HOUSTON (AP) — Last time, it was Anfernee Hard away. This time, it was Shaquille O’Neal. Orlando’s 1-2 punch is just too much for Houston. In a rematch of a Christmas Day game won on Hardaway’s last-second jumper, the Magic beat the Rockets 97-96 Sunday when O’Neal made a layup with 4.7 seconds left, then blocked Houston’s final shot. “We have a lot of weapons on this team, and whoever is hot needs to take it over and we need to go to them,” said O’Neal, who finished with 29 points and 16 rebounds. Hardaway had the hot hand, blunting a Houston rally that had pushed the Rockets to as much as an eight-point advan tage midway through the final period. He scored 13 of his 28 points in the final quarter of CarePlus Roc, The Good Doc PHARMACY 693-2957 MEDICAL CENTER 696-0683 "CLASSIC CASE OF ORIENTATION DIS ORIENTATION" CarePlus Medical Center can take the confusion out of orientation for new Aggies.

CarePlus 2411-B Texas Ave. S. & Southwest Parkway Open all week in College Station AP Photo Houston Rocket Hakeem Olajuwon and Orlando Magic Shaquille O'Neal battled in last year's Finals and again on Sunday afternoon. the matchup of NBA finalists. “The touch came back in the fourth quarter,” Hardaway said. “It came at a great time.” Hardaway scored eight of the Magic’s last 14 points, and O’Neal accounted for the other six. The Magic ended their longest road trip of the season — five games over nine days — with a 2-3 mark. “One of the toughest assign ments in the NBA is the last game of a long road trip,” said Magic coach Brian Hill, whose team is 20-0 at home but 9-10 on the road. “A lot of guys just mail it in. It was a good win against a quality team and we needed this one. “If we want to establish our selves as a force in this league we have to get some wins on the road against teams like this.” O’Neal’s winning layup came after he snared a rebound fol lowing a missed shot by Dennis Scott. Then he blocked Sam Cassell’s layup attempt at the buzzer to seal the victory. Houston coach Rudy Tom- janovich thought Cassell was fouled on the play. “I’m left with an empty, helpless feeling when you bat tle in a tough game, and you execute something, you gain the advantage, you are fouled and you can’t get that call,” Tomjanovich said. “I can’t com ment on anything, but I can state facts and the fact was that he was fouled.” Cassell took the inbounds pass after a Houston timeout and appeared to be fouled by Hardaway, but there was no call, and O’Neal diverted Cas sell’s desperation shot at the buzzer to down the team that swept the Magic in the NBA Fi nals last year. “This is a tough one to lose,” said Clyde Drexler, who had 20 for Houston. “We’ve lost a cou ple down the stretch and it makes you think that you are not doing something right.” McGhee Continued from Page? Aggies, McGhee managed just eight points on 4-of-ll shooting, including a miserable 0-of-3 from beyond the three-point arc. McGhee’s shooting woes were typical of the Owls Sat urday. For the game, Rice shot just .396 from the field — including an atrocious 3-of 19 from the field. The Owls were led by Shaun Igo and Eric Singletary, who each scored 10 points. ,1.102, No ures em The win Iccess tc was A&M’s Quesada first in the SWC this; season, and i mproved the team’s conference record to 1- 3, while moving the Aggies to 9- 7 for the season. Rice fell to 2-2 in the SWC and 9-6 over all for the year. The Aggie defense set the tone early, by holding Rice to just 19 points in the first half, which ended with A&M leading j 33-19. The first-half defensive effort was the best by the Aggies since March 3, 1993, when the Aggies held Rice to just 16 points in a half. The impressive defensive ef fort garnered much applause from the G. Rollie White Coli seum crowd of 3,421, and forced the Owls to try and play catch up throughout the second half. The Aggies will return to ac tion on Wednesday when they travel to Hofheinz Pavilion in Houston to take on the Univer sity of Houston Cougars. The Cougars were tied for first in the conference until Sat urday night when they traveled to Lubbock and were blown out by the red-hot, 14-1 Texas Tech Red Raiders. |y Lisa Johns [he Bahai ic A propose inance re si ;ate and sou ag Texas AS The propc The pi REC SPORTS Intramurals • Fitness • Intramurals More Than lust Fun and Games Metba Registration ) Fun & Fitness At The Red /• Sport Open Close Fee/Team • Preseason Basketball now Jan. 23 $10 •Basketball now Jan. 23 $30 •Team Bowling now Jan. 23 * •Three-Point Shot now Jan. 23 Free •Squash Singles now Jan.30 Free •Wallyball now Jan. 30 $15 •Preseason Slow Pitch Softball Jan. 29 Feb. 6 $10 •Slow Pitch Softball Jan. 29 Feb. 6 $30 •Racquetball Feb. 5 Feb.13 Free •Slam Dunk Feb. 5 Feb. 13 Free •Valentine's Day Run Feb. 5 Feb.13 Free •Handball Feb. 5 Feb.13 Free *cost of Team's first 4 games & shoes Only $50 for ■ ■■• • . ■■ B • Aerobic Don't be caught hiding under a T-shirt at the beach this spring break or summer.
