Associated Press The message was clear for the Phoenix Suns and Houston Rockets in their National Basketball Association playoff games win and keep on playing or lose and wait until next season. But the urgency of the situation didn't quite sink in for the New Jersey Nets and Atlanta Hawks. Last night, Phoenix whipped Denver 126-110 and Houston trimmed Seattle 91-70 to send their best-of -three mini-series to final games. But the season ended for the Nets, as they lost 103-92 to Washington, and the Hawks, 98-95 losers to Philadelphia, in two-game sweeps. I The Suns knew what they had to do to beat Denver after dropping the first game 129-113 on Tuesday, but they nearly let it slip away.

"We learned our lesson from the first game," said Phoenix forward Alvan Adams, who scored 25 points. "We knew we couldn't afford to let up at all because they had beaten us before that way with a big third period. "We stayed calm and didn't let anything they tried to do faze us like before. We stuck to our game plan and it worked." Denver sliced the Suns' 23-point lead in the second quarter to 87-82 with 3:45 left in the third period on David Thompson's three-point goal. But Phoenix reeled off eight straight points and coasted the rest of the way.

Dennis Johnson paced the winners with 29 points, including 12 in the first quarter as the Suns raced to a 41-20 lead. Dan Issel tossed in 26 points, Alex English 21 and Thompson 19 for the Nuggets. The decisive game will be played tonight in Denver. Rockets 91, SuperSonics 70 Moses Malone scored 28 points and grabbed 23 rebounds as control-minded Houston halted the fast-breaking Sonics. The final game will be played tomorrow in Seattle.

The Sonics won the first game 102-87 on Wednesday. Houston led from start to finish and turned back a Sonics' rally that trimmed the margin to 55-50 in the third period. Malone hit three straight baskets to give Houston control again. Gus Williams paced Seattle with 18 points and Jack Sikma added 16 points and 11 rebounds. 76ers 98, Hawks 95 Caldwell Jones dropped in four pressure free throws in the final 1:07 of overtime to lift Philadelphia over the Hawks in a physical contest in which 75 fouls were called.

The 76ers advance to the second round of the Eastern playoffs tomorrow against the Milwaukee Bucks in Philadelphia. Jones gave Philadelphia a 95-93 lead when he hit two free thows with 1:07 to go and added two more with 21 seconds remaining for a comfortable 97-93 advantage. Atlanta's Dan Roundfield, the game's top scorer with 29 points, sent the game into overtime when he pumped in a 15-footer with 12 seconds to go to tie the game at 90. Atlanta protested the game when the officials did not eject Philadelphia's Lionel Hollins in the third quarter when he threw a punch at Atlanta's Wayne "Tree" Rollins. Julius Erving led Philadelphia with 28 points.

(1944) Associated Press The New York Islanders are right where you would expect them this time of year in the Stanley Cup semifinals. Keeping them company there are two clubs who seemed more like pretenders than contenders when the National Hockey League playoffs began.

The Chicago Black Hawks, who finished 15th in the overall standings this season and fourth in the Norris Division, reached the NHL's Final Four with a 2-0 decision over the St. Louis Blues last night. They'll take on the Vancouver Canucks, winners of the Smythe playoff after winding up 11th overall. The Islanders, overall point champions this season and two-time defending Stanley Cup titlists, also moved into the semifinals last night when they ousted the Rangers with a 5-3 triumph. Both the Islanders and Black Hawks needed six games to win their series, while the Canucks beat Los Angeles in five.

The only quarterfinal series still undecided is tied at three games apiece thanks to Boston's 6-5 overtime decision at Quebec, with Peter McNab scoring the game-winner 10:54 into the extra session. Game 7 of that series will be played tomorrow in Boston. The Black Hawks reached into the past to eliminate the Blues as veteran goaltender Tony Esposito, who turned 39 yesterday, made 31 saves to post his sixth playoff shutout. Denis Savard and Rich Preston scored goals 4:37 apart in the second period for Chicago, which had a 30-38-12 record this season. "The fact that Tony Esposito started tonight for the Hawks didn't surprise me," said Blues President-General Manager-Coach Emile Francis.

"He has proven in 14 seasons that he larly pleased with their playoff performance so far. "I'm surprised that we didn't play better in these two series," said Goring, noting that his club was extended to overtime in the decisive fifth game of the opening series with Pittsburgh. "It's better if we win our way. We've had only three or four Islander-type games out of 11. I'm disappointed and surprised about that." Rangers Coach Herb Brooks was proud of his troops.

"I think we've proven we belong in the top echelon of the NHL," said Brooks. "We wanted to close the gap between us and the best. This series-showeus we've done that." Bruins 6, Nordiques 5 McNab, a sometime-performer in the playoffs, got the chance to be a hero after the Bruins blew 3-0 and 5-2 leads. Standing in front of Nordiques goalie John Garrett, McNab got the puck from Wayne Cashman and swept it through the crease into the far corner. "I didn't fully realize what had happened until I got back to the dressing room because it was like a jungle on the ice after the goal," said McNab, ho also scored in the first period.

"We didn't feel down after we blew the lead," said Boston's Rick Middleton. "Our team plays better in the clutch. We got the winning goal and that's what counts." Barry Pederson added a goal and two assists for the Bruins, while Rene Cloutier connected twice for Quebec and Michel Goulet had a goal and two assists. "The odds were against us but we came back from a big deficit and were really tired," said Nordiques Coach Michel Bergeron. "We went into Boston and won our last game and there is no reason why we can't do it again." is a great goaltender, and tonight was no exception." Esposito has taken a back seat to Murray Bannerman for most of the playoffs, starting only three of the Hawks' 10 postseason games.

But according to Bob Pulford, Chicago's GM-coach, Esposito was "the big difference. "The guy rose to the occasion to give us a game we could not afford to lose." said Pulford. "A lot of people asked me if I wasn't too old to play at 39," said Esposito. "I stay in great shape 12 months a year and I consider myself a quality goalie. As far as I'm concerned, I'll be around a long time." St.

Louis' Bernie Federko agreed with Pulford that Esposito was the main reason the Blues are on the sidelines and the Black Hawks will play for theCampbell Conference championship. "Everything we threw at Tony tonight was turned back," said Federko. "No matter how hard we tried, the Hawks did a great job of shutting off our offense. We thought we could come back after winning on our home ice Wednesday, but somehow we couldn't execute tonight." Islanders 5, Rangers 3 The Islanders struggled to beat the Rangers in a tight series, with the champs winning all three games played on the Rangers' home ice. Butch Goring scored two goals and defenseman Dave Langevin who had one goal all season scored the game-winner with a long slapshot with only 6:08 to play.

"In the playoffs," said Denis Pot-vin, the Islander defenseman most likely to score goals, "it doesn't matter whether a guy had 60 goals or two. Anyone can be a hero." Despite eliminating, their local rivals, the Islanders weren't particu CD CBS News. (SdD Tony Brown's Journal. NBC News. 2 The Muppets.
