DAILY SUN Sports May 5, 1975 Celtics cold, but gain win BOSTON (AP) The defending champion Boston Celtics, still down by one game in their National Basketball Association playoff with the Washington Bullets, are struggling to regain their shooting form. "We're due to break out," Boston captain John Havlicek said after the Celtics hit on just 39 per cent of their field goal attempts Saturday in a 101-90 victory over the Bullets. "We couldn't shoot any worse than we have so far in this series." Veteran forward Paul Silas, who contributed 10 points while grabbing 25 rebounds as the Celtics remained alive in the best-ofseven Eastern Conference final, tried to the shooting. "When you have to make the shots, it's not the Silas said. "If you're up by 13, the rim looks as big as the ocean.

But if you're down, it can look very small." Despite the third game victory after two losses, Boston Coach Tommy Heinsohn was concerned with the team's over-all shooting. "It could have been a 30- point game," Heinsohn said. "We were very effective on defense and got the second shots on the offensive boards. However, we still didn't shoot well and that bothers me. Dave Cowens and Jo Jo White led Boston scorers in the third game, but none hit on 50 per cent of his shots.

Havlicek connected on nine of 20 while scoring 26 points. Cowens hit on 10 of 27, finishing with 24 points. White had 21 points, but managed to hit on just nine of 25 field goal attempts. The Celtics threw up a tight pressing defense to pull away from Washington in the third quarter. The Bullets scored just 10 points in the third period and Boston was home free with a 14-point lead heading into the final quarter.

While hoping to regain their shooting eyes, the Celtics are expected to continue the same defensive tactics in the fourth game at Landover, Md. Watson scores sport's millionth th run BURROUGHS' HR TIPS ANGELS go Twins topple Royals, at 2-1 "When the ball was hit, I had to hold up because it looked like Bobby Murcer had a play on it," Watson said. "I went back to second to tag, then I ran hard when I saw it was over. "Give Milt credit, he added. "It wouldn't have been possible without his homer.

I played such a small part in this great game -I'm just glad I could do my part." Back in Cincinnati, Concepcion was still drinking in the cheers of the crowd and the congratulations of his teammates when the word went up the scoreboard that he was run No. 1,000,001. He'd been flying past third base when Watson scored. "It broke my heart," Concepcion said. Then, turning philosopher, he added: "Maybe my grandchildren will get the 2 millionth Concepcion returned to the plate in the seventh inning to hit a tie-breaking double off Niekro that gave the Reds a 3-2 victory over the Braves.

And while May's threehomer in a five-run second inning wasn't enough to keep the Giants from winning 8-6, the Astros came back in the second game of the, doubleheader for a 12-8 victory.

Giants 8-8, Astros 6-12 San Francisco rallied for their first-game victory on Gary Thomason's tie-breaking tworun triple in the seventh inning.

The Astros bounced back in the second game with a sixrun fourth inning highlighted by May's tworun single and Rob Andrews' tworun triple. The clubs set a major league record of 42 walks in the doubleheader and the 26 in the nightcap broke the league's single-game mark. Padres 10, Dodgers 7 "I feel that I have to get a hit every time I'm at the plate for me to play regularly," said San Diego's Gene Locklear. He was at the plate twice in the seventh inning against the Dodgers. He opened a decisive seven-run explosion with a solo homer and closed it with a tworun double.

Cubs 8, Cardinals Reggie Smith drove in five runs for St. Louis with two homers, a double and two singles--but it wasn't enough to turn back Chicago, which erupted for five runs of its own, all in the seventh inning. The Cubs did it with the aid of three straight walks from Lynn McGlothen following Pete LaCock's leadoff single. Jose sacrifice fly tied it, Bill Madlock's single untied it and Jerry Morales singled for two more runs. like (AP) home, and There's the Yankees pasted at 11-4 By HOWARD SMITH AP Sports Writer Minnesota's Rod Carew and New York's Chris Chambliss were 90 feet away from glory Sunday, but they came up a couple of feet short.

Carew and Chambliss were both tossed out at home moments before Houston's Bob Watson scored major league baseball's one millionth run Sunday. Watson collected $1,000 and a gold watch for his feat. Carew could take consolation in the Twins' 6-3 victory over Kansas City. Chambliss and the Yankees got nothing but an 11-4 pasting from Milwaukee. "I knew it would have been the one millionth run because the word was relayed from the dugout," said Carew, who was thrown out at the plate by right fielder Al Cowens on a short fly ball in the second inning.

"I don't think it really would have meant that much." Chambliss missed his chance in the fourth when Milwaukee first baseman George Scott caught him trying to score on a grounder. "I did that to Chambliss? I didn't know that," said Scott. Chambliss. That's all I can say, man- poor Chambliss. If I knew that maybe I wouldn't have him yes, I would have, too."

Now he goes home to Dallas seeking--very enthusiastically-two victories in a row. "There is no substitute for victory," "the veteran Crampton said Sunday after he'd scored by two strokes over challenging Dr. Gil Morgan, a far-sighted eye doctor who decided to take up golf instead of fitting glasses after receiving his doctorate from the Southern College of Optometry.

This is it! thought the crowd of less than 10,000, which wasn't too thrilled by the second-inning three-run homer for the Astros but cheered nevertheless for Watson as he dashed home. And at 30 seconds after 12:32 p.m., PDT, Watson touched home plate, the millionth time it had happened in the majors and the since Wes Fisler of Philadelphia started it all 99 years and 12 days ago. "I ran hard," Watson acknowledged. "I had no idea how many runs were needed when I came to the ballpark, but then I saw where only 12 were needed when the game started.

"When I came to bat in the second inning, I saw a 'one' on the scoreboard, so I knew I had a chance." Watson walked and stole second. Then Jose Cruz walked, bringing up May, who belted John Montefusco's second pitch over the right field screen. Bulls up Golden State Warriors are glad to be there this week. The Warriors trail 2-1 in their National Basketball Association Western Conference final playoff series with the Chicago Bulls, who Sunday won their second in a row at the Chicago Stadium with a 108-101 triumph. Now the Warriors, who started fast but were pinned on the ropes the entire second half by the sharp-shooting of Chicago's Norm Van Lier, have Tuesday and Thursday night contests on their own court to recoup in the be seven series.

"We knew there was a possibility of losing both our games said Warrior Coach Al Attles, "and now the pressure is on us." The Warriors won the series opener at Oakland 107- 89 and very nearly took the second game here Wednesday night before the Bulls snatched it 90-89 on Tom Boerwinkle's field goal in the last two seconds. But there was nothing flimsy about Chicago's victory in Sunday's nationally televised game in which Van Lier pumped in 35 points and the Bulls were in control after Golden State suddenly slumped to a 13- point second quarter. It was a game in which the guard tandems of both teams took the play away from their high-scoring star forwards, Chicago's Bob Love and Golden State's Rick Barry, While Love was held to 19 points, Van Lier and guard running mate Jerry Sloan combined for 40 points. struggled for a 21- effort, but the Warrior guards clicked for 46 with Butch Beard hitting for 28 and Charlie Johnson 18. The Bulls took command early in the third quarter when Van Lier and Sloan scored six" successive points for a 64-57 lead and Golden State continued to falter for a 10-point deficit, 81-71, entering the final quarter.

Observers might have doubted Brown's sincerity, especially since his Nuggets posted an unequaled 40-2 record at home during the regular season.

Then Denver won all three of its home games in the opening series against Utah, making Brown's statementseem all the more dubious. But in the Western Division final series against Indiana, home was anything but sweet for both teams. The last four games in the game series were won by visiting team, including Saturday night's 104-96 Indiana victory over Denver that vaulted the Pacers into the ABA championship series beginning May 13 in Louisville against Kentucky. In all, five of the games in the -Denver series were won by the visitors. Indiana forward George McGinnis had scored 39 points in the series' opening game, which Pacers only loss here.

In Saturday night's finale, he personally saw to it that victory did not escape the Pacers. The 6-foot-8 McGinnis had game high totals of 40 points, 23 rebounds and eight assists. He also was credited with three steals and a blocked shot. and he committed just one turnover. Rookie Bobby.

It was the first victory for the White team, consisting of the second and third strings, since 1972. The Red team, consisting of the first and fourth teams, had trouble from the start. Dave Gillespie fumbled the opening kickoff on the Red 24 and Al Eveland recovered for the White squad. It took the Whites just six plays, with O'Leary carrying five times, to tally.

O'Leary scored from the four with 12:20 remaining in the first quarter.
