"I just get the garbage that nobody else wants. If the ball comes my way it means we're having problems offensively." Golden State 138, Orlando 127 Since recovering from their terrible start, the Warriors are playing well. Despite a 49-point performance by the Magic's Terry Catledge at Oakland, the Warriors, who won only four of their first 18 games, gained their sixth in a row and climbed to within a game of .500 (16-17). Terry Teagle had 36 points and rookie Sarunas Marciulionis had 33. Utah 109, Dallas 99 Karl Malone makes his off-season home in Dallas and when the Jazz play there, he usually has a big game.

This was no exception. Malone was 16 of 22 from the field and had 42 points and 12 rebounds to lead the Jazz. The third victory in a row pulled Utah to within one game of San Antonio in the Midwest Division. "I always get jacked up when I play here," Malone said. "I like living here.

But I love playing for Utah." Boston 105, Miami 96 Larry Bird returned to the Celtics' lineup, but it was Robert Parish and Kevin McHale who kept the team from losing to the Heat at Miami. In losing its 13th consecutive game, the Heat made it a battle most of the way. Rony Seikaly, who led Miami with 28 points and 18 rebounds, made two free throws with 7:43 left to give the Heat an 87-86 lead. But the Heat failed to score on its next six possessions and McHale sank three baskets in a row to lead a 9-0 surge that put Boston in control. Parish had 30 points and 13 rebounds.

Bird, who missed four games with a sprained ankle, didn't have his shooting eye. He was five of 15 from the field and had 14 points. Cleveland 98, New Jersey 96 There was only one second loft at Richfield, Ohio, when John (Hot Rod) Williams stepped to the line with the score 96-96. Williams, who had been fouled by the Nets' Sam Bowie while shooting a 12-foot jump shot, was just about the calmest player on the court. A 75 free-throw shooter, Williams made both shots.

"I approached the two foul shots the same as I would any foul shots," Williams said. "I try to concentrate, block everything out and think about making the free throw." In a season filled with injuries, Williams, who had 19 points, is the only Cavalier to play in every game. Indiana 111, Milwaukee 109 Reggie Miller threw in an off-balance 19-foot shot with three seconds left at Indianapolis to give the Pacers the victory. The Bucks, who fell just short against the Clippers Friday night, held an 87-80 lead after three quarters. But Miller, who had 20 points, scored the first five, points of the fourth quarter.

Phoenix 119, Denver 111 Kevin Johnson scored 12 of his 38 points in the last 2:11 to preserve the Suns' victory at Denver. The Nuggets, who never led, tied the score, 102-102, with 2:57 left on a layup by Michael Adams. Seconds later, Johnson took charge. Philadelphia 120, Washington 101 Charles Bark-ley had 22 points and 13 rebounds at Landover, to lead the 76ers to their third road win in eight games. The 76ers led almost the entire game.

It was 62-54 at halftime and they stretched it to 82-60 midway through the third quarter. Seattle 113, Atlanta 106 Xavier McDanicl took over with 15 of his 33 points in the fourth quarter at Seattle and the SuperSonics survived the first of many games they will have to play without injured guard Dale Ellis. Dominique Wilkins had 28 points for Atlanta. -DAN HAFNER David Robinson won the battle of the giants Saturday night at Madison Square Garden, but Rod Strickland was the star of the late show. In the much-ballyhooed first meeting of the New York Knicks' Patrick Ewing and the San Antonio Spurs' sensational rookie, Robinson prevailed.

Strickland, the Knicks' backup guard, came off the bench to score 15 points in the fourth quarter to bring them from behind to a 107-101 victory. Robinson finished with 27 points to Ewing's 18 and helped the Spurs build a 65-50 lead four minutes into the third quarter. Ewing rallied the Knicks until he got himself in foul trouble. He scored 10 points in the third quarter and the Knicks cut the deficit to 73-71. Strickland had failed to score and was guilty of four turnovers early in the game.

But he was at his best in the fourth quarter. With Ewing on the bench, Strickland's three-point play on a driving layup gave New York the lead for good, 97-94, with 3:22 left. In the fourth quarter he was four for four from the field and seven of nine from the line. "I really didn't deserve to be in the game in the second half with the first half I had," Strickland said. "But Mark Jackson) needed a breather and I made the most of my opportunity.

"I know I always play better when I do my job on defense. I made up my mind that's what I would do and suddenly, my offensive game returned, too. It was a good win for us because with Robinson and Terry Cummings, the Spurs are a much-improved team." The Knicks are 16-1 at home, and the Spurs, who won at Boston Friday night, fell to 8-8 on the road. The Spurs also lost ground in their bid to overtake the Lakers for the best record in the West. The Spurs are 23-9 and the Lakers 25-8.

Detroit 111, Portland 106 The Pistons rallied in the second half at Auburn Hills, to end the Trail Blazers' six-game winning streak and dropped Portland two games behind the Lakers in the Pacific Division. The Trail Blazers, with Terry Porter running the offense, built a 73-66 lead in the third quarter. Multl 6.80 3.60 3.60 UndaJ 20.4011.20 Risemans Racer 9.20 Time 2.04 35.

The same five played the entire fourth quarter and rallied the Clippers within 13, 111-98, when Wolf hit a six-foot hook with 4:03 remaining. Casey had Harper and Smith and Danny Manning, scorers all, on the bench, but stayed with the same lineup. "We were talking about it," the coach said. "Charles was stretching. But the first thing we said was, 'If they put their starters back in, we'll stick with you because you got us back in We didn't want mass substitution." That's why Joe Wolf got 32 minutes and Smith went 25.

Why Martin, growing in stature with each game, had 24 minutes and Harper played 27. Why Young went 16 minutes compared to Manning's 21. They took advantage of the opportunity, too. Wolf had 17 points, tying Gary Grant for tops among Clippers, and 11 rebounds, equaling Chicago's Scottie Pippen for game-high honors. Young hit six of nine shots for 15 points.

Rivers ran the team to 58 accuracy in the fourth quarter. And as for Benjamin being the lone starter kept in and playing 41 minutes? Just call it exercise class. "We were just going to work him until he dropped," Casey said. The only thing that dropped was the Chicago lead, far enough that Coach Phil Jackson was prompted to put Jordan and Bill Cartwright back in. The Clippers got as close as 117-111 on Young's layup with 16.3 seconds left, but there would be no miracles.

The Clippers already had used their ration of improbability in the previous days. Clipper Notes It's not the hcaithieat bunch returning today. Charles Smith is still bothered by a sore big right toe that sometimes forces him to run awkwardly. Tom Garrtck, who missed the fourth game of the season with a sprained right knee, now has a badly bruised loft knee, the condition of which worsened from Friday to Saturday. Indications are, however, that Ken Norman will return Tuesday against Charlotte after missing seven games of the trip, although no decision will be made until at least today and possibly even just before game time.

The Clippers want him to sit out as long as necessary to heal a strained groin rather than having it nag for a long time. The San Diego or Los Angeles Clippers have never won four road games in a row. No records were immediately available from their days as the Buffalo Braves. The Bulls set a club record with their 13th consecutive home win. The Clippers had another solid fourth-quarter defensive effort to get close, holding Chicago to 18 points in the final 12 minutes.

Starter against starter, the Bulls led by 30 in the second quarter, originally at 63-33, by which time the Chicago backcourt of Michael Jordan and John Paxson had 29 on their own. How this one slipped into the itinerary is anyone's guess. The Clippers, who opened what still has to be considered a wildly successful eight-game trip with a 5-2 record, took the two losses by four points to Detroit and one to New York in overtime.

But it is the one that was anything but symbolic of recent Clipper fortune that they will return home with today. "We jumped on them and made them work," said Jordan, who finished with 28 points and 10 assists. "We let them think about home. We let them think about going back to L.A., especially when it's so cold here." The Clippers took advantage of a similar situation Dec. 26, trouncing Chicago, 120-96, at the Sports Arena in the Bulls' final stop of a seven-game Western swing.

Carbon-copy result, just a different winner. In the rematch, with the Bulls shooting 69.8 in the first two quarters and the Clippers looking like a textbook case of road weary, the hosts were ahead at halftime, 68-41. Chicago had a 37-point first quarter, the best start against the Clippers this season. It didn't get much better in the third quarter for the Clippers, who pulled only as close as 21, 94-73. The starters were out, and no one seemed to mind.

"No," said Ron Harper, who scored 10 points, his lowest output since the Dec. 1 loss at Phoenix. "I was happy. I was three steps slow and had no legs." So Coach Don Casey looked down the bench and found fresh bodies, which wasn't hard to do now that the Clippers have settled into an eight-man rotation on the trip. He left it to Michael Young, David Rivers, Jeff Martin, Joe Wolf and Benoit Benjamin to make it look good on paper.

"I was very surprised how poised they were," Casey said. "It wasn't a relaxing situation for us. We were fighting for respectability on the scoreboard. We've had days of 25- and 30-point losses and didn't want that. We didn't think single digits, though." 1021-6268 35-332 39-429 34-315 38-15 93-802 26-1 51-954 nays-net yd.

Pat LaFontaine, who had a goal in 11 consecutive games, failed to score, but the New York Islanders skated to a 4-2 victory, their sixth in a row.

The Capitals, playing without injured defensive stars, Rod Langway and Scott Stevens, actually took a 2-0 lead in the first period. But Brent Sutter took over the offensive role for the closely-watched LaFontaine in the second period and the Islanders took over. Sutter wound up with two goals and an assist. His first goal, his 18th, gave the Islanders the lead for good, 3-2, in the second period. The Islanders, who had 21 shots in the second period, have had a hot month.

They are 11-1 in their last 12 games and moved from last place to a contending position in the Patrick Division. New York Bangers 3, Boston 2 Rookie goaltender Mike Richter might be the answer to the Rangers' problems. Tomas Sandstrom scored with 34 seconds remaining at Boston to give the Rangers the victory, but only the play of Richter kept the Bruins from winning their sixth in a row. Richter, who stopped 38 shots in a 2-2 tie with Chicago Wednesday night, extended the unbeaten string to two games when he stopped 35 Boston shots. Before Richter's two brilliant performances, the Rangers had fallen from first to last in the Patrick Division.

Buffalo 5, Vancouver 3 Defenseman Mike Ramsey scored a power-play goal and had two assists at Vancouver to help the Sabres end their first slump of the season. The Sabres had lost six in a row, but they must feel rather fortunate. The victory put them just one point behind first-place Boston in the Adams Division race. Minnesota 6, Detroit 4 Mike Modano's first goal in nine games, broke a 3-3 tie at Bloomington, with 13 minutes to play and the North Stars went on to gain the victory. Modano, who leads NHL rookies with 18 goals, also had three assists.

Toronto 6, Calgary 5 Ed Olczyk had two goals and two assists at Toronto to lead the Maple Leafs past the Stanley Cup champions. But Rob Ramage scored the winning goal on a power play with 3:35 remaining in regulation. The Flames, who trail Edmonton in the Smythe Division by four points, outshot Toronto, 38-24. Philadelphia 2, Montreal 2 Mike McPhee scored early in the third period at Montreal to prevent goaltender Pete Peeters from getting his first victory of the season. Peters, who is 0-5-4, stopped 33 shots.

The Flyers scored on two of their first three shots to chase goalie Brian Hay ward. -DAN HAFNER 56 Montana Flafjer Young Sydney Rice Henderson Taylor Helton 25 31 1.2 1 6 27 4.5 0 2 10 5.0 0 I 3 3.00 0 I 0 0.00 0 2 -I 0 I -I 0 6.6 0 4.3 I 6.0 0 1 Totals 493 1966 Opp 372 1383 3.7 9 472 1,909 4.0 19 404 1,543 3.8 13 PA PC PI Yd TO .518 304 17 4,310 29 .5 41 59 0 .523 30818 4,369 29 .577 34521 4,302 24 PtUtag PA PC PI Yd TO Montana 386 271 8 3521 26 Young 92 64 3 1001 8 Bono 5 4 0 62 I Iotas 483 339 1 1 4584 35 Opp 564 31621 3568 15 Racahrrnf No. Yd.

It was 4-3 by the time the period had Robitaille scoring his team-leading 33rd goal at 18:22 from about seven feet out off a pass from Gretzky. The Whalers dominated the final period, scoring twice to put the game out of reach.

"We need to sit down and talk," Hrudey said. "We all need to communicate. It seems like we all go out there with a different game plan." King Notes Defenseman Marly McSorley sat out Saturday night after receiving a game misconduct Thursday. It was his third of the season, meaning an automatic one-game suspension. Through 45 games, the Kings are 20-20-5 for a total of 45 points.

Through the same number of games last season, they were 26-15-3, totaling 55 points.

Without a King in his way, Ron Francis took the puck up the left side after the faceoff, pushed it past defenseman Larry Robinson in the circle and over to Verbeek near the right post, who shoved it in for his team-leading 22nd goal of the season. Bad beginning. But it didn't get any better.

Verbeek came right back with his 23rd goal at the 2:29 mark, this one coming on a power play after Luc Robitaille had been called for holding. Scott Young took a slap shot from the top of the slot that was deflected in by Verbeek's stick, leaving goalie Kelly Hrudey helpless. While the Whalers were moving into high gear, the Kings couldn't seem to get the ignition started. They didn't get their first shot on goal until after five minutes had elapsed. Even then, it only came in the final 30 seconds of a power play.

At 15:05, the Whalers scored their third goal, Dineen getting his 14th. Dincen skated up the left side and left a drop pass for Adam Burt, who passed back to Dineen on a give-and-go for the score. By the time the period ended, the Kings had been outshot, 14-4. The second period started much like the first. Actually the Kings defense tightened.

This time, it took the Whalers 1:51 to score. Adam Burt took a shot from the slot that Hrudey blocked with his body. But Randy Cunneyworth was in position to flip in the rebound for his 10th goal to make the score 4-0. The Kings began the long road back 37 seconds later. Gretzky took the puck from behind the net and dumped it in the crease, where Jay Miller was able to push it in for his fourth goal and second in three games.

The assist, Gretzky's league-leading 67th, increased his point-scoring streak to 12 games.
