Atlanta, Miami win, move on
■ PLAYOFFS: After trailing
2-1, Atlanta wins the last two
games to advance
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — Dikembe Mu
tombo showed why he’s the NBA
defensive player of the year, and
the Atlanta Hawks moved on in
the playoffs Sunday with an 84
79 victory over the Detroit Pis
tons.
The Hawks, who trailed 2-1 in
the best-of-5 series, won the final
two games to earn a meeting with
the defending NBA champion
Chicago Bulls in the second
round. Game 1 is Tuesday night
at the United Center.
Mutombo, who was a dominat
ing inside force for the Hawks
throughout the series, finished
off the Pistons with two brilliant
defensive plays against Grant
Hill.
With the score tied at 77, Hill
drove the baseline for a dunk, but
the shot was deflected away by
Mutombo while the Detroit star
dangled from the rim. Atlanta ran
the other way and Christian Laet
tner hit a 17-footer as the 24-sec
ond clock expired to put the
Hawks ahead to stay, 79-77 with
1:14 remaining.
But Mutombo wasn’t through.
Hill drove around him at the foul
.line and headed
t 33 & 7
fry / W lu U1C Aluup iry
M\a11LLI ing to pull the
Pistons even,
but Atlanta’s 7
foot-2 center caught Hill from be
hind and got a hand on the shot.
Steve Smith then made a 3
pointer from deep in the left cor
ner as he was falling out of
bounds with 41.7 seconds to go.
Detroit, which shot only 39.5
percent from the field, cut the
gap to 82-79 and had a final
chance to tie, but Terry Mills’ 3
pointer from the top of the key
missed badly with about five sec
onds to go. Smith then hit two
free throws with 0.4 seconds left
for the final margin.
Laettner led the Hawks with 23
points, but Mutombo was a force
at both ends of the court. He had
17 points, nine rebounds and six
blocks.
Hill led the Pistons with 21
points but shot only 9-of-24 try
ing to carry the offensive load.
Detroit even sent in Rick Mahom
in an attempt to counter Mu
tombo’s size, but about all the 38
year-old could do was foul.
Miami 91, Orlando 83
MIAMI — The Miami Heat
didn’t wilt when the Orlando
Magic wouldn’t quit.
Thanks to two clutch baskets
by Tim Hardaway, Miami with
stood one last comeback by the
resilient Magic, holding on for a
91-83 victory Sunday in the de
ciding fifth game of their first
round playoff series.
Orlando scored 10 consecutive
points midway through the
fourth quarter and reduced a 17
point deficit to three. But Hard
away shook off a shooting slump
to hit two baskets — an off-bal
ance 20-footer and a 3-pointer
from 24 feet — in the final 43 sec
onds to eliminate the Magic.
Track: Buciarski wins pole vault at Texas

2:10.61 third-place performance.
Sutherland said she liked the
way she handled the fast pace of
the first 600 meters, but at the
start of the race she had to fight to
keep up.
“It just really surprised me be
cause I thought I was going out
hard and everyone was all the
way ahead of me,” she said.
The Ducks had some help
from Gina DeWitt, a post-colle
gian 400-meter runner, who vol
unteered to set a fast 400 pace be
fore dropping out of the race.
A Pac-10 qualifying jump
came from Nonglack Somsanith,
who turned in a slightly wind
aided but legal jump of 39-3. Her
previous best was 38-9 1/2.
Freshman javelin thrower
Karis Howell moved up further
on the NCAA provisional list
with a personal best of 162-7 to
win the event.
Heinonen said he likes the
consistency discus thrower Heidi
Fisk has shown this season. Two
weeks ago Fisk set a personal
best of 158-0 and reaffirmed her
standing with her performance of
152-7 Saturday.
“Heidi Fisk showed that she
has reached a new level with
throwing 152-7,” Heinonen said.
On the men’s side, while most
57 W. BROADWAY 687-0139
of the team was taking it easy at
the All-Comer’s Meet, Chris Nel
son led six Ducks at the Texas In
vitational in Austin, Texas with a
season best in the high jump. The
Ducks went to Texas looking for
big marks, and for the most part
they were successful.
Nelson cleared 7-3 1/4 in fin
ishing second behind Charles
Austin, the 1996 Olympic gold
medalist who won with a meet
record 7-7 1/4. Nelson’s jump
was 1/4 inch better than his pre
vious best of 7-3 at last week’s
Drake Relays.
Piotr Buciarski regained his
winning touch in the pole vault
by clearing 17-0 3/4. Southwest
Texas’ Brad Metting and Angelo
State’s J.J. Miller also cleared that
height but finished second and
third as a result of more total
misses.
Continuing the Ducks’ success
in Texas, Jody Mortimore
notched a personal best by 1/2
inch with a wind-aided 24-9 3/4
to finish second behind Angelo
State’s Darrin Session.
Gregg Bleakney placed third in
the triple jump with a leap of 48
2, while Scott Kolenic placed
third in the 800 and Nat Johnson
was seventh in the long jump.
Back home in the All-Comers
Meet, the Ducks were gearing up
for the season’s stretch run but
also had some impressive perfor
mances along the way.
“There have been some good
results and some that are pretty
average,” head coach Bill
Dellinger said. “But then again
it’s not much of a meet. The one
that counts is in a couple of
weeks, but I am real happy with
Tom Newman and what he did.”
Newman was impressive for
the Ducks, notching a personal
best 3:57.18 in the 1,500-meter
run and a personal best 1:52.61
in the 800.
Other running highlights came
from Will Dreissen, who set a
personal record of 48.53 in the
400, and Micah Davis, who
turned in a season best 3:51.32 in
the 1,500.
In the field events, Ryan Cole
continued his mid-season surge
by winning the shot put and dis
cus. Jeremy Robinson finished
second in the hammer, and
David Ovall placed second in the
javelin.
“It was just kind of a workout
day in preparation for next
week,” Dellinger said.
The Oregon men’s and
women’s teams will both take on
Washington in their final dual
meets of the season Saturday at
Hayward Field.
