John Wooden of UCLA, added, “I think that’s a characteristic of the press.” Miller benched three of his starters, including freshman star Clark Kellogg and 6-foot-fl forward Jim Smith in the first half because they couldn’t take the pace. Louisville took command with the Buckeye subs on the floor. “I knew it was going to be a tough game and when you run up and down the court that hard, you have to rest some players,” Crum said. Needing little R&R for were Derek Smith, who scored 18 points, Jerry Eaves, who had 11, and Rodney McCray, 10 points.

Coach called it defense, but K was more offense

ByTOMCANAVAN Associated Press Writer New Jersey Coach Kevin Loughery may like to think that defense has turned W inford Boynes’ game around in the National Basketball Association but Wednesday night it was something else offense; and plenty of it. Boynes, playing in his second season, scored a career-high 32 points as the Nets whipped the

Seattle Super Sonics 122-114 for their first victory over the defending NBA champions in over two seasons. “Boynes played a fantastic games,” said Loughery after watching his team snap the Sonics four-game winning streak. “He has been playing well for us the past month. And what has turned his game around is defense.” In other NBA action Wednesday night, Kansas City defeated Washington 107-97; Boston crushed Philadelphia 112-89; Atlanta held off Los Angeles 119-112; Chicago edged Houston 108-102; San Antonio nipped Indiana 127-123; Phoenix blasted Utah 117-99; Cleveland got by Golden State 128-125 in overtime and Denver downed Portland 114-106. Boynes, a 6-foot-guard from San Francisco, hit on 12-of-18 shots from the field and eight of nine from the free throw line. But Boynes scoring was only half the story in the Nets win. The other half was roughly 14feet tall or the size of two sevenfoot centers George Johnson
