3 games left in the semis with the Trenton Tigers already lying in wait...
and after today..
( 2- 3) Denver Rockets 40 27 33 20 - 120 (Michael Jordan 25)
( 3- 2) New York Rens 30 34 30 34 - 128 (Clyde Drexler 30)
Glad to see one New York team still fighting in the playoffs (shame it's the wrong one eh Stan). The Rens continue to fight on against Jordan's mighty Rockets and take the edge in the series. Drexler was the stand-out star for NY and the battle between Drexler and Jordan was entertaining to boot with the Rocket's shooting guard having the better of the contest for three quarters before cooling in the fourth. Not so for the Glide as the Rens roll with the crowd and come from 6 down to win by 8 sending the crowd into a frenzy. 7 game series are quite fashionable these days and unless the Rens can pull a stunner out the bag it looks like this one is going the distance...
( 3- 2) LA Lakers 33 26 28 21 - 108 (David Robinson 27)
( 2- 3) Milwaukee Bucks 36 30 32 22 - 120 (Amare Stoudemire 34)
The mighty Bucks avoid elimination in the first game they've had to face this season against the wall. As they have all season they've ridden the coat-tails of Stud - he 34 points today topping all scorers and Penny was sweet as they hold off the oh-so-strong Lakers for this game at least. Game 6 is the biggie - a win by the Bucks and I'm thinking they'll take it in 7 so it's a must win for the Lakers; of course if they don't a game 7 can belong to anyone. Bucks haven't found a way to get by LA in LA yet.. tomorrow is the biggie... Robinson was big today - it's Timmy Duncan the Lakers need on fire tomorrow...
( 2- 3) Cincinnati Roya 31 22 27 19 - 99 (Magic Johnson 20)
( 3- 2) Akron Firestone 26 30 31 29 - 116 (George Mikan 25)
Finally after 5 games a home team wins in this series - but as yesterday's scribe noted the series has had a mighty momentum shift. First two games Cincy was all over the Stones but suddenly they are on the ropes - the return of Jerry West has changed the complexion of the series and unless Cincy can find a way to stop him this is over tomorrow...
