Malone leads West to big All Star win
HOUSTON (AP) — Playing with
out the real Magic, Karl Malone and
John Stockton created some magic
of their own Sunday, carrying the
West to a 143-134 victory over the
East in the NBA All-Star Game.
Stockton, the only point guard on
the West team after scheduled
(starter Magic Johnson was injured
on Wedneday night, directed a re
cord-breaking attack in the first half,
wowing a record All-Star crowd at
the Astrodome.
The West led by as many as 31
points en route to an 87-59 halftime
lead, breaking by one the All-Star re
cord for points in a half set by the
West in 1962. The East got as close
as seven in the fourth quarter before
faltering.
Stockton had an All-Star record
nine assists in the first quarter,
breaking Johnson’s 1984 mark of
eight, although he didn’t play the
last 3:18.
Malone, Stockton’s Utah Jazz tea
mmate, scored 18 of his 28 points in
the first half and was 8-for-9 from
the field in the first two periods,
most of them on dunks or feathery
layups. Malone was selected the
game’s Most Valuable Player.
Dale Ellis scored 27 points and
Alex English 16 for for the West.
Stockton finished with 11 points and
17 assists.
Michael Jordan scored 12 of his
28 points in the fourth quarter to
lead the East, which still leads the
All-Star series 25-14. The East had
won seven of the previous nine
games. Isiah Thomas added 19
points and 14 assists for the East.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, in his 20th
and last season, appeared in his 18th
All-Star Game, missing his first five
shots and scoring four points. He set
the career All-Star scoring record
last year.
The attendance of 44,735 broke
the All-Star record of 43,146 set at
the Indianapolis Hoosier Dome in
1985. It was the largest NBA crowd
ever away from the Pontiac Silver-
dome, which has the four largest
ever.
The West broke away from a 12-
12 tie by outscoring the East 35-19 in
the last 8:14 of the first period.
The spurt started with a 13-2 run
during which Malone scored six con
secutive points and Ellis five.
With Stockton out, the West of
fense hardly slowed down. Chris
Mullin, a 6-foot-7 forward, took over
at point guard, but got help bringing
the ball upcourt from 6-10 Tom
Chambers, who scored 12 points in
5:14, helping the West increase its
margin to 57-33 with 8:44 left in the
first half.
Only the outside shooting of Ellis
and English, who had 10 points in
the first quarter, kept the game from
being a complete fastbreak, slam-
East squad rallies
in wake of blowout
dunk test for the West.
While the West was blowing by
them, the East players couldn’t get in
synch. Their most memorable play
was on a botched alley-oop bounce
pass by Thomas in the first quarter.
With the East missing 10 of 14
free throws in the second period, the
West expanded its lead to 76-45 be
fore settling for a 28-point halftime
bulge.
The East rallied in the third pe
riod as Thomas directed the offense
and scored eight points himself.
The West saw the East narrow the
margin to 109-96 late in the third
period on a dunk by Moses Malone,
finishing off an 11-0 run.
The West scored six consecutive
points after that for a 115-96 advan
tage, but the East responded with a
20-8 run, making its deficit only 123-
116 with 5:56 left.
Ellis then scored five points and
Malone four in less than a minute’s
time to put the game out of reach.

HOUSTON (AP) — Two players
do not an NBA All-Star team make,
no more than one half does an All-
Star game make.
Charles Barkley and Michael Jor
dan rallied the East squad from a 31-
point deficit, but it wasn’t enough as
the West won 143-134 on Sunday.
“The fans got a little relaxed in
the first half because we came out
sluggish and fell so far behind,” said
Jordan, who scored 12 of his 28
points in the fourth quarter. ‘‘It was
a little embarrassing. The team
seemed a little lackadaisical and
didn’t do much in the first half. But
we did make a comeback.”
The West led 74-45 with 3:53 left
in the first half and 87-59 at half
time. Even though the gap was too
much overcome, Barkley felt draw-
ngcloser was enough.
“As long as I get my $2 million a
year, I’m not going to worry about
aeing embarrassed,” said Barkley,
who scored 17 points. “We just
didn’t want to get beat bad. If they
dad beaten us bad it would have
reen embarrassing but we came back
md made it respectable.”
Jordan and Detroit’s Isiah
Thomas provided one of the biggest
crowd-pleasing plays late in the first
half when Thomas got the ball on a
breakaway. Although he was all
alone for the basket, Thomas instead
bounced the ball off the backboard
and Jordan followed behind with a
slam dunk.
“Isiah told me to be ready so I
knew he was going to do some
thing,” Jordan said. “After I saw the
King leads Oklahoma
past top-ranked Arizona,
Carolina rolls over Cavs
ball come off the backboard it was
easy to follow up. I just let my ath
letic ability take over.”
Karl Malone of the Utah Jazz
scored 28 points and was named
Most Valuable Player. He was joined
by teammates John Stockton, who
had 17 assists, and Mark Eaton.
West coach Pat Riley of the Los
Angeles Lakers used three plays
from the Utah playbook to jazz
things up.
“Pat put in three plays from Utah
because our three guys could run
them so well,” Malone said. “John
deserves half of this award.”
Stockton wouldn’t take any credit.
“Whether I was leading the break
or someone else was, he was still the
Mailman,” Stockton said. “He did it
on his own.”
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar got the big
gest response from the record
44,735 crowd. Abdul-Jabbar, a re
placement for the injured Magic
Johnson, played 13 minutes, scored
four points and got two rebounds.
“I can deal with it without being
sad,” Abdul-Jabbar said of his final
All-Star game. “I was happy just to
be here and be a part ol it plus we
won for a change.”
Dale Ellis of Seattle completed a
successful weekend with 27 points
for the West. He also won $20,000 in
Saturday’s long-distance shootout.
“It’s nice to be an All-Star, but it’s
not that important,” Ellis said. “I
thought it was important to get off to
a good start but I’m never satisfied.
I’m always trying to get better.”

Oklahoma 82, Arizona 80
Fifth-ranked Oklahoma got 24
points from Stacey King and made
crucial free throws in the closing
minute Sunday to beat top-ranked
Arizona 82-80 at Norman, Okla.,
and set up a possible return to the
No. 1 spot.
King scored 17 points in the sec
ond half when the Sooners — who
beat third-ranked Missouri Thurs
day — overcame a seven-point defi
cit.
Oklahoma, which outscored the
Wildcats 30-12 from 3-point range,
improved to 21-3 and ran its home
court winning streak to 27 games.
Arizona, despite 26 points by Sean
Elliott, fell to 18-3 and saw its 10-
game winning streak end.
The Wildcats’ loss opened the way
for a new No. 1 team for the fifth
straight week.
One free throw by Mookie Blay
lock with 33 seconds remaining gave
the Sooners a 78-75 lead. Blaylock
missed his second try, but teammate
William Davis grabbed the rebound
and was fouled.
Davis then sank two free throws,
making the score 80-75 with 30 sec
onds left.
After Elliott made a jumper to
bring the Wildcats within 80-77,
Blaylock was fouled with 14 seconds
remaining and made both ends of
the one-and-one situation to secure
the victory.
North Carolina 85, Virginia 67
Steve Bucknall scored 19 points as
No. 6 North Carolina beat Virginia
85-67 Sunday at Chapel Hill, N.C.,
avenging a 106-83 loss to the Cava
liers last month.
North Carolina, 19-5 and 6-3 in
the Atlantic Coast Conference, made
eight of its first 1 1 shots while Vir
ginia made just two of its first 12.
The Cavaliers, 13-8 and 5-4, never
got the deficit below seven points af
ter that.
Virginia made its only serious run
by scoring six straight points, five by
Bryant Stith, to get within 49-42 with
14:46 remaining. North Carolina
came back with a 9-1 run.
Hogs, Texas stay atop SWC
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Texas Longhorns hope the
Arkansas Razorbacks’ reputation as
a shaky road team holds true this
week in visits to Dallas and College
Station.
If coach Nolan Richardson’s Hogs
can defeat Southern Methodist and
the Texas Aggies on the road this
week then they will be in great posi
tion to earn the top seed in the post
season tournment in Dallas.
Arkansas has lost to Texas Chris
tian and Texas Tech away from the
friendly confines of Barnhill Arena.
The Hogs and ’Horns each
reached the century mark on Satur
day in staying locked atop the SWC
ladder with 9-2 records.
Arkansas whipped TCU 100-60 to
extract a measure of revenge for an
earlier loss in Fort Worth.
TCU lost Reggie Smith, Tony Ed
mond and Rich Antee to fouls.
“The crowd put pressure on the
officials and it went from there,”
said TCU coach Moe Iba. “When
you run out of players, what can you
do?”
Texas’ Lance Blanks and Travis
Mays scored 33 points each in a 116-
74 victory over the Rice Owls, who
are 3-8 in SWC play.
“We tried zone and man-to-man
and if you have any other defenses
to try call them out to me and I’ll lis
ten,” said Rice coach Scott Thomp
son.
“When both Lance and Travis are
tracking, we are an awfully tough
team to beat,” said Texas coach Tom
Penders.
In other games, Houston finally
won a close one, nipping Texas Tech
71-67 and SMU pounded Baylor 64-
51.
TCU is third in the league race
with a 7-4 record followed by Tech
at 6-5, Houston and SMU each at 5-
5, Texas A&M at 3-7, Rice at 3-8,
and Baylor at 1-10. Every team is eli
gible for the post-season tournament
except the ninth-place team.
In other games on Wednesday be
sides Arkansas-SMU, Texas A&M is
at Baylor, Houston is at Texas, and
TCU is at Rice.
Arkansas’ other games shouldn’t
be a big problem for the Hogs.
Baylor at Arkansas, Arkansas is at
Rice, and the Hogs host Houston in
the SWC regular-season finale on
March 5.
TCU’s Danny Hughes says of the
Hogs: “Arkansas is very different on
the road. This is a very tough league
and Arkansas is going to have a hard
time through the rest of the season.”
However, if Arkansas ends up
tied with Texas at the end of the reg
ular season, the Hogs earn the top
seed because they’ve already de
feated Texas twice.

UCLA Bruins
AUSTIN (AP) — Craig New
kirk went 4-for-f> and knocked in
three runs as the Texas long
horns completed a sweep of
UCLA with a 14-4 win over the
Bruins Sunday afternoon*
The Longhorns remain un
beaten on the year at 5-0, while
UCLA dropped to 2-4. Texas de
feated the Bruins 6-3 Saturday
and 4-3 Friday in the first meet
ing between the two teams.
The game was delayed twice —
once after Texas All-American
pitcher Kirk Dressendorfer
heaned UCLA’s Paul Ellis in the
hack of the head and the Bruins’
bench, including coach Gary Ad
ams, spilled onto the field in pro
test.
The second time, home plate
umpire Tom Jenkins had to re
turn to the locker room to check
on a rule involving an interfer
ence call at second on a double
play.
In his second outing of the sea
son, Dressendorfer was shaky
throughout his eight inning stint,
hut improved to 2-0.
Last year’s Southwest Confer
ence most valuable player spotted
the Bruins a 2-0 lead in the top of
the third. Tire righthander al
lowed eight hits and three walks,
while striking out six.
UCLA starter Dave Zancanaro,
1-1, took the loss after lasting
only into the third inning. Five
Bruin pitchers threw five wild
pitches and gave up 13 hits.
