HOUSTON (AP) — Mitchell Wiggins scored 10 of
his game-high 24 points in the third period following
the ejection of Akeem Olajuwon as the Rockets cruised
to a 113-101 victory over the Charlotte Hornets Thurs
day night at the Summit.
Olajuwon and Charlotte rookie J.R. Reid were kicked
out for fighting at 4:44 of the third quarter when they
collided during a scramble for a rebound.
Both centers exchanged punches.
Olajuwon had hit all five of his shots in the third
quarter and finished with 21 points and 10 rebounds.
Houston was ahead 68-51 when Olajuwon and Reid
were ejected.
Reid departed with 14 points and seven rebounds.
Wiggins and Otis Thorpe took up the slack as Hous
ton extended its lead to as much as 23 points on
Thorpe’s three-point play for an 89-66 lead with 8:45
left.
Kelly Tripucka, who led the Hornets with 22 points,
scored 12 Of them in the final period, but Charlotte
couldn’t cut the lead below 10.
Thorpe finished with 23 points and 13 rebounds,
and Buck Johnson added 16 points and a career-high
11 rebounds.
Charlotte has lost all eight road games while Houston
won for the fourth straight time.
Wiggins said Olajuwon’s absence did not change the
Rockets’ game plan that much since both starting cen
ters were eliminated.
“We had good ball movement all night,” Wiggins
said. “We just had to pick it up a notch and we did.”
Johnson felt that the defense was the key to stepping
up the Rockets’ fast break.
“We pressured them on their shot attempts, picked
off the rebounds and were able to get easy baskets by
running,” Johnson said.
“The good defense triggered a good offensive ef
fort.”
quick as
a flash
Charlotte started the second quarter hitting only one
of seven floor shots during a 14-4 Rockets surge that
put Houston ahead 35-25 at the 8:50 mark.
The Rockets rebounded 38 of Charlotte’s 50 missed
shots as the Hornets hit only 42.2 percent from the
field.
“We wanted to be aggressive and put them away,”
Thorpe said.
“We’ve been sluggish against teams like Charlotte
and we wanted to execute very well on defense.
Olajuwon said he respected Reid’s style, but thought
the game was a little too aggressive.
“I like physical players,” Olajuwon said, “and I ad
mire a rookie that’s trying to establish himself by play
ing tough. He has confidence and that’s great, but he
t’t ht
doesn’t have to take cheap shots.”

Mark Randall added 17 points for
the Jayhawks and Jeff Gueldner was
perfect from 3-point range, 4-for-4,

early and had 10 turnovers but the
Jayhawks made up for the mistakes
with the outside shooting.

two 3-pointers by Gueldner.
Spurs halt Adubato’s streak
SAN ANTONIO (AP) —
Richie Adubato, the Dallas Mav
ericks’ new coach, found out
Thursday night that you can’t win
them all.
Terry Cummings scored 20
points, including a turnaround
jumper with 47 seconds remain
ing, as the San Antonio Spurs
beat Dallas 93-89 and handed
Adubato his first loss in two
games since replacing John Mac
Leod.
“Nothing feels as good as a
win,” Adubato said. “It’s a diffi
cult loss because we played well
enough to win.”
Rookie David Robinson had 15
points and 17 rebounds for the
Spurs, who turned back a Dallas
rally after leading by 12 in the
fourth quarter. The Mavericks
chipped away and pulled to 90-88
with 4:10 remaining.
San Antonio outscored Dallas
3-1 in the final four minutes,
missing five of six free throws.
Dallas could do better from the
field. The Mavericks were led by
Rolando Blackman and Derek
Harper with 20 points apiece.
Adubato credited Robinson’s
dominance in the middle as a key
factor in the Spurs’ victory.
“He intimidated our players in
the middle,” Adubato said. “He’s
one of the league’s premier
blocked-shot players. He was the
difference.”
Robinson rejected five shots
and Spurs coach Larry Brown
echoed Adubato’s praise.
“The way David hit the dt (Cor
tensive boards tonight was pliff
nomenal,” Brown said, “DefensiB^
vely, 1 think we did the ri^kp ^
things down the stretch.”
“Dallas did a real good job(i
slowing down our offensiil
game,” Brown said. “We jul
didn’t execute the way we’resujf
posed to, and they had a lotto!
with it.”
