Page F2, The Citizen, Ottawa, Wednesday May 15, 1985 Five-goal barrage gives Raiders victory ST f-' i I f. 5- i I ') a-" NBA ROUNDUP Nuggets play physical game to upset Lakers Nuggets 136, Lakers 114 INGLEWOOD, Calif. (UPI) Alex English poured in 40 points Tuesday night to lead Denver over Los Angeles and even the best-of-seven Western Conference championship series at 1-1. The series moves to Denver for the third and fourth games Friday night and Sunday. The physical game turned into a near-brawl with 6:18 remaining when Denver's Danny Schayes and the Lakers' Magic Johnson got into a shoving match.

Kareem Ab-dul-Jabbar, who had exchanged words with Schayes two minutes earlier and was given a technical foul, jumped onto Schayes' back and wrestled him to the floor as players from both benches poured onto the court. Order was restored, but Abdul-Jabbar, who had hit only four-of-16 field goal attempts, was ejected with his team trailing 113-97. The loss was the Lakers' first at the Forum in their last 24 games and snapped the team's longest-ever home streak. Denver was the only team in the NBA to beat the Lakers twice at home during the regular season. Celtics 106, 76ers 98 BOSTON (UPI) Larry Bird scored 13 of his 24 points in the fourth quarter to lead the Boston Celtics to victory over the Philadelphia 76ers and take 2-0 lead in their Eastern Conference finals.

Dennis Johnson and Kevin McHale each scored 22 for the defending champions and centre Robert Parish had 16 rebounds and 13 points. The victory was Boston's 19th in their last 20 playoff games at home. Boston used an 9-3 surge late in the fourth quarter to take control. Danny Ainge scored, six of Boston's points during the run, which gave the Celtics a 99-89 advantage with 2:58 remaining. Bird scored five of Bos-ton's final seven points.

The 76ers trailed 78-70 entering the final quarter and never managed to draw closer than four points. later and Peer completed the scoring for the Sault Ste. Marie, club at 16:23. The Raiders began their second-period barrage with Goertz's third goal of the tournament on a blast from the right faceoff circle during a power play. Bennett's first goal of the tournament 29 seconds later, the sec-" ond shot on Mosey, doubled the lead to 4-2 and Grenier made it 5-2 15 seconds later with his fourth tournament goal.

Mosey was then relieved and Abrams found himself back in the action. McFee scored his second goal of the night at 10:33 of the middle period when he had four tries" from the side of the net as Abrams's defence abandoned him. McFee's third goal, at 12:20, gave the Raiders a 7-2 lead. Beukeboom broke the Raider scoring string when he banked a shot off Komonosky and into the Prince Albert net at 16:11 during a power play. After some clean, crisp hockey and sustained pressure by the Raiders in the early minutes, the pace slowed considerably as players congregated for some unfriendly chatter and stick waving after each whistle.

Referee Jean-Pierre Desauln-iers handed out 24 minutes in penalties during the opening period and it was while the teams were playing four men aside that Hollett put the Greyhounds ahead with a shot along the ice from the left point that found the far corner of the net at 4:07. In earlier games, the Grey-' hounds had beaten Shawinigan Cataractes 4-3 and Verdun Junior Canadiens 6-3. The Raiders lost their opening game 6-2 against the Cataractes, but rebounded with a 5-3 verdict against Verdun. The Junior Canadiens face elimination tonight unless they can repeat their performance in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League playoffs. Raiders 8, Greyhounds 6 DRUMMONDVILLE, Que.

(CP) The Memorial Cup hockey tournament experienced its first shootout Tuesday night and few teams are more suited to wide-open offensive contests than Prince Albert Raiders. "We feel confident when we get into this type of game because we know we've got they guys who can score enough goals to pull us through," said Prince Albert captain Dan Hodgson who, despite being held scoreless, chipped in five assists for the Raiders in their 8-6 victory against the previously-undefeated Soo Greyhounds. Dale McFee was the primary sharpshooter in the Raider victory, scoring three times. The victory left Prince Albert and the Greyhounds in a tie for first place, but neither is guaranteed a berth in the final Saturday. The complicated playoff picture will fall into place tonight when Shawinigan and Verdun meet.

The Raiders, champions of the Western Hockey League, broke open a 2-2 tie with a five-goal assault in the second period, including a pair by McFee. Tony Grenier, with a pair for a tournament-leading total of five, Dave Goertz, Dave Pasin and Brad Bennett completed the Raider scoring. Steve Hollett, Wayne Groulx, Jeff Beukeboom, Chris Felix, Wayne Presley and Brit Peer countered for the Ontario Hockey League-champion Greyhounds. Ward Komonosky tended goal for the Raiders and faced 37 shots, while Marty Abrams and Scott Mosey shared the Soo goal-tending duties and faced a total of 42 shots. The Raiders carried a 7-3 lead into the third period, but the Greyhounds narrowed the margin to 7-5 on goals by Felix at 3:11 and Groulx at 6:21.

University, has all but agreed to a multi-year deal. Still, Marler was looking forward to the opening of training camp. "I was expecting to come to camp so, yes, I'm surprised with what has happened," said Marler, from his home in Burlington. "Last year, I didn't show much but I wasn't really in shape. Right now, I feel I'm in excellent shape.

I took a lot of time off work this winter and now I feel like all that time has been wasted. I wish I had known what their plans were back in January." Marler, out of Mississipi University, works as a financial adviser in Hamilton, where he played five seasons with the Ti-ger-Cats. With only 10 days remaining before most clubs open camp, Marler doubts he will receive an invitation to another camp. "I don't feel used by the (Riders) at all," he said. "I just wish I had the chance of a training camp.

I know who's there and who they have coming in. I think they would have been surprised with what I can do. "I'd love to still play. I wanted a couple of more years to satisfy some goals. But at least, it's not like I'm out in the cold, looking for work." McBride came to Ottawa last year after Riders obtained him from the British Columbia Lions as a free agent.

"In his case we simply think we have signed better players going into training camp," Holtby said. "No sense wasting our time and his time." From page F1 story: Phillips, Walker don't fit in Riders plans, clear CFL waivers him. I would have settled on a late-round draft pick." Albrecht will search other avenues but realizes that if Walker catches on with another CFL club, it won't be at the salary he would have made this season with Ottawa. He also realizes that NFL clubs aren't usually interested in 31-year-old running backs. Al Vicanti, who represents Phillips, praised the Riders for their efforts to find Phillips work.

"It seemed strange for management and an agent to be working so well together," Vacanti said from his Omaha, law office. "Both Holtby and Moss were most co-operative and up front. There was concern for Rudy and we understand Ottawa's situation." But Vicanti said there wasn't much interest in Phillips. "Last year when Rudy considered playing out his option four or five NFL clubs were interested," said Vacanti. "But those clubs have filled holes and this year's U.S.

college draft had a lot of good offensive linemen. Rudy doesn't fit the computer NFL image of a lineman because at six feet two inches he's considered short." The Riders lured Marler out of retirement last year but he did not excel.
