Pacers leave Blazers behind in OT
By Hank Lowenkron
The Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS — When Port
land left Mark Jackson all alone in
overtime, he made the Trail Blaz
ers pay.
The Indiana guard hit a trio of
3-pointers in the extra session
Thursday night to spark the Pac
ers to a 12 7-119 victory.
“The guys caused my man to ro
tate. I got some good looks. I got
into a rhythm. I was stepping into
them and knocking them down,”
said Jackson, who scored 10 of his
season-high 23 points in the extra
period as the Pacers stretched
their franchise-record home win
ning streak to 25 games.
The Blazers, meanwhile, have
lost three in a row for the first time
this season and four of their last
five games.
Indiana had a chance to win the
game in regulation, getting the ball
inside to Rik Smits. But he was
triple-teamed and tied up with
fourth-tenths of a second to play.
Smits, who had sat out all but
the final 12.2 seconds of the fourth
quarter, made up for the miss in
overtime, scoring six quick points
to give Indiana a 115-108 lead
with 2:29 left in the extra session.
He finished with 22 points, one of
six Pacers to finish in double fig

ures as they overcame a career
high 29-point effort by Portland
reserve Bonzi Wells.
“I was a little tight” going into
overtime, Smits said. “I short
armed a free throw and I remem
bered I’d been sitting for a long
time. I like being in there at the
end. I’m a guy who does things in
bunches. In that kind of situation,
it doesn’t take long to get loose.”
Wells played a career-high 34
minutes, topping his previous
high by eight minutes. He also had
a career-high 11 field goals on just
18 shots.
“Tonight was just my night and
the guys kept on feeding me,” said
Wells, a former high school and
collegiate star in nearby Muncie.
“Coach gave me a big opportunity
tonight. He knew I was cording
home and he gave me some ex
tended minutes. I just wanted to
take advantage of it.”
Portland coach Mike Dunleavy
was impressed.
“It was a super game for Bonzi.
He does a good job of putting the
ball on the floor and making
plays,” Dunleavy said.
Reggie Miller and Chris Mullin,
who made his first start of the sea
son with Jalen Rose out with the
stomach flu, each scored 17 for In
diana. Dale Davis contributed 12
points and 13 rebdunds to the vic
tory.
“We know we’re missing a key
pop [without Rose]. Chris stepped
up,” Jackson said. “That’s how
you win the whole thing, when
guys like that step up and do the
job. It’s a great, great lesson for the
young guys: no matter what hap
pens, keep yourself ready. When
he was called on, he was ready.”
Rasheed Wallace scored 24 for
Portland, and Arvydas Sabonis
added 21 points for the Trail Blaz
ers.
Jackson’s third 3-pointer in the
overtime put Indiana ahead 118
110 and Portland never seriously
challenged after that.
The Pacers raised their home
record against Western Confer
ence teams to 18-0.
The fourth quarter was tight all
the way and Portland led only
once. A 3-pointer by Wells left
Portland trailing 103-100 with
1:51 to go. Sabonis completed a
three-point play to tie the score
with 1:27 remaining.
Davis made one of two free
throws with 1:13 left.
Portland took its final lead on a
short hook shot by Wells with 53
seconds to go. After Travis Best
put Indiana back in front, Wells
tied the game at 106 by hitting the
first of two free throws. But he
missed the second to set up the
play by Smits.
Indiana built an 18-point lead,
55-37, when Best made two free
throws with 5:18 left in the first
half, but then went cold as Port
land went on an 11-1 run.
The Trail Blazers tied the game
twice early in the third quarter,
then fell behind by 10 twice in the
period, which ended with the Pac
ers leading 89-86. Scottie Pippen,
who was scoreless in the first half,
had 10 points in the quarter
Notes: Wallace picked up his
league-leading 25th technical foul
when he protested being called for
his third personal.... Indiana was
just the ninth Portland opponent
to reach 100 points. ... Mullin,
who has seen limited action this
season, left the game late in the
third quarter when he pulled his
right calf muscle and did not re
turn. “I was just getting ready to
jump. I flexed my foot, and it jump
popped,” Mullin said.... Indiana
swept the season series with Port
land. ... Wells’ previous high was
23 points on Jan. 8 against
Phoenix.... Jackson, who had nine
assists, had his previous season
high of 18 on Dec. 30 against Char
lotte.
Wildcats shake up the standings,
beat Stanford men and women
TUCSON, Ariz. — Stanford
can beat just about anybody in the
country—except Arizona.
The ninth-ranked Wildcats
used intense pressure defense and
a balanced, aggressive offense in
the second half and made it a
sweep of No. 2 Stanford 86-81
Thursday night.
Richard Jefferson, who broke
his right-foot in Arizona’s 68-65
victory at Stanford Jan. 8 and was
scoreless in his first two games
back last week, scored 19 points
off the bench for the Wildcats, 13
in the second half.
Michael Wright scored 20 for
Arizona (25-6 overall, 14-3 Pac
10). Jason Gardner, named fresh
man of the year Thursday by the

tion, gave the Cardinal fits with
his quickness and finished with
14 points and seven assists.
Luke Walton added 15 points,
five in the last four minutes, and
handed out 12 assists. Gilbert Are
nas scored 14.
David Moseley scored 14 of his
team’s points in a row in the second
half and led a late run that cut Ari
zona’s 15-point lead to 84-81, that
after Casey Jacobsen’s off-balance 3
pointer with 14 seconds to go.
The Cardinal (25-3,14-3) could
n’t catch the Wildcats to foul them
and Wright broke loose for a wide
open stuff with nine seconds to go
to clinch Arizona’s 29th consecu
tive homecourtPac-10 victory.
Jacobsen scored 20 and Mark
Madsen had 15 points and 10 re
bounds for Stanford.
Arizona, already without 7
foot-1 Loren Woods for four games
with a back injury, lost Woods’
backup, Justin Wessell, with an
ankle injury with 8:02 to play.
Arizona’s victory left the teams
tied for first in the Pac-10 with one
game to go. The Wildcats play
host to California in the regular
season finale on Saturday, while
Stanford is at Arizona State.
If Arizona and Stanford finish
as Pac-10 co-champions, the
Wildcats will get the conference’s
automatic seed by virtue of the
sweep of the Cardinal.
Up 39-37 after scoring the last
seven points of the first half, Ari
zona clamped on the pressure.
Stanford responded with 10
turnovers in the first nine minutes
of the second half.
The Wildcats, meanwhile, went
on a 12-3 run punctuated by Wal
ton’s two free throw's and Arenas’
steal and breakaway layup that
put Arizona ahead 57-44 with
13:38 to play.
Arizona never trailed after scor
ing the last seven of the first half.
Ryan Mendez’s 3-pointer put
the Cardinal up 37-32 with 2:05
left in the half. Gardner, a blur of
activity on offense and defense all
night, started Arizona’s late first
half run with a layup, then drew
an offensive foul against Stan
ford’s Michael McDonald.
’Cat women shock Cardinal
STANFORD, Calif. — Reshea
Bristol and Monika Crank, held to
only a pair of baskets between
them in the first 20 minutes, came
alive in the second half to score
13 apiece and lead No. 22 Ari
zona over Stanford 79-72 on
Thursday.
The Wildcats (23-6) moved into
a tie with the Cardinal for second
place in the Pacific 10 Confer
ence, each with 12-5 records.
Stanford, trying to record its 12th
20-win season in the last 13 years,
fell to 19-8 on the season.
Stanford took a 36-32 lead with
16:18 left with a layin by Milena
Flores before the Wildcats took
off on a decisive 17-5 run.
Crank scored eight of her
points during that run, including
a pair of 3-pointers. Bristol
capped the run with a pair of free
throws to give Arizona a 49-41
lead with 10:47 left. She added
six more points in the next three
minutes, helping to stretch the
lead to 58-49 with 6:58 left.
Stanford’s shoot-and-foul strat
egy late in the game didn’t work, •
and the Cardinal couldn’t get
closer than six points in the last
five minutes.
Arizona had a big advantage at
the free throw line, hitting 21 of
30 to Stanford’s 10 of 14. Both
teams shot 47 percent from the
field. Stanford hit 10 of 27 from
three-point range, but it wasn’t
enough.
Another key for the Wildcats
was their 40-25 domination in re
bounding.
Bristol and Crank each finished
with 15 points, Angela Lackey
added 14 points and eight re
bounds and Elizabeth Pickney
had 10 points and nine boards for
Arizona.
Jamie Carey, Carolyn Moos and
Flores each had 15 for Stanford,
which also got 12 from Lauren St.
Clair.
