The Mavs rallied from a 17-point deficit in the second half to come within two points at 87-85 with 5:45 to play. But Kersey, Porter, and Clyde Drexler beat back the rally. Kersey scored 29 points, Porter had 20 points and Drexler made 20. Rolando Blackman led Dallas with 20 points and Herb Williams con tributed 17 off the bench.

The Pistons built a 15-point lead in the third quarter, then withstood an Indiana rally within five points midway through the final period. Detroit put the game away with three baskets apiece by Laimbeer jdm and Dennis Rodman during a 12-4 spurt in the closing minutes. John Salley added 17 points for Detroit, including 16 in the first half, when the Pistons built a 54-45 lead. Reggie Miller had 22 points and Detlef Schrempf added 20 for In diana.

Spurs take bite out of Nuggets DENVER (AP) — Terry Cum mings scored 28 points, including 10 to thwart a fierce Denver rally in the third quarter, and the San Antonio Spurs raced to a 131-120 victory Tuesday night to sweep the first- round playoff series. The Spurs, who advanced to meet >pi the Portland Trail Blazers, outshot Denver 56 percent to 40 percent and held a 58-40 rebounding edge. Spurs center David Robinson, the NBA’s rookie of the year, and Willie Anderson added 26 points each. But it was Cummings’ play in the third quarter that proved critical. Down 14 points early in the quar ter, the cold-shooting Nuggets climbed back with an 11-2 run to draw to 69-64. Cummings then hit five jumpers over a span of 3:1 1 to help extend the Spurs’ lead to 13 points. After the Nuggets cut the deficit to four points, San Antonio scored the next nine points — five by An derson and four by Cummings —for an 87-74 advantage. But the Nuggets wouldn’t go qui etly. They drew within five points early in the fourth quarter after a pair of free throws by Todd Lichti and Alex English’s baseline jumper. Staying within striking distance, they cut the Spurs’ lead to 121-118 on Fat Lever’s 3-pointer with 1:27 remaining. But Cummings scored on a follow and Anderson added a three-point play to clinch the victory. English, possibly playing his final game in a Denver uniform because of differences with Coach Doug Moe, led the Nuggets with 24 points, 18 in the second half. Lever had 20. Wudel (Continued from page 7) to the floor. Coach Larry Brown said the display blew his mind. The demand for Spurs playoff tickets reached such a frenzy that a local judge had to rule on a case between two fans who shared season tickets and who both wanted the playoff tickets. The litigants were brothers. So the NBA really is “fantastic,” as are all the other sports leagues. Take the recent revivals of football’s Green Bay Packers or baseball’s Baltimore Orioles last season. Their lowly fans became crowds of raised hands as the teams rose above all expectations. However, some teams are content to live in the cellars of their leagues. It’s a common sight to see teams like the Seattle Mariners, Atlanta Falcons, and Sacramento Kings lingering in the troughs of their leagues. The never-ending drought of PEKING EXPRESS MAGNIFICENT CHINESE BUFFETS Over 20 Selections of Salads & Entrees, Iced land went on an 18-3 run to lead 58- 43 at halftime. Portland’s hustling defense shut down the Mavs, who only scored three points on their last 12 posses sions of the half and the Trail Blaz ers forced them into four turnovers. An alley oop-pass from Cliff Rob inson to Clyde Drexler gave Port land a 10-point lead and they stretched it to 16 on a basket by Wayne Cooper as the sellout crowd of 17,007 began to boo. Dallas hit only one of eight field goal shots and one of six free throws in the final 6:47. Roy Tarpley went the first half without a point, missing all eight shots he tried. Portland had 15 baskets off lay ups, dunks and tip-ins in the first half. Williams was forced to the dress ing room with 10.1 seconds left in the first period when he caught an elbow in the face from Dallas’James Donaldson.

No counting expansion teams here, they have an excuse. But they are also among the top of their leagues in attendance. That’s faith. Any loyal fan can’t help but be jealous of Los Angeles Lakers or San Francisco 49er fans. Their consistent success and happiness can be almost sickening at times. And as for the Dallas Cowboys, well, the ball is in your hands for this one. There is no room but for improvement here. Fans who remember the glory days of America’s team should stop blaming the Cowboys’ problems on Jimmy Johnson’s haircut. When you get right down to it, teams would be nothing without their fans, and fans would be nothing without their teams. It’s not whether your favorite team wins or loses, but how they play the game. Even if they don’t play it very well, your time and patience as a loyal fan will eventually pay off the night they win the long-awaited championship. , Then, it will be your turn to gloat.
