Jabbar moves to No. 2 on all-time scoring list
By WILLIAM R. BARNARD \P Sports Writer Kareern Abdul-Jabbar has moved within one notch of becoming the National Basketball Association's all-time leading scorer, and the Utah Jazz has come close to carving its own niche in the record book. Abdul-Jabbar scored 14 points Tuesday night as the Los Angeles Lakers trounced the Jazz 117-86, but it was his basket in the first quarter that earned him a standing ovation from the 11,384 tans at the Forum. The left-handed hook gave him seven points for the game and 26,711 points in his career, one more than Oscar Robertson Wilt Chamberlain is the all time leader with 31,419. After Abdul-Jabbar s heroics, the Jazz seemed star-struck, scoring five points in the second quarter as the Lakers took a 5935 halftime lead. Although NBA records for futility are incomplete. it was believed to be the second-lowest scoring performance by any team since the NBA’s 24-second shot clock rule started in 1954. The Buffalo Sabres scored four points in a quarter of a game against Milwaukee in 1972. 76ers 107, Hawks 98 Julius Erving led a second-half surge as Philadelphia avenged its only loss of the season by beating Atlanta. Erving scored 19 of his game-high 30 points in the second half, including 11 in the third quarter when the 76ers took the lead for good and went on to improve their record to 14-1, including 10 straight victories. The only loss was to the Hawks Nov. 6. Suns 117, Clippers 94 Phoenix won its fourth straight game and eighth in a row over San Diego as Truck Robinson scored 25 points and Kyle Macy 22. The Clippers were still in the game entering the fourth quarter, but the Suns scored 39 points in the final period to win going away.

JABBAR: No. 2on NBA scoring list
At least Boston might believe Davis is starter
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Veteran guard Johnny Davis, delegated to coining off the bench in the Pacers’ first 12 games this season, is making a strong case for keeping him in the starting lineup. Davis, a starter for most of his five years in the National Basketball Association, was sharing playing time with Billy Knight and Don Buse as a reserve at the start of the 1981-82 campaign. He moved into the starting lineup five games ago and has averaged 23.4 points per game since then to take over as the Pacers’ scoring leader Indiana, now 9-8, has scored four victories in those five games with the only loss coming in overtime to Philadelphia. Davis scored 15 of his gamehigh 21 points in the second half Tuesday, sparking the Pacers to a 90-87 victory over the defending world champion Boston Celtics. The 6-foot-2 Davis, who also had to defend against Boston guard Nate Archibald, scored six consecutive points in the fourth quarter, to give Indiana the lead for good. “Sure, I realize John wants to start. It’s only natural,” said McKinney. “But, its no big deal for us who starts. I like to play 10 guys and if they play equally well, they will play pretty much equal time. “Things are going well for us now with Buse and Davis starting in the backcourt. I had my reasons for going the other way and we’re still going to operate with Buse, Knight and Johnny alternating at guard. ” Davis tied the game for the 14th time at 82-82 with 4:36 to
Dad's Demons run circles around son
By JOHN NELSON AP Sports Writer Even at age 37, Coach Tom Meyer of Illinois-Chicago Circle is finding out he's not old enough to beat up on Dad. Tuesday night. Meyer put his team on the court against seventh-ranked DePaul, coached by his father Ray, and took a licking. The Blue Demons beat Chicago Circle 7853 behind the game-high 20 points Terry Cummings and some timely baskets by reserve Bernard Randolph.

In other games involving ranked teams, 12th-ranked Indiana downed No. 19 Notre Dame 69-55, No. 16 Missouri clobbered Alcorn State 82-51 and I7th-ranked Alabama walloped Tennessee-Martin 9464.

Anderson, lUPUI win on free throws
By The Associated Press Coaches will tell you free throws are the key to victory in close games and that was demonstrated in college basketball victories by Anderson and Indiana-Purdue at Indianapolis. Anderson scored its final 13 points from the free throw line Tuesday in a 64-61 defeat of Taylor, while Kim King’s two free throws with 33 seconds to play produced an 86-83 decision over Franklin In other Indiana college basketball Tuesday, Marion outscored Indiana Tech 105-95; Marian defeated Earlham 7364: Bethel routed Fort Wayne Bible 106-51: and John Schelske’s 30 points produced an 85-62 Kalamazoo College decision over Indiana Purdue at Fort Wayne. Anderson, 2-3 for the season, hit 73 percent from the floor in
play, then sank a layup 25 seconds later and completed the spurt by sinking two free throws with 2:26 left. Boston, which had its fivegame winning streak snapped, pulled to within one point twice in the final two minutes before Buse’s layup with 45 seconds left completed the scoring Boston’s final bid to tie the game failed as Larry Bird, who led the Celtics with 16 points, missed a three-point attempt that bounced off the rim twice at the final buzzer Robert Parish scored 15 and pulled down 23 rebounds for the Celtics, who recored a 67-50 advantage off the boards. “We shut down their running game,” said McKinney. “Johnny didn’t allow Archibald to penetrate. That was a key.” Archibald, the quarterback of Boston’s offense, had 15 points and also had eight assists. The loss was only the third in 16 games this season. Boston Coach Bill Fitch wasn’t around to see Bird’s shot come off the rim. He was ejected after picking up two technicals from referee Jake O’ Donnell midway in the third quarter. Fitch received the first technical after stamping his foot and picked up the second and the automatic ejection one second later.
