 28, Wittman would be more useful on the
bench of an established team than with an expan
sion team, sources said. Wittman averaged 10
points per game for Atlanta this year.
Tripucka, at 29 the youngest of the former all
stars, is the most attractive to the expansion
teams despite a long-term contract for close to $ 1
million a year.
Tripucka, who averaged from 19.1 to 26.5
points in five seasons with Detroit, wasted away
on the Jazz bench the last two seasons.
He declined to talk to the media before the
draft, but his lawyer, Bob Woolf, said Tripucka
“is excited about the opportunity to play again.
That’s the most important thing to him.”

didn’t realize how much I was
I harming my body. When I looked
in the mirror, all I saw was fat. I didn’t
think there was anything wrong with what
I was doing. I just wanted to be thin and
beautiful.
I promised myself this would be my last
binge. Tomorrow I would stick to my diet.
But it kept happening again. And again.
No one knew the terrible game I was
playing with myself. Not my parents. Not
even my best friend.
Until Mom and Dad noticed how un
happy I was. Then they knew I had a
problem. They risked confronting me. I
denied I had a problem.
But I knew it was a lie.
I saw how my obsession had hurt my
relationships with my friends and my
family. I wasn’t close to anyone anymore,
didn’t trust anyone. I felt so alone.
I couldn’t stand it anymore. I was tired
of spending my life constantly obsessed
with food.
That was the worst part. Discovering
the physical effects of what I’d been
doing. I never thought binging and
purging was doing such serious damage.
I’m lucky my family got me help.

’87 champ ‘Cash’es
in on comeback victory
WIMBLEDON, England (AP) —
Defending Wimbledon champion
Pat Cash, playing on the same court
where Boris Becker was dethroned
in the second round last year,
avoided a similar fate Wednesday
with a stirring comeback.
The brash Australian was pushed
to the brink by 21-year-old Javier
Frana of Argentina before rallying
for a 6-2, 4-6, 3-6, 6-1,6-4 victory be
fore a standing-room-only crowd at
Court 1 of the All England Club.
Berating officials and himself af
ter losing two sets in a row, Cash ap
peared to be following in the foot
steps of Becker, who was shocked by
Australian Peter Doohan in last
year’s tournament. But he regained
his composure and his strokes to win
the final two sets and move into the
third round, where he will face
countryman John Fitzgerald.
“He played fantastically well for
two sets,” Cash said. “There was only
one way for him to go, and that was
down.”
Frana, who was beaten 6-1, 6-1 by
Cash two weeks ago at Queen’s Club,
was playing in his first Wimbledon
tournament. But he obviously wasn’t
intimidated by his opponent or the
historic surroundings.
“Once I got onto the court, I for
got where I was and who I was play
ing,” said Frana, ranked 80th in the
world.
About 50 yards away on Court 2,.
Becker was wiping out the memory
of last year’s defeat with an impres
sive 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 victory over Karel
Novacek of Czechoslovakia. The 20-
year-old West German, who won the
title in 1985 and 1986, boomed 17
aces to give him a total of 37 in his
first two matches.
Top-seeded Ivan Lendl had a
more difficult time against Austra
lian Darren Cahill, a grass-court spe
cialist who beat Cash in the third
round at Queen’s Club. Lendl pre
vailed 5-7, 6-2, 6-4, 6-4, but not be
fore he gave the Centre Court crowd
an uncharacteristic display of emo
tion.
Lendl, who made a couple of be-
hind-the-back returns on service
faults, was slapped with a warning
for verbal abuse after shouting at
umpire Richard Ings in the final set.
Clutch Bell hit keys Astros
HOUSTON (AP) — Bob Knep-
per and Juan Agosto combined on a
six-hitter and Buddy Bell’s two-run
double highlighted a four-run
eighth inning as the Houston Astros
defeated the Cincinnati Reds 5-1
Wednesday night.
Danny Jackson, 7-4, retired the
first two batters in the eighth but
Glenn Davis singled, Kevin Bass
walked and Bell doubled home both
runners. Rafael Ramirez singled to
score Bell and Alex Trevino hit an
RBI double to chase Jackson.
Bell started Houston’s winning
rally with a double Tuesday.
Knepper worked seven innings,
allowing five hits, walking three and
striking out four. Agosto, 5-0, al
lowed one hit in two innings.
Knepper had held the Reds to two
hits before allowing Cincinnati to tie
the game in the sixth.
Nick Esasky doubled to left, went
to third on Lloyd McClendon’s
groundnut and scored when Dave
Concepcion hit a 3-2 pitch for a sin
gle.
