"If I had drawn attention, I would have passed off," Worthy said after scoring on a running one-hander with three seconds left in overtime Sunday to give the Lakers a 112-110 victory. "The defense seemed to shift toward the side and I saw the opening in the middle." Worthy said his drive for the winning basket came off a set play, "but we have more than one threat I think they were looking for Magic Johnson, who was on the other side of the court" Worthy only scored six points in the first half, but finished with 24. The victory gave the Lakers a 19-10 road record, tops in the league. Riley said the 76ers" philosophy "was to take the ball out of Magic's hands and they did that very well in the first half.

We made some adjustments and helped get Magic back into the game." Johnson only had two points by halftime, but put in 14 the rest of the way and finished with 18 as- 'J The Associated Press Tim McCormick's face. NHL ourt inidefisiitely time in its last 11 games.

Corzine's tiebreakine jumper tfrom the top of the key with 47 sec onas leu ana two free throws with 10 seconds to go by Michael Jordan gave the Bulls a 102-98 triumph Sunday, handing the Cavaliers their 14th consecutive road loss. "I didn't dream I'd get a second chance after blowing two free throws with less than three minutes in, the game and us trailing 98-96," Cflrzine said.

"I guess we got a break when Brad Daugherty got called for an offensive foul after hitting a jumper from the baseline." had the game taken away from us on the call by the referee Ken Mauer," Cavaliers coach Lenny Wilkens said. "You have to make that call when Daugherty gets hammered, but to my amazement, Daugherty gets whistled for art ofensive foul. It was a terrible call. Our guy made a great baseline shot and gets hammered. You can't bail the defense out that way." fJordan had tied the game at 98-98 on a pair of free throws with 1:24 left.

He also had eight steals and helped cause Ron Harper to commit 11 turnovers. Cleveland's Mark Price missed a short jumper and Jordan cleared the rebound before Corzine connected for only his second basket of the. game.

was leading the Philippine Open by two shots going into the filial round but double-bogeyed the if inal hole to lose by a shot. I It was that sort of folding finish that was synonymous with T.C., jwho lost the 1983 Kemper Open with a double bogey on 16 and a bo-jgey on 17, and his world-famous double chip at Oakland Hills. "We have 18 million people in 'Taiwan," Chen said. "I think they're happy." There are just as many unhappy (Americans, who have adopted Crenshaw as one of their favorites. tAfter 36 consecutive holes without ja bogey, Crenshaw went to the playoff hole and watched as Chen 'pushed his drive to the right on the 449-yard dogleg.

"That's the only place you don't want to be," Crenshaw thought. jOvercompensating, he pull-hooked his drive onto a cart path, 192 yards from the hole. 'J Then he watched Chen hit a 4--iron that landed 15 feet from the 'pin. Crenshaw was trying to decide whether to take a free drop, but he didn't like the lie and decided to 'play his ball off the handpan. "Turns out I should have," he 'said.

He lost his footing on the gravel road and pushed a 3-iron into the 'fight front bunker. His sand shot was close to perfect. After Chen missed from IS feet, his par putt sever had a chance. "My record in playoffs has been pitiful," said Crenshaw, who lost to David Graham in the 1979 PGA Championship. "I don't know why." It was especially disappointing to Crenshaw, since he is a lover of Classic golf courses and Riviera is certainly one of the world's masterpieces.

In 1983, he was two shots back of Hal Sutton going into the final round of the PGA Championship on this course and shot 77 to finish eight strokes back, "You hope for a chance to win, but In golf you can never tell what's going to happen," Crenshaw said. "Just look at what happened." Uli- elbow room at the expense Potvini is Sun-Sentinel wire services EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -Denis Potvin of the New York Islanders, the NHL's all-time leading scorer among defenseman, will be sidelined indefinitely because of an injured left knee. Potvin sustained a severe bruise and sprain in Saturday night's game with Montreal and missed Sunday's blowout of New Jersey. "Potvin will be re-X-rayed and re-evaluated," coach Terry son said after the 7-0 victory over the Devils.

"Right now he's out indefinitely, and we don't know where we stand." In 54 games this season, Potvin scored 10 goals and 38 points. Potvin needs three points to reach 1,000, an unprecedented feat by a defenseman. He ranks 24th on the all-time scoring list Potvin, 33, has been with the Islanders since 1973, when New York made him the No. 1 selection in the draft. He has won the Norris Trophy three times and played on four Stanley Cup winners.
