CHICAGO (AP) — This was not the expiration date for the Chicago Bulls. Their dynasty has survived to see another series. The Bulls made it back to the NBA Finals on Sunday night and kept alive their quest for a sixth championship by outlasting the In diana Pacers 88-83 in a riveting Game 7 of the Eastern Con ference finals. In a tight, back-and- forth game that culminat ed two weeks of struggle and drama, the Bulls used their ability to excel in pres sure situations to overcome the Pacers’ determination and grit. It all came down to the final five minutes, and Michael Jordan and his teammates displayed intensity and control as they came up with all the clutch plays. The Bulls scored nine of the game’s final 13 points and watched Jordan the Pacers fail to find ways to match them as they moved on to a date with the Utah Jazz beginning Wednesday night. Chicago will be playing for its sixth championship this decade, and perhaps to somehow keep their dynasty intact — quite an accom plishment for a team that was greet ed on its home court Sunday by a mood of desperation and finality. In this city where fans have be come spoiled by the routineness of titles and the greatness of Jordan, there was a strange feeling sur rounding this game. Could this really be the end of the run, the “Last Dance” as coach Phil Jackson keeps calling it? It might have been, if not for the way Chicago played at the end.

The Battalion Classified Advertising DENVER (AP) — Dante Bichette hit a two-out, two-run homer in the ninth, lifting the Colorado Rockies over the Houston Astros 7-5 Sunday. Bichette’s blast off Doug Henry (3-2) helped the Rockies maintain their mastery in Denver over the Astros, who are 6-21 here. Chuck McElroy (1-1) pitched a perfect eighth and ninth to earn j the win. Pinch-hitter Jason Bates led off the ninth with sharp single to cen- ! ter. Pinch-runner Curtis Goodwin stole second, thanks to catcher Brad Ausmus’ high throw, and was sacrificed to third by Neifi Perez. Ellis Burks popped out, but Bichette, who had failed in clutch hitting situations recently and was 0-for-3 with the bases loaded in the past three games, homered into the bullpen in right-center. Moises Alou homered twice and drove in four runs for the Astros. Vinny Castilla had a two-run homer and three RBI for Colorado. The Rockies struck for four runs in the first off Jose Lima.
