Rockets defeat Chicago
Houston makes 10 of 21 three pointers
HOUSTON (AP) — The de
fending world champion Hous
ton Rockets impressed former
world champion Chicago Bulls.
Hakeem OlajuWon scored
29 points and got 14 rebounds
and Kenny Smith's hot 3-point
shooting led the unbeaten
Rockets to a 106-83 victory
Thursday night over the Bulls.
That extended Houston’s
winning streak to eight games
to start the season.
"Houston has got the same
ingredients we had, and that
is strong defense. And then
they are also able to hit the
outside shots,” Bulls coach
Phil Jackson said.
“They are so strong inside
that when you double down,
you’re going to cause others to
be open. Tonight those other
players hit their shots and that
was the difference,'’ he said.
Smith complemented Olaju-
won, hitting 4 of 6 3-point bas
kets and finished with 19
points. The Rockets Sank 10 of
21 3-point baskets as a team.
Robert Horry was 3 for 3.
"They are playing well with
a lot of energy,” Scottie Pippen
said. “Olajuwon is having an
other great season. They are
looking tough.”
The numbers make the Rock
ets look tough. They have a 22-
game November winning streak
over the last two seasons. They
were 14-0 last November in a
stretch when they opened the
season with an NBA reebrd-ty-
ing 16 straight victories.
“I'm not a big guy with
stats and records,” Smith
said. “It’s just how the team
plays that matters, and de
fensively we're playing very
well. We’re still kind of catch
ing up with the offense.”
The Rockets, who own a 20-
4 record over Chicago in the
Summit, won on a night when
they committed 27 turnovers.
“Twenty-seven turnovers for
the world champs,” Jackson
said. “It was just one of those
games. It was just terrible. We
had a lot of open shots and just
couldn’t hit them, and we paid
for it in the end.”
Olajuwon dominated the
inside from start to finish,
and Smith hit two of his 3-
pointers in an early fourth-
quarter run when the Rockets
took command.
“The first couple of games I
wasn’t in the flow. I had the
flu,” Smith said. “Now I’m get
ting my shot down and Fm get
ting some good looks and
Working my way back.”
Leading 72-67 at the start
of the fourth period, the Rock
ets blew to a 91*75 edge with
6:57 to play.
"In the fourth quarter, we
made the extra pass and
played competitive basketball
on the offensive end the way
we were playing on the defen
sive end,” Smith said.
The Bulls, who haven’t won
in the Summit since a 98-86
victory on Nov. 28, 1987, were
led by Pippen’s 15 points.
Dallas’ Tarpley makes
successful comeback
DALLAS (AP) — Dallas
Mavericks coach Dick Motta
knows what a healthy and fo
cused Roy Tarpley Can mean to
a team because he coached him
a rookie before drug suspen
sions and knee injuries threat
ened to end his career.
Tarpley and Motta have been
reunited, and Tarpley paid the
first of what the Mavericks hope
is a series of dividends Thursday
night when he
led Dallas to a
96-94 decision
over the Sacra "| laiOW people Were
mento Kings. ■ . • J
• He has a wondering if Roy
way to go as far tarpley could still play"
as his condL r i r /
tioning is con- .
cerned, but Roy larpley,
forked 1 pretty Dallas Mavericks center
good,” said
Motta who, like Tarpley, is re
turning to the Mavericks follow
ing a lengthy absence. "He’s in a
heck of a lot better shape than
he was a week ago.”
Tarpley scored 16 points, in
cluding four consecutive points
during a decisive fourth-quarter
run, and pulled down nine re
bounds to spark the Mavericks to
their fourth victory in six games.
“I know people wefre wonder
ing if Roy Tarpley could still
play,” said Tarpley, who, was
dismissed by the league under
terms of its anti-drug agree
ment on Oct. 16, 1991 and had
n't played in an NBA game
since Nov. 9, 1990.
“I think I showed tonight that
I can still play this game. This
was better than I dreamed it
could be,” Tarpley said. V ?■ .
Motta played Tarpley for 25
minutes, longer than was expect
ed for the seven-footer who Was
on his way to becoming one of the
league’s premier players before
collecting his third strike under
the league’s anti-drug policy.
Tarpley’s conditioning was
set back over the summer when
he suffered from stomach prob
lems. Only in the last few days
at practice had he started show
ing glimmers of the form he
demonstrated when he last
played in the league.
“I wasn’t nervous, but I did
get tired,” said Tarpley, who was
six-for-10 from the field and hit
all four free throws. “I got a lit
tle winded, but that’s to be ex
pected in your first game back.
In the second half I got my sec
ond wind. I’ve got to get in bet
ter shape
and get
stronger.”
Tarpley
paced the
fourth-
quarter tal
ly after Dal
las had fall
en behind,
90-81 with
6:35 to play
and by as
many as 12 early in the fourth
quarter. Tarpley came off the
bench with 6:18 remaining and
scored four consecutive points
during a run of sfeven unan
swered points to pull Dallas to
within 90-88 with 4:28 left.
Jamal Mashburn, who led
Dallas with 23 points, then
went to work, scoring consecu
tive baskets to give Dallas a
94+92 edge with 2:30 left.
Mitch Richmond paced the
Kings with 21 points and Walt
Williams added 16. Williams
missed a three-pointer with
three seconds to play to end the
Kings’ hopes.
Tarpley entered the game to
an ovation from the Reunion Are
na crowd with 4:32 left in the
first quarter and got off to a fast
Start, converting a floating one-
hander in the lane nine seconds
later to push Dallas’lead 21-17.
“The crowd really pumped me
up by accepting me back,” said
Tarpley, who has had a love-
hate relationship with the Dal
las fans. “I appreciated the
warmth that they showed. I was
cool, calm and collected out
there. This was a real test for*
me. Yes, I think I’m back.”
