Duncan, Hardaway named
reserves for USA basketball
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.
(AP) — Tim Duncan, the San
Antonio Spurs’ rookie center, and
Miami’s Tim Hardaway were
added to the U.S. basketball team
on Wednesday, completing the
12-member unit that will repre
sent the United States at the
World Championship in Greece
this summer.
The first 10 members of the
team were announced Oct. 30.
They are Vin Baker and Gary
Payton of the Seattle SuperSonics;
Terrell Brandon of the Milwaukee
Bucks; Kevin Garnett and Tom
Gugliotta of the Minnesota
Timberwolves; Grant Hill of the
Detroit Pistons; Allan Houston of
the New York Knicks; Christian
Laettner of the Atlanta Hawks;
Glen Rice of the Charlotte
Hornets; and Chris Webber of the
Washington Wizards.
Hill and Payton were on the
1996 U.S. “Dream Team’’ and
Laettner played on the 1992 team
as the only collegiate member.
Houston Rockets coach Rudy
Tomjanovich is the head coach
while Del Harris of the Los
Angeles Lakers, George
Washington University coach
Mike Jarvis and University of
Illinois coach Lon Kruger are
assistant coaches.
The games will be held July 29-
Aug. 9 at Athens, Greece.
Tomjanovich called Duncan, a
7-foot center, “one of the best
players in the league right now,”
and characterized Hardaway, a 6-
foot guard, as “a tough-minded
player and a great leader.”
Duncan ranked in the NBA’s
top 20 leaders in five statistical
categories.
His 21.1 point average was
13th and 11.9 rebounds a game
ranked third.
Hardaway averaged 18.9
points and 8.3 assists during the
season. He is a five-time NBA All-
Star selection.
The 1998 team is the fourth to
consist of NBA stars. The 1992
Olympic team, the original
“Dream Team,” won the gold
medal with 11 NBA players and
one college star, a feat duplicat
ed by the 1996 Olympic team,
which had 12 NBA players on
the roster.
The 1994 USA World
Championship team also featured
12 NBA players.
Tough pairings highlight NBA playoffs
(AP) — The team with the best record in the NBA
opens the playoffs Thursday night, and it’s not the
champion Chicago Bulls.
Utah quietly beat out the Bulls for the best regu
lar-season record, meaning the Jazz will have the
homecourt advantage for every playoff series,
including the opener against the Houston Rockets.
Three other series also start Thursday:
Cleveland at Indiana, Atlanta at Charlotte and San
Antonio at Phoenix.
On Friday, it’s New Jersey at Chicago, New York at
Miami, Minnesota at Seattle and Portland at the Los
Angeles Lakers.
All series in the first round are best-of-5.
Rockets vs. Jazz
This will be the fourth time in the last five seasons
the Rockets and Jazz have gone
against each other in the playoffs,
and it could be the last hurrah for
Houston. Clyde Drexsler will be
coaching the University of
Houston next year. Hakeem
Olajuwon, who missed 35 games
because of injuries, is playing on
aching knees and Charles Barkley
is trying to play through a hernia.
The Rockets struggled through
a tough season, finishing at .500,
21 games behind Utah in the
Midwest Division.
“It’s a new season,” Houston coach Rudy
Tomjanovich said. “We can still have a successful year.”
The Rockets get no sympathy from the Jazz.
“They were the champions just a couple of sea
sons ago, and that (aura) isn’t something that you
Drexler
lose,” Utah guard Jeff Hornacek said.
Hawks vs. Hornets
Atlanta swept the four games this season by an
average of nearly 17 points, but Hawks coach Lenny
Wilkens says that doesn’t matter much.
“You make everyone aware that nothing should
be taken for granted, and there are lots of examples
we can point to and that you have to make your
players aware of,” Wilkens said. “We’re going to go
in confident.”
Charlotte coach Dave Cowens hopes the Hornets
can turn things around.
“We’re going to have to make changes. We’re
going to have to make adjustments,” Cowens said.
“They’re not going to have to do anything.”
Spurs vs. Suns
Phoenix and San Antonio had identical 56-26
records, using different routes to get there. The
Suns won 12 of their last 13
games while the Spurs won
their last three after drop
ping three of four.
Both teams enjoyed giant
turnarounds. With David
Robinson injured, the Spurs
missed the playoffs a year ago but won the draft lot
tery and came away with Tim Duncan, who was NBA
Rookie of the Month six straight times and led the
league with 57 double-doubles.
The Suns recovered from an 0-13 start to squeeze
into the playoffs last season at 40-42 and made a 16-
game improvement on that this season. Phoenix
earned the homecourt advantage by winning three of
the four regular-season meetings.

“Our biggest concern is us. If
we can play with the kind of focus
and concentration that we’ve had
most of the season, then I think we
will be able to do what we hope we
can do,” Cass said.
Brent Horan,who was named to
the Academic All-Big 12 First Team
on Tuesday, said the tournament
is often full of surprises.
“Sometimes the tournament
mimics what happened in the reg
ular season, but sometimes teams
who didn’t have great regular sea
sons get pumped up for the tour
nament and come in and play real
ly well,” Horan said.
Horan said the Aggies are anxious
for a chance to play UT, who beat
A&M in Austin during the season.
“We don’t want to look past
any team,” he said, “ but we are
looking forward to getting to the
finals to play Texas, and I don’t
think we will be happy if we don’t
win the tournament.”
