Rockets cool Heat,
Bulls down Dallas
Associated Press
Rockets 118, Heat 93
Otis Thorpe scored six points and
Purvis Short had five during a 19-4
scoring run by the Houston Rockets
that powered the team to a 118-93
win over the Miami Heat Tuesday
night in Houston.
Leading 74-73 with 1:30 left in
the third quarter, Houston out-
scored the heat 19-4 to take control
of the game and gain a 92-77 lead
with 7:45 minutes left to play.
The Heat was never closer than
13 again as the Rockets dominated
the remaining minutes.
The win snapped a four-game los
ing streak for Houston, while the
loss was Miami’s 11th straight on the
road. The Heat’s road record now
stands at 1-19.
Sleepy Floyd led the Rockets with
22 points, followed by Akeem Olaju-
won with 20 points and 12 rebounds
and Short with 15 points.
The Heat was led by Billy Thomp
son, who had 20 points. Kevin Ed
wards had 18 points and Grant Long
had 15.
With Miami leading 50-47, Hous
ton went on a 13-4 scoring run to
lead 60-54 with 6:33 left in the third
quarter.
The Rockets led 74-67 before the
Heat scored six straight points to cut
its deficit to one point, 74-73, with
1:30 remaining.
Neither team led by more than
two points until the Heat scored six
straight points to take a 20-16 lead
with 3:08 left in the first quarter.
Bulls 109, Mavericks 9l
Michael Jordan scored nine of his
24 points in the fourth quarter after
sitting out seven minutes with a knee
bruise and the Chicago Bulls handed
the Dallas Mavericks their 10th
straight road defeat 109-91 Tuesday
night in Chicago.
Dallas, which trailed by 13 at the
half, closed the gap to 65-59 a min
ute after Jordan fell to the floor at
tempting to block a shot by Mark
Aguirre with 5:21 to go in the third
quarter.
He lay on the court for several
minutes before limping to the side
lines.
Jordan came back with 10:14 left
in the game and the Bulls leading
82-73. Two three-points plays by
Dave Corzine and five points by Jor
dan gave Chicago a 93-77 lead with
7:12 left and the Mavericks didn’t
threaten again.
Bill Cartwright scored 13 of his 23
points in the third quarter for Chi
cago, which has won seven of its last
eight games.
Aguirre and Rolando Blackman
each scored 22 for the Mavericks,
who are 6-11 on the road after a 6-1
start.
Jordan, who has played 302 NBA
games, needs 33 points to reach
10,000 for his career faster than any
other player except Wilt Chamber-
lain. The Bulls’ next game is
Wednesday night at Philadelphia.
With Jordan on the bench, the
Bulls went on a 14-4 spurt in the sec
ond quarter for a 44-34 lead.
Jordan scored Chicago’s last four
baskets of the first half, giving the
Bulls a 54-41 halftime lead.
Sukova bumps Martina
from Australian Open
MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) —
Helena Sukova, who halted Martina
Navratilova’s 74-match winning
streak at the 1984 Australian Open,
knocked the three-time champion
out of the Grand Slam tournament
again Tuesday night.
The big-serving Czech beat Nav
ratilova 6-2, 3-6, 9-7 in a dramatic
quarterfinal before a packed center-
court crowd at the National Tennis
Stadium.
“The last time I beat her here, I
was just trying to win a set,” Sukova
said. “This time, I thought I had a
chance to win.”
Navratilova twice served for the
match in the seesaw final set, but Su
kova held her off with a series of siz
zling backhand winners.
After Sukova saved two break
points and held for an 8-7 lead, Nav
ratilova appeared ready to even the
match again, moving ahead 30-love
with an ace. However, Sukova
quickly gained a match point and
watched a shaky Navratilova hand
her the victory on a double fault.
“It was nerve-wracking out there,”
Sukova said. “I was trying very hard
not to think about the score.”
Navratilova, who hasn’t won a
Grand Slam title since the 1987 U.S.
Open, was upset by her failure in the
clutch.
“I gave her the match at the end,”
she said. “I wasn’t outplayed. It was
just a matter of a couple of points
here and there.”
The victory was Sukova’s second
in a row against Navratilova, but
only her fourth in their 25-match se
ries.
Sukova’s semifinal opponent will
be unseeded Belinda Cordwell of
New Zealand, who beat Sweden’s
Catarina Lindqvist 6-2, 2-6, 6-1. The
other semifinal pits defending
champion Steffi Graf of West Ger
many against archrival Gabriela Sa-
batini of Argentina.
Graf, who hasn’t lost a set in the
tournament, breezed past eighth-
seeded Claudia Kohde-Kilsch of
West Germany 6-2, 6-3 in 55 min
utes, while Sabatini rallied from 1-3
down in the final set to beat sixths
seeded Zina Garrison of the United
States 6-4, 2-6, 6-4.
In men’s play, longtime rivals
Ivan Lendl and John McEnroe set
up a quarterfinal showdown with
straight-set victories.
Lendl recovered from a slow start
to beat Israeli Amos Mansdorf 7-6
(7-2), 6-4, 6-2, while McEnroe
cruised to a 7-6 (7-4), 6-2, 6-3 victory
over fellow American Aaron
Krickstein.
“I’ve come a long way,” said
McEnroe, who is trying to regain the
form that made him the world’s No.
1 player in the early 1980s. “I feel
more comfortable mentally, and my
game is coming together.”
Two-time champion Stefan Ed-
berg is scheduled to play 11 th-
seeded Thomas Muster of Austria in
another quarterfinal Wednesday.
Edberg injured his back near the
end of his 6-4, 6-0, 6-2 win over
hometown hero Pat Cash and may
not be able to play.
Muster reached his first Grand
Slam quarterfinal with a 6-3, 6-2, 7-5
victory over unseeded Magnus Gus-
tafsson of Sweden.
Metcalf
(Continued from page 9)
margin of the loss.
He hoped his team would regroup in
time for their first round game
against Oklahoma in the All-College
Classic in Oklahoma City.
The Sooners were expected to win
big —they won by a bigger margin
(128-80) than anyone expected.
The effects of the big losses
weren’t realized until the Aggies lost
their opening two conference games
to Texas Christian and Southern
Methodist.
“We had a little bit of a letdown
defensively at some times, but we
were competitive,” Metcalf said.
“It’s tough on me because I’ve got
to keep (the team’s) morale up,”
Metcalf said. “Donald is having a
tough time with this because this is
his last time around.
“He doesn’t have too much pa
tience with some of the younger
guys. Those guys have a lot more
time to learn.”
One of the “young guys” who has
become a story recently is sopho
more guard Lynn Suber.
Suber, a junior college transfer,
has stepped forward as a scorer for
the Aggies since Metcalf made the
decision to go to a quicker offense
following the loss to TCU Jan. 4.
Suber has scored in double fig
ures in every game since the TCU
loss and is the Aggies’ leading scorer
from outside. He’s provided some
help for Thompson, the Aggies’
leading scorer overall and the main
inside threat.
“Lynn is a good shooter,” Metcalf
said. “He’s gettin’ more points than
he deserves because he doesn’t con
centrate enough on defense.”
Metcalf feels suber is indicative of
most of the younger players on the
team Suber seems preoccupied
with scoring while having the ability
to be a good defensive player.
“I don’t think he totally realizes
the importance of playing at both
ends,” Metcalf said. “He’s quick
enough to be a better defensive
player than he is. He loves to play
and he’s a scorer.”
Thompson has been a constant
source of points for the Aggies.
The senior forward has led the
Aggies on and off the court while
dealing with the frustration of the
past few weeks.
Metcalf said Thompson has been
affected by the slump.
“He’s our captain,” Metcalf said.
“I think the adversity we’ve been
through has affected him more than
the others because he realizes this is
it for him.”
But this isn’t it for Metcalf.
He’s got plans for the future and
he hopes the future begins now.
“This is an important week for
us,” he said. “I’d sure like to get it
turned around before we go to Aus
tin (to play Texas).”
Metcalf feels the Aggies are close
to putting it together.
“I do think we’re gettin’ closer. In
the last two years we’ve been build
ing a solid foundation for our pro
gram to return to where it was.
“I think we’re coming together we
just need to have some success be
cause we’re working too hard and
the players are layin’ it out on the
court. We’ve got some guys that
really want to win.”
