Hawks fly past the Blazers PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Reserve iorwarii Cliff latvingston stepped in for ailing all-star Dominique Wilkins and scored a game-high 25 points to lead the Atlanta Hawks to a 110 101 NBA victory over the Portland Trail Blazers Sunday, It was the Blazers’ sixth straight loss and ninth in their last 10 games. While the Hawks played well without Wilkins, the NBA's third-leading scorer, Portland obviously missed center Sam Bowie, again b« n chod by a bruise on his left leg. Wilkins sprained his left knee Friday night against the lm Angeles inkers, but the Atlanta front line Sunday accounted for 78 of the Hawks' 110 points without him. Willis scored 21 points for Atlanta and 7.-foot rookie center Jon Koncak came off the bench to score 18. Kiki Vandeweghe led Portland with 21 points, while guards Jim Paxson and Steve Colter each scored 18. . • '. • •> Portland led 28-25 after one quarter, but Atlanta started the second period with.an H-b run and never was header! again. • ■ ° The Blazers got within 52-51 in the third quarter before the 7-.foot Willis and 8-10 reserve forward Scott .Hastings asserted themselves in side to push Atlanta ahead 82-53 midway through the period. Portland got. no.closer than se,ven the rest of the way. '• /' • . ’ ' Atlanta Coach Mike Pratello said, “I thought we did a really good job holding them off the of fensive boards and keeping them on the perimeter.” "Basketball is not wrestling and not track and field," Fratello said. "It is a team game. The difference between how we are doing this year and last has to do with how we've jelled as a cohesive team. Winning on the road against a good team like Portland, after having learned you've lost your most dominating player, has got to be just pure guts." "This win will carry over to the rest of the season and hopefully into the playoffs," he added. "There's a fine line between walking the ball up the. Court every time and taking fast breaks when you have the.opportunity," Fratello said'. "If yyy don't run at all. you're iri trouble. But if you run too much, and end .up with poor percen tage shots, yqu are playing right into Portland's . Hands. Portland's very .quick and they'll get you on the break if you pull the trigger too.fast." ' Coach-jack -Ramsay, whose.
