Price hits 27 as Cavs hammer Rockets RICHFIELD, Ohio (AP) — The Cleveland Cavaliers weren’t about to waste a rare appearance on network television. “We’ve played well all year and we finally got a chance to show the whole country what we can do,” Mark Price said Monday after he scored 27 points in Cleveland’s 1 10- 90 victory over the Houston Rockets. It was the Cavaliers’ first regular- season home game on national net work television in 11 years. The game was shown by CBS. “We don’t get a chance to play on national TV very often, and espe cially not at home,” said Price, w'ho was 10-of-12 from the field, includ ing 2-of-2 on 3-pointers, and 5-of-5 from the line. won whenever he got the ball. “That makes it tough inside,” Ola- juwon said. “They come at you from all angles.” substitutes freely the rest of die way Mike Woodson had 18 points 1 Houston. Daugherty scored 18,R« Harper had 16 and Nance 15 Cleveland. Softball The victory was the Cavaliers’ 18th straight at home and improved their NBA-leading record to 39-12. “That team is scary,” said Rockets’ coach Don Chaney, whose team beat Cleveland 106-105 in Houston Dec. 6. “They have tremendous size. That’s the key to their defense. You may beat one guy, and the next guy either blocks the shot or intimidates you so you won’t make it.” “Akeem had tough points, and that’s a credit to Brad,” Nance said. “Mike was coming over to double- team him, and then I was trying to get the blocks.” Houston, 31-19, had a four-game winning streak stopped. It marked only the second time Cleveland has beaten Houston in their last 10 The Cavaliers fell behind by fin early but went on an 11-0 run top up 15-9 with seven minutes the first quarter.

A&M has won three na tional championships and finished second twice since 1982. “We have had an unbelievable run of great play the last eight years and this may be a down year for us,” Brock said. “The girls don’t think so. They think they are better than ninth, so who knows.” If tradition has anything to do with it, A&M could win a fourth na tional championship. Larry Nance blocked seven shots and the Cavaliers used an effective double team to make Houston’s Akeem Olajuwon work hard for all of his 21 points, more than three un der his average. Mike Sanders rushed from the weak side to help Brad Daugherty double-team Olaju- meetings. The Cavaliers led by eight at the half and gradually widened the mar gin to as many as 20 in the third quarter behind nine points by Daug herty in the period.
