2 center catch Wilt and become No. 1? What has been happening for the defending champion Lakers has not been very encouraging. Since guard Magic Johnson suffered a knee injury in November. the leakers have posted only a mediocre 12-11 record and have fallen seven games behind the Phoenix Suns in the Pacific Division race. Hulls 108. Clippers 93 Chicago fell behind by 13 points in the first half but dominated play the rest of the way as Ixirry Kenon scored 31 points and Reggie Theus added 27. The Bulls have won 12 of their last 16 outings, while San Diego is on a five-game losing streak.
Despite the victory, which evened his club’s record at 2121. Bulls Coach Jerry Sloan called the effort “mediocre at best. While we got back to .500, we certainly did not look good doing it.” Spurs 113, Knicks 108 James Silas scored a seasonhigh 33 points and San Antonio shot 61 percent to extend its winning streak to five games. The Spurs broke the game open with a 16-4 burst in the fourth quarter in which they held the Knicks to just one field goal in more that six minutes. Bucks 102. Nets 86 Junior Bridgeman scored 16 of his 31 points in the third quarter to help Milwaukee turn a 45-
42 halftime deficit into a 79-64 lead going into the final period. Milwaukee has won five in a row while New Jersey has lost its last nine starts. Suns 113, Hawks 106 Phoenix posted its ninth victory in the last 10 games as forward Len “Truck” Robinson scored 33 points. The Suns opened a 15-point lead in the first period and were never caught. Blazers 110. Pistons 90 Portland, led by guards Billy Ray Bates and Jim Paxson, outscored Detroit 25-8 in the first seven minutes of the final period and breezed past the Pistons.

Blue Demons tease another foe; Notre Dame streak now at eight
Bv KILEY ARMSTRONG AP Sports Writer Maine Coach Skip Chappelle has a word for players like Mark Aguirre. “Awesome” was the term Chappelle used after Aguirre playing with a sprained ankle scored 47 points to help topranked DePaul overcome a Maine team that shot 67 percent from the floor. Aguirre, who connected on 19 of 26 shots, scored the key tipin

to give DePaul a 78-73 lead with 1:59 to play, enroute to the 85-77 victory Tuesday night. “We fouled out 2'/ 2 people on him. I never saw a player go up with so many people on him and get off his shot,” said Chappelle. DePaul Coach Ray Meyer had compliments for the Black Bears as well. “Everyone we talked to told us that Maine was a good team,” Meyer said.“ They shot 67 percent from the floor. When a team shoots like Maine did, there’s nothing you can do about it.” The win raised DePaul’s record to 13-0. The Black Bears led the Blue Demons 30-21 with 7:26 left in the first half after hitting 10 of their first 11 shots from the floor. But Aguirre broke loose for 24 points at intermission, shooting over the shorter Bears almost at will. Maine’s Champ Godbolt equaled his career high 27 points, and fellow sophmore Rick Carlisle added 22 to keep Maine, 5-7, within striking distance. Terry Cummings and substitute Bernard Randolph each scored 12 points for DePaul. An injury that has kept power forward Alex Bradley out for three games contributed to Villanova’s 94-65 loss to fifth-ranked Notre Dame. “I think when they’re healthy, they’re as good as anybody. When they get Bradley back, they’ll really be tough,” said Notre Dame Coach Digger Phelps. The victory was Notre Dame’s eight straight win since its loss to seventh-ranked UCLA in the season opener. “We wanted to come at them very hard,” said Tracy Jackson, who scored 20 points, grabbed nine rebounds and blocked two shots for the Irish. “Last year we were up by 15 or 16 in South Bend and they came back within one point 170-69) Orlando Woolridge, a 6-foot-9 senior, added 16 points to the Irish attack, including three crushing dunks, demonstrating Notre Dame’s inside strength. Mike Mulquin had 14 points to lead Villanova. which fell to 7-2. South Alabama took a decisive 76-52 Sun Belt Conference victory over Virginia Commonwealth’s Rams but there’ll be no rest for the 15thranked winners. “We can’t coast. We’ve got to protect our national ranking and our conference standing. The pressure is on us to continue to win,” said South Alabama Coach Cliff Ellis. “We’re going to take ’em one at a time and I’m not going to celebrate until March, when it’s all said and dor.e, and hopefully it will be the national championship.” John May, a 6-foot-9 center, scored 25 points to lead the Jaguars, who posted their 10th consecutive victory and increased their overall record to 11-1. May hit seven of nine shots from the floor and all 11 of his free throw attempts. He also grabbed 11 rebounds. VCU was led by Kenny Stancell with 20 points. The Rams, who had won their last seven games, dropped to 8-2. The Jaquars controlled play from the outset, hitting on six of their first seven shots to take a 12-6 lead, behind May. who carried only a 6.5-point scoring average into the game. South Alabama moved to a 36-27 halftime advantage. After intermission. the Jagquars’ lead never was less than five points.
