AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) — Terry Mills’ 3-pointer with 0.3 seconds left gave the Detroit Pistons a 102-100 vic tory over the Houston Rockets on Sunday night. The shot came after Hakeem Olajuwon scored on a baseline jumper with 3.5 seconds left to put Flouston ahead. Mills took the inbounds pass from Grant Hill, turned and swished a 25-footer from Well beyond the top of the key. The loss was Houston’s sec ond in a row after a seven- game winning streak. Allan Houston led all scor ers with 35 points, while Mills had 19, including 13 in the fourth, and Lindsay Hunter added 16 points and a career- high 10 rebounds. Clyde Drexler led the Rock ets with 22 points and Olaju won added 19. The Pistons led 54-50 at the half and expanded the margin to 66-60 with 4:45 left in the third quarter. But the Rockets scored the next six points and eventually led 74-73 with 12 minutes to go in the game! Detroit got an early burst in the fourth when Hunter, who was 0-for-7 from 3-point range in the first three quarters, hit three straight treys. The last put the Pistons ahead 88-82 with 7:54 to go, but Houston scored the next seven points to take a one-point lead. Detroit led 99-98 with one minute to play. Kenny Smith missed a 3-pointer for Hous ton, but Mario Erie beat Hunter to the long rebound. With 37 seconds left, Mark West fouled Olajuwon, who missed both free throws. Georgandis Couples ends jinx, wins Skins □ The top golfer had finished second in three previous evenli PALM DESERT, Calif (AP) — Fred Couples fin; made the winning putt, e ing his string of second-pL finishes in the Skins Game. It took a while. Couples, who had finishe second in three previous at pearanccs, didn’t win a sic gle hole in the 1995 Skin; Game until rolling in a foot birdie putt on the f! playoff hole Sunday. That putt gave $270,000 — the'richest hole the Continued from Page 10 of players leaving the locker room to board the team bus, I took the initiative and went up to Coach Stallings. I had spoken to him exactly once before, over a year ago on the phone while doing research for another special section. That time, I had committed a slight faux pas when the inter view was reaching its end. After I finished my line of questioning about the 1967 sea son, Stallings asked how the season was going for A&M. “You guys are having a heck of a sea son down there(A&M was 6-0 at the time),” Stallings said. “Thanks,” 1 replied, “Ya’ll aren’t doing too shabby yourselves.” In case you don’t recall, Al abama was 8-0 at the time and ranked No.4. There was a no ticeable pause in our conserva tion, then a “Uh, yeah,” from Stallings. Then, he hung up. I could not have felt more foolish, and have never been able to watch an Alabama game since then without cursing my self for doing so damn stupid. With the opportunity in front of me Saturday, I knew I had to act. I approached Coach Stallings and introduced myself. I told him about how 1 talked to him last year, and before I had a chance to explain myself, he in terrupted and told me a friend of his at A&M had sent the section to him and he was very im pressed. I was again at a loss for words, but this time managed to not say anything smart. Instead I mumbled a thank you and wandered away — suddenly high on life. Last week’s amazing events once again reminded me of something that is easy to lose sight of in the crazy world of sports. It’s not the super physi cal attributes, it’s not the big salaries, it’s the people that make the game and make sports a very special place.
