The Battalion
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Once again, the San
^tpnio Spurs relied on a one-two punch to knock
° u t the opposition. Only this time, the players
weren’t. David Robinson and Tim Duncan.
Avet^ Johnson continued his sizzling playoff
run wuh a career-high 30 points, and Chuck
Person’s 3-point shooting helped ignite a decisive
second-haU surge as the Spurs defeated Phoenix
99-80 Wednesday night to win their opening-
round series 3-\.
lohnson and Person came through on a night
when San Antonio stars Robinson and Duncan strug
gled early against double-teams.
“We couldn t get anything going until Avery
and Chuck stepped up, saj^ Robinson, who fin
ished with 15 points and 21
rebounds but shot only 3-of_t2
from the field.
Duncan, the NBA’s rookie oi
the year, had only 11 points and
five rebounds for the Spurs, who
pulled away from a 50-50 tie late
in the third quarter.
But Johnson, who averaged 20
points in the series after scoring
only 10 per game in the regular
season, scored nine during a 29-6
surge that put the Spurs up 79-56 with 6:53 left.
“They are a dangerous team, and I didn’t want to
go back to Phoenix, even if they do have a nice
restaurant connected to the hotel,” Johnson said.
Person, who averaged only 6.7 points during the
regular season, hit three 3-pointers during the key
run and finished with 18 points. Overall, he was 6-of-
8 from 3-point range.
“Obviously, I’ve slowed down a lot because my
back has been a problem,” said Person, referring to
back surgery he had 18 months ago. “But coach has
been limiting my minutes, and I was fresh tonight.”
The Spurs led by only seven points entering the
Robinson
fourth quarter, but they opened the final period with
a 17-1 run to break the game open.
“We had a good season, but we should have
been more
competitive in
this series,” said
Suns guard
Jason Kidd, who
finished with 12
points.
With the
Suns trailing 81-
57 with 5:06
remaining, Phoenix guard Steve Nash committed a
hard foul on Johnson, who then walked up to Nash
and bumped chests. Players from both teams then
started pushing and shoving each other before they
were separated.
Johnson, Duncan and Antonio McDyess of the
Suns each got technical fouls.
Kevin Johnson led the Suns with 18 points. Nash,
who started in place of injured Rex Chapman, fin
ished with 13 points on 4-of-13 shooting.
“Going into the season, if you would have told me
that we would be the fourth seed for the playoffs, I
would have been very pleased,” Suns coach Danny
Ainge said. “Unfortunately, we didn’t play well
against the Spurs.”
San Antonio will play the winner of the Utah-
Houston series in the second round.
Kevin Johnson hit a 3-pointer with 29 seconds
left in the third period, but Robinson then scored
inside for the Spurs and Person opened the fourth
quarter with a 3-pointer as the Spurs took a 65-55
lead with 11:40 left.
Person hit a 3-pointer from the corner with 3:23
left in the third period and Johnson then hit consec
utive baskets before Person sank another 3 to put
the Spurs ahead 60-52 with 37 seconds remaining in
the quarter.
Van Gundy announces Ewing will be held out
in first-round series games against Miami Heat
NEW YORK (AP) — Patrick
Ewing will not, repeat, will not be
playing for the New York Knicks as
they face elimination by the
Miami Heat.
Not in Game 4 and not in Game
5, according to the Knicks.
“Again, I don’t know how much
I can say this:
He’s not play
ing in this
series. I'm not
sure why no
one will accept
that answer,”
coach Jeff Van
Gundy said
Wednesday
after the Knicks
went through
what might have been their final
practice of the season on the eve of
Thursday night’s Game 4.
Ewing, who severely fractured
his right wrist in late December,
has been practicing with the team
but has not been given clearance
to play by the team’s medical staff.
The Knicks have been insisting
for almost two weeks that Ewing
will not be available for the first
round, yet fans have kept their
hopes up, perhaps wishing for a
Van Gundy
recreated Willis Reed moment.
Reed provided the franchise
with perhaps its most memorable
moment by hobbling out of the
tunnel for the start of Game 7 of
the 1970 NBA Finals and scoring
the first two baskets, spurring the
Knicks to the championship.
Before this first-round series
began, even Miami coach Pat Riley
said he expected Ewing to play. He
acknowledged Wednesday that a
return by Ewing is “unlikely, but
you’ve got to be ready for it.”
Ewing offered no comment
Wednesday other than to say:
“Ask Dr. Scott.”
That would be team physician
Dr. Norman Scott, who has said
he won’t clear Ewing to play until
he has regained nearly 100 per
cent of his strength and range of
motion, making it look to some
like the Knicks are more interest
ed in protecting their $68 million
investment than winning.
“The doctors have the best
interests of the player at heart, so I
don’t know about any conspiracy
to save money,” Van Gundy said.
“We don’t want him to fall on
that wrist and re-injure it so that he
couldn’t play next year,” forward
Buck Williams said. “Once he can
handle a fall, I’m sure he’ll play.”
As far as Van Gundy is con
cerned, what the Knicks really need
is someone coming out of the tun
nel who can defend Voshon Lenard.
The Miami shooting guard
scored 25 and 28 points in
Games 2 and 3, respectively,
negating New York’s ability to
limit the production of Alonzo
Mourning and Tim Hardaway.
“There’s only one two-guard
that’s ever hurt us in back-to-back
games as much as Voshon Lenard
did, and that’s Michael Jordan,”
Van Gundy said. “Reggie Miller?
Never two games in a row. But this
guy, two games in a row he’s
looked us square in the eye and
said, TT1 take any one of you any
time I want,’ and he has.”
Van Gundy also needs his entire
team to come out of the tunnel
and play tough defense and intelli
gent offense, unlike Game 3 when
they blew numerous opportunities
down the stretch to reduce their
deficit below four points.
The Knicks’ No. 1 offensive
option, Allan Houston, scored 18
points in the first quarter, but shot
0-for-6 in a scoreless fourth.

Shuon Madden and Carlos Tori
also made the all-league singles
list, as Madden put up a 16-3 mark
on the season and Tori led the team
with a 24-9 overall record. Madden
and Tori were also named to the
team as doubles partners by rack
ing up a 10-6 overall record.
Lisa Dingwall and Vanessa
