Blazers best
in the West
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) —
The Portland Trail Blazers took
a road that few teams crossed
ail season to advance to the
NBA Finals.
"I don't think anyone
thought we could win here
with the record they huvo. It
was just a tremendous win for
us,” Portland coach Kick Adel
man said after the Trait Blazers
won the Western Conference fi
nals 4-2 with a 105-97 victory
over Utah Thursday night.
For the Jazz. It was only thuir
fifth loss at the Delta Center in
50 games, and their First defeat
in nine playoff games at home
"We didn't want to have to
go track to Portland (for (lame
7) because we knew they could
beat us there," Adelman said.
"We went into the fourth quur
ter knowing it would have to be
our best quarter of the year."
It may have been.
The Blazers used a smother
ing defense to hold Utah offen
sive mainstay Karl Malone to
just 2 points in the final 12
minutes The Jazz, who shot
nearly 53 percent from the field
in the first half, made just 9 of
40 shots in the second half,
22 5 percent
Clyde Drexler who along
with Jerome Kersey and Terry
Porter scored 1H points for the
Trail Blazers - looked forward
to playing lor the NBA crown
“Every player's dream is to
win an NBA championship,"
he said We're playing well
right now We made it to the Fi
nals once again and it's a fan
tastic feeling."
Utah coach jerry Sloan said
he had "no excuses," just
praise for the Trail Blazers
"Portland is a tough team."
he said "They deserved to win.
I thought we played hard We
got beat by a bolter team. They
never let up."
The victory moves Portland
into the NBA Finals for the sec
ond time in three years against
the winner of the Chicago
Cleveland series that the de
fending champion Bulls lead
3-2.
