? age 6 • The Battalion Sports Thursday • June 1, 199i Cassell works playoff magic again Barone to coach All-Stars □ The back-up guard's 50 points keyed Hous ton's Game 5 win. HOUSTON (AP) — Houston Sockets fans finally have come iround to agree with coach Rudy Pomjanovich’s point about the >alue of Sam Cassell. It hasn’t always been the :ase. Fans booed Tomjanovich’s lecision in 1993 to make the Florida State guard their first •ound pick. “When we talked to him in >ur interview before the draft, rou could tell the toughness, the dayground mentality,’’ Tom- anovich said Wednesday. Sometimes, that’s not always rood. But with him it’s doing everything and anything it takes o win, and having no fear.” Cassell had an outstanding rookie season, coming up big in several playoff games last year. Although this season has been up and down for Cassell, he has repeated his playoff heroics, es pecially in Game 5 Tuesday night. Cassell scored 22 of his 30 points in the second half in a 111-90 victory that gave the Rockets a 3-2 lead in the West ern Conference finals. “Another day at the park,” Cassell said. “I’m just out there doing my job and having fun. It’s cool.” Teammates praised Cassell’s performance. “Sam’s so tough. He has the heart of a lion,” forward Mario Elie said. “I love him. With Sam you get one of two things, he’s up or down, but mostly he’ll get up. “He’s going down with David Robinson in the lane and laying it up with the big guys. We need The Battalion more of that.” Cassell came up biggest in the Rockets’ decisive third quarter 11-2 charge that put them in command. The scored was 71-71 when Cassell drove the lane and broke the tie when Robinson received a goaltending call, making it 73- 71. Cassell then sank two free throws for a 75-71 lead after be ing fouled by Dennis Rodman. Cassell also was there to make it 82-73, completing the 11-2 run with a driving layup. Cassell set a rookie record with 33 3-point baskets and 88 3-point attempts. He averaged 6.7 points. This season, he averaged 9.5 points and 4.9 assists during the regular season. Cassell has played his best when the Rockets have needed it the most. He’s fearless when shooting the big shots.

Wright Continued from Page 2 No, it is the sport of bas ketball that has the most colorful and appropriate player nicknames of any American sport. Nicknames like Hakeem “The Dream” Olajuwon, “Magic” Johnson, Robert “The Chief” Parrish and last and least, Dennis “The Worm” Rodman seem to capture the essence of the player and their game. Athletes like Anfernee “Penny” Hardaway, Shawn “The Rainman” Kemp, Julius “Dr. J.” Erving and one of my personal favorites “Pooh” Richardson have ani mated styles of play that catch the fans’ attention. Nicknames give players of any sport the larger-than- life image that fans love. Just ask Scott “Innocent” Lysander or Kevin “Large- Mouth” Bass. ond in the third inning, starting pitcher Greg Swindell faked a bunt and blooped a base hit to center, scoring Chris Donnels. Magadan then doubled in Tony Eusebio and Swindell, who bel ly-flopped into home for a 6-1 lead. Jerry Browne and Alex Arias had RBI singles and Swindell walked Gary Sheffield with the bases loaded to make it 6-4. James Dougherty (1-1) relieved and struck out Andre Dawson to end the rally. Once again, it was the As tros’ Florida contingent that carried the team’s offensive load. Bell, Magadan and Gonza lez, along with relief pitcher John Hudek are all Tampa-area products. ‘Pudge’ KO s Kansas City KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Ivan Rodriguez, whose two ninth-inning errors led to a loss the night before, hit a bases- loaded double with two out in the eighth Wednesday night that lifted the Texas Rangers over Kansas City 4-2. Texas stopped Kansas City’s six-game winning streak and prevented Kevin Appier from becoming the first seven-game winner in the majors. Appier (6-2) took a 2-1 lead into the eighth but gave up a two- out single to Jeff Frye and walked Will Clark and Mickey Tettleton. Rodriguez then lashed 3-1 pitch down the left-field line that drove in three runs. Bob Tewksbury (4-1) gave up six hits, walked three, struck out two and retired the last 13 batters in his first complete game since last Aug. 4. Wally Joyner, who who had three doubles, a home run and eight RBIs in the three-game se ries, made it 2-1 with an RBI double in the fifth.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Shaquille O’Neal not only stayed in the game, he dominated it. O’Neal’s 35 points and 13 rebounds powered Orlando within one victory of the NBA Finals as the Magic held off the Pacers 108-106 Wednes day night to take a 3-2 lead in the Eastern Con ference finals. After suffering through two foul-shortened games in Indianapolis, O’Neal took charge of this one, scoring 20 points in the first half and 13 in the third period. His big night was nearly ruined by a furious Indiana comeback from a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit. After the Pacers pulled within three points with 16 seconds left, the Magic held on down the stretch despite hitting only 4-of-12 free throws in the last 3:44. With Indiana down 106-103, Mark Jackson had a chance to tie it, but he missed a 3-pointer with about seven seconds left. To close the series in six games, Orlando will have to win Friday night at Market Square Arena, a building in which it has lost eight straight. Game 7, if necessary, would be Sunday at Orlando. Nick Anderson added 19 points for the Magic and Brian Shaw came off the bench to score 15. Anfernee Hardaway also had 15. Rik Smits, whose buzzer-beating basket made him the hero of Game 4, was the center in foul trouble this time. He fouled out with 3:44 remain ing and scored 20 points. Reggie Miller led the Pacers with 21 points. O’Neal exploded after scoring just 16 points in Game 4, including a miserable 0-for-8 perfor mance from the free throw line. O’Neal, the league’s scoring leader in the reg ular season and the runner-up in the 1995 Most Valuable Player voting, had had trouble scoring against Smits’ bulk and the Pacers’ swarming double and triple-teams during the first four games of the series.
