It looked easy when the Spartans added another touchdown late in the first quarter. Pat Sterling started the Spartans on their way with a 56 yard run to put the ball deep in Stevenson territory. Kent Wiley, clearly the best defensive player on the field with five quarterback sacks, proved he also knows what to do when he gets the ball.

Our Most Popuisr Glsss-Beltsd Steel Belted Metric Radials Any Size Listed One Low Price RICHFIELD, Ohio (UPI) Goalies are nonexistent in professional basketball, but Golden State unveiled one Sunday night. Seven-foot center Robert Parish blocked 11 shots, grabbed 16 rebounds and tossed in 22 points to spark the Warriors to a 99-94 NBA victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers. That has to be a career-high for me," smiled Parish, who blocked 20 shots in the first seven games this season and knocked away 123 potential two-pointers last year. The game wasn't as close as the score indicates as the Warriors jumped out to a 33-20 lead by hitting on 15 of 20 field-goal attempts in the first period and held a 92-75 advantage with five minutes left in the game. We have some quick people this year, and the addition of John Lucas has got us moving, said Golden State Coach A1 Attles.

It's going to take a little time and hard work to really get going, and if there is any one area we lack in, it is in experience," added Attles. The C'avs, who outscored the Warriors 16-5 in a four-minute span that cut the lead to 97-91 with 50 seconds remaining, made it a three-point ballgame when Campy Russell converted a three-point play with 23 seconds left. Veteran Phil Smith, who flipped in 17 points for the Warriors, tossed in a pair of foul shots one second later and the Cavs went down to their third straight loss after opening the season with four straight victories. We had too many turnovers, and 1 cant figure out why we don't pass the ball better, said Cleveland Coach Bill Fitch. "Passing and decisions have been our problem on offense, and we have had trouble rebounding," added Fitch.

Attles played four of his starting five over 40 minutes each with forward Sonny Parker logging 32 minutes. This was the first game on our current road trip, and it is easier to let the guys go a long time in the first game than it is in the last game, said Attles. We just hit that dead spot in the fourth period, but overall, 1 thought it was a good game, he added. While Lucas was dishing out 12 assists and flipping in 19 points for the Warriors, Russell paced the Cleveland offensive attack with 28 points, including 12 of 21 from the field. Nuggets 134, Rockets 121 George McGinnis and David Thompson each scored 26 points to lead the Nuggets to a victory over Houston.

Lakers 109, Capitals 93 Kareem Abdul-Jabbars 20 points and a pressing defense led Los Angeles to a victory over Washington, losers of four straight games. Clippers 103, SuperSonics 100 Lloyd Free hit a pair of jumpers in the final two minutes to spark San Diego to a victory that snapped Seattle's seven-game winning streak. 145SR10 biackwail, pi us J1 11 E.T. and old lira G800S Combines The Strength Ot Steel Beits And The Smoothness Ot Polyester Cord With The Gas-Savmg Benefits Of Radial Construction! 78-13 ASTRF.
