Mavericks, Rockets struggle in the North we
Dallas loses 22nd consecutive road
game to playoff-bound Portland
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Ter
ry Porter scored 19 points, nine of
them during a 16-6 run in the third
quarter, as the Portland Trail Blaz
ers clinched a playoff berth and
handed the Dallas Mavericks their
14th consecutive defeat and 22nd
straight road loss, 109-83 Tuesday
night.
The Trail Blazers' reserves
outscored the Mavericks' bench
players 50-23 while Portland's
leading scorer, Clyde Drexler, fin
ished with just 10 points, 15 under
his average, on 5-for-14 shooting.
Doug Smith scored 15 points
and Rolando Blackman 14 for Dal
las, now 5-29 on the road this sea
son and winless away from home
since Dec. 23.
Leading 48-32 at halftime,
Portland extended the margin to
55-36 before Blackman scored five
points during a 9-2 run that closed
the Mavericks to 57-45 with 6:24
left in the third quarter.
Portland responded with the
16-6 spurt for a 73-51 advantage
with 2:09 remaining in the period.
The Blazers finished the quar
ter with Danny Ainge and Mark
Bryant hitting from the outside,
giving the Trail Blazers their
largest lead, 79-55.
Leading 26-19 at the end of the
first quarter, Portland built its lead
to 33-21 by starting the second
quarter with a 7-2 run.
Portland's reserves were in
strumental in building the lead as
backup guard Robert Pack, who
finished with 16 points, scored
seven points in the second period.
"We came out and did what
we had to do — both starters and
the bench — especially in the third
and fourth quarters/' Portland
coach Rick Adelman said.
Blazers center Kevin Duck
worth was 6-for-9 from the field
and finished with 14 points and
eight rebounds.
''Duckworth rebounded very
well, ran the floor and played a
good all-around game," Adelman
said. "When we run the floor and
pass the ball, everybody has an
opportunity to score."
Playing without Derek Harper,
Fat Lever and Terry Davis, who
sat out with lower back spasms,
the Mavericks couldn't match
Portland's offensive barrage.
"Our cold shooting killed us,"
Mavericks head coach Richie Adu-
bato said. "Their defense is good.
You have to shoot it quick against
them and you have to move the
ball."
Portland's pressure was too
much, especially in the second
half. The Blazers had 13 steals,
three from Ainge, and had 22 sec
ond-chance points.,
"We have to rely on perimeter
shooting and they really exploit us
on that," Adubato said. "Pack,
Ainge and Bryant combined for 16
of 23. That meant that even when
we did get to within 12 points,
they got it back to a comfortable
margin in a hurry."
Pack was 7-for-9 from the field.
"We kept the ball moving
well," the rookie guard said. "We
wanted to play aggresively and
not let Dallas come out in the sec
ond half and get into the game."
Hakeem-less Houston falls to Seati jwedn.
SEATTLE (AP) - Derrick
McKey scored 23 points and
Shawn Kemp led a 21-9 third-
quarter spurt with seven points
Tuesday night as the Seattle Su-

The Rockets played without

the team on Monday. Though
cleared,to play by team doctors
last Friday, Olajuwon has re

Ricky Pierce scored 20 points
for the Sonics, while Kemp had

Aggie bats ignite against Bearkats
Continued from Page 7
with his first homer of the year to
give the Aggies a 1-0 lead.
A&M added two more runs in
the second on Harris's triple that
scored Eric Gonzalez and a passed
ball that scored Harris.
In the fourth inning, Brian
Thomas walked, stole second base
and scored on Harris's double to
give the Aggies a 4-0 lead.
A&M blew the game open in
the bottom of the fifith inning. Jay
Estes started off with a single, and
Conrad Colby walked to put men
on first and second. After a sacri
fice, a passed ball allowed Estes to
score. Keller then singled to score
Colby and give Keller two RBIs on
the night.
Third baseman Paul Barber
singled, and Gonzalez followed
that with a ground rule double to
score Keller. A Bearkat error
scored Gonzalez and Barker and
gave the Aggies a 9-0 lead.
The homer by Harris capped
off the Aggie scoring and gave
A&M a 12-0 victory.
While the Aggie bats ripped
twelve hits, the A&M pitching
staff limited the Bearkats to four.
Freshman pitcher Chris
Clemons, whose recored im
proved to 4-1, picked up the win
after going five innings, giving up
three hits and striking out four.
Jay Hogue, Jason Hutchins and
Brian Barker finished up the
shutout for the Aggies. The trio
combined to strike out five and
give up one hit.
Johnson praised his pitchers'
performances.
"Our guys came in and be
lieved they could throw the pitch
es," he said. "I think all our guys
pitched pretty well."
The win improved the Aggies
record to 21-10, while the Bearkats
fell to 12-19.
A&M faces Texas Christian
University this weekend in Fort
Worth in a three-game Southwest
Conference series.

undermined the authority of the
officials. In the good oT days if
they had a dispute about a play,
the officials gathered around and
made a decision. But lately, they
send it to the booth to see who
was right.
And the replay booth wasn't
always right, either.
Fans could watch a play time
after time on television and clear
ly see what would happen. Color
commentators would say,
"There's no doubt they're going
to reverse that call." And about
the same time, the head referee
would announce, "After further
review, the play stands."
There were a number of cases
like that, and if you're a real foot
ball fan, you would see that most
of the time the plays went against
the Dallas Cowboys.
So instant replay is gone and
everyone should rejoice. Fans
and their less-concerned loved
ones should be happy. Sunday
afternoons won't be spent on the
couch any more. Instead of lay
ing around from noon to 6 p.m.,
football fans probably will be
finding their way off the couch by
around 5:30 p.m. because of this
rule change.
And the people who aren't
watching the game should bene
fit from this decision. With that
extra half hour, that studying that
needed to get done or that house
that needed to be cleaned will ac
tually get done.
And why? Because NFL own
ers finally woke up.
Maybe there is an occasional
play that the replay might have
been able to help. But in it's six-
year existence, the replay took
credibility from the officials and
left the key decisions in the hands
of someone not even on the field.
So, thanks to 17 of the 28 NFL
owners, we don't have to worry
about instant replay any more.
Thank you fellas.
