The Rockets, seeking their third straight NBA champi onship, will meet the winner of the Seattle-Sacramento series in the second round. The Lakers cut Houston’s lead to 91-86 on a jumper by Anthony Peeler with 4:28 left, but Olaju won then made a baseline jumper and a hook shot to put the Rockets up 95-86 with 57 seconds remaining. The Lakers pulled to 98-94 on a 3-pointer by Cedric Ceballos with 16 seconds left, but Sam Cassell made two free throws for Houston and Clyde Drexler capped the win with a steal and layup with six seconds remaining. Kenny Smith scored 17 points for Houston on 6-for-6 shooting from the field, including 4-for-4 on 3-pointers. Robert Horry also had 17 points for the Rockets, and Chucky Brown added 16. Ceballos led the Lakers with 25 points and 12 rebounds, while Elden Campbell and Nick Van Exel each had 15 points. The Rockets shut down Magic John son for the second straight game, holding him to eight points on 2- for-8 shooting and five assists. Johnson, who played 32 regu lar-season games after coming out of retirement, was 0-for-3 in the second half and never was able to ignite the Lakers. He scored only seven points in Tues day’s 104-98 loss to the Rockets. The Lakers, who trailed by seven points going into the fourth quarter, went scoreless for more than four minutes dur ing one stretch in the final peri od. But the Rockets didn’t take full advantage, scoring only six points during that time. The Rockets, who hit 12 of their first 13 shots in Tuesday’s victory, started out hot again, hitting nine of their first 10. Smith and Brown led the way with 10 points each. Roenick, Winder lead Blackhawks Chicago took a 1-0 lead over the Colorado Avalanche in the first round of their series. DENVER (AP) — Jeremy Roenick scored a power-play goal at 6:29 of overtime, lifting the Chicago Blackhawks over the Colorado Avalanche 3-2 Thurs day night in the opening game of an NHL Western Conference semifinal playoff series. Game 2 is scheduled here Sat urday night. Colorado’s Chris Simon went off at 4:39 of overtime for high- sticking, and Chicago converted its second power-play goal of the game. Colorado’s Uwe Krupp fell and lost control of the puck behind the net. The Blackhawks set up a play, and Tony Amonte sent a pass to Roenick inside the left cir cle. His 15-foot shot beat Patrick Roy, ending Roy’s 12-game win ning streak in overtime playoff games. Chicago managed to kill off the remaining 1:38 of Chris Che- lios’ penalty to start the overtime. The Blackhawks now have killed all 27 opposition power plays in the playoffs. Chicago’s Enrico Ciccone had the only goal in a tight-checking first period that saw Colorado manage just two shots on goal compared to the Blackhawks’ 10. The two shots — one of which was Claude Lemieux’s carom off the right goalpost — marked the fewest in a period by the Avalanche all season. Roy went sprawling to stop shots by Bob Probert and Brent Sutter and barely made it back on his skates when Ciccone sent a 20-foot wrist shot past the screened goalie at 2:02. It was Ci- ccone’s first career playoff goal and point. Colorado had back-to-back power-play opportunities in the period, but could not get a shot on either chance. After killing a penalty early in the second period, Colorado stepped up its offensive pressure and struck twice in a span of 75 seconds. Lemieux got his third goal of the playoffs at 3:10, taking a pass from Valeri Kamensky to the right of the goal and, while falling backward, sending the puck between Ed Belfour’s legs. Joe Sakic, the leading scorer in the playoffs, gave Colorado a 2- 1 lead with his eighth goal. Sakic chased down the puck behind the net, skated outside with Bernie Nicholls shadowing him and sent a 25-foot backhander into the net. Sakic has recorded at least one point in all seven playoff games. Recovering from their lethar gic first period, the Avalanche had 15 shots in the second period compared to Chicago’s eight. The Blackhawks’ Murray Craven had the lone goal of the third period, a power play at 1:58. Nicholls sent a pass across the goalmouth to Craven, sta tioned just outside the right crease. Big Gheorghe makes biggest improvement LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — Gheorghe Muresan, the tallest player in the NBA at 7-foot-7, has a new label: Most improved player. The Washington Bullets’ cen ter, who this season recorded ca reer-high numbers in minutes, points, rebounds, assists, blocks and field goal percentage, on Thursday became the fourth Bullet in seven years to be win the league’s most improved play er award. Playing in his third NBA sea son, the 7-foot-7 Muresan start ed the Bullets’ first 76 games be fore a knee injury ended his sea son. He averaged 14.5 points and 9.5 rebounds per game and led the NBA with a .584 shoot ing percentage. When he drafted Muresan three years ago, John Nash was n’t sure whether the Romanian would be good enough to make it to the NBA. He certainly didn’t expect Muresan to be this good this early. Nash was wrong on both accounts. “Each night I try hard. I have more good nights than bad,” said Muresan, whose improvement was a big reason why the Bullets won 18 more games this season than last. “Lots of people tell me I can’t play in NBA, but I tried to work hard to show I can.” Even his English has im proved. On the night Nash made Muresan the 30th overall pick in the 1993 NBA draft, Muresan quickly learned his first four words of English. With the cam eras rolling, he said, “I love this game.” Nash, who resigned as gener al manager Tuesday, figured he had nothing to lose by using a second-round pick on a player who could touch the rim without leaving his feet. “I wasn’t sure when we draft ed him that he would be in a Bullets uniform at this time. I thought he’d stay in Europe for at least three seasons,” Nash said last month. ‘‘He’s made progress well beyond what I What are 1 YOU gonna do this summer!

He shot better than 50 percent in 58 of 76 games and finished eighth in the league in blocks. “When he raises his arms up, he’s 12 feet tall. It’s intimidat ing,” Washington forward Juwan Howard said. “I’m glad he’s on my team.” Nash said the best is yet to come for Muresan. “Gheorghe is going to contin ue to get better,” Nash said. “Right now he’s among the top 10 centers in the league, and I think he’s got a chance to be in the top six. He could turn out to be one of the dominant players in this league.” Muresan joins a string of Bul lets to claim the award this decade. Harvey Grant got it in 1989-90; Pervis Ellison took the trophy home in 1991-92 and Don MacLean won it in 1993-94. early feview order c perce leaving 'on ove Lia Amy Pi E Batta Andrew ‘otal dei ice of T lrt hgate , eatab ‘hlizat Bylins a Haiso 5 board.
