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.

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.

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.

Shaq works Magic on Indiana
□ O'Neal scores 35, grabs 13 boards
in Orlando's 108-106 victory.
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.
Game Six will begin Friday night at 8 p.m.
