Portland embarrasses Jazz
By Landon Hall
The Associated Press
PORTLAND — In the end, all
the Utah Jazz were playing for
was their dignity. And there
wasn’t much left of that.
The Jazz certainly don’t have
much hope left, not after their
103-85 loss to the Portland Trail
Blazers on Tuesday night, which
left
Utah
down
2-0 and
wondering if it can win even one
game in this best-of-seven series.
Game 3 is Thursday night in
Salt Lake City.
Steve Smith scored 11 of his
19 points in the third quarter,
and five of his teammates scored
in double figures as the Blazers
jumped to an early lead and
squelched any hope of Utah
coming back from its 94-75 loss
in Game 1.
Karl Malone was held to just
15 points, barely half of his play
off average this season. Yet, his
total actually led the Jazz. Bryon
Russell had 12 points.
Malone, showing no ill effects
from a left knee injury Sunday,
got little help from his team
mates for the second straight
game. The rest of Utah’s starters
scored just 25 points, two less
than Sunday.
A hook by Jermaine O’Neal,
playing his first minutes of the
playoffs, made it 93-63 with 7:37
to go. The lead reached as high
as 33.
Only a fourtlf-quarter flurry by
the Jazz reserves kept this loss
from ranking among Utah’s most
lopsided ever in the playoffs, al
though it didn’t come close to its
96-54 defeat by the Chicago
Bulls in Game 3 of the 1998 Fi
nals.
After Sunday’s loss, Utah
needed a quick start, and it did
n’t come. The Jazz committed
two turnovers on their first three
possessions and were outscored
13-6 in the last half of the peri
od.
Rasheed Wallace hit a long
jumper, and Scottie Pippen fol
lowed with a 3-pointer to give
the Blazers a 20-12 lead. Wallace
hit a short turnaround jumper,
then followed his own miss as
Malone flopped on the floor for a
24-14 lead.
Utah, outscored 29-14 in the
fourth quarter of Game 1, was
outscored 24-16 in the first Tues
day night.
And it only got worse for the
Jazz after that.
The Blazers’ reserves dominat
ed the second period as Greg An
thony and Detlef Schrempf com
bined for 19 points, matching
the entire Jazz team’s output.
Anthony schooled John Stock
ton at both ends of the floor dur
ing a key 10-0 run. First, Antho
ny hit a 1'7-footer, got fouled by
Stockton and converted the free
throw to make it 34-22.
On the next possession, Stock
ton was stripped of the ball by
Anthony, who then hit a short
running jumper. After the Jazz
let the shot clock run out, An
thony got fouled by Stockton
and made both free throws.
Schrempf made a 3-pointer to
cap the run and extend the lead
to 41-22 with 5:08 left. Anthony
later hit a 3-pointer, and Smith
finished the Blazers’ 32-point
quarter with a long jumper for a
56-35 halftime lead.
The Jazz briefly came to life in
the third, cutting it to 15 on a 19
foot jumper by Stockton. But Da
mon Stoudamire hit a midrange
shot and, after Malone lost the
ball, drove for a layup to build
the lead to 66-45.
Smith, who had 11 points in
the quarter, hit a 3-pointer with
33.8 seconds left to make it a
laugher at 80-55.
Notes: Utah has led for just
three minutes and 28 seconds in
the series, all early in the first
quarter.... The Blazers scored 27
points off 17 Jazz turnovers.
Utah got 11 points off 18 Port
land turnovers. ... Blazers re

Knicks get physical, go up 2-0
By Steven Wine
The Associated Press
MIAMI — Once again, the
New York Knicks negated the
Miami Heat’s homecourt advan
tage.
In a sloppy game with more
slapstick than a Broadway farce,
the Knicks beat the Heat 82-76
Tuesday to even the best-of-sev
en series at 1-1.
The teams have met in the
playoffs the past four years,
splitting the first two games in
Miami eyery time. New York
went on to eliminate the Heat
the past two seasons.
Heat coach Pat Riley noted
that his players once again
squandered the homecourt edge
they worked for 82 regular-sea
son games to earn.
“You work that hard, and we
gave it all back in one two-hour
stand,” Riley said.
Game 3 will be Friday at
Madison Square Garden.
The Knicks evened the series
despite plenty of ugly moments.
Marcus Camby missed a dunk.
Patrick Ewing hit the side of the
backboard with a jumper. Cam
by and Kurt Thomas wrestled
each other for a rebound and
dropped the ball out of bounds.
Somehow, New York still
built an 18-point lead midway
through the fourth quarter, then
withstood a late Miami charge.
The Heat shot just 34 percent,
tying a franchise playoff low,
and they missed 14 of 33 free
throws, including seven in a
row in the first half.
“Our free-throw defense was
outstanding,” Knicks coach Jeff
Van Gundy joked.
“It was an ugly game out
there,” said Jamal Mashburn,
who led Miami with 25 points.
“We’ve got to make free throws.
That probably would have
bailed us out.”
The Knicks shot 26 percent in
the first half and still led by
four. They finally pulled away
in the third quarter.
“The rock wasn’t going in the
hole,” Van Gundy said. “That
was some bad shooting in that
first half.”
Ewing and Charlie Ward had
13 points each for the Knicks,
who had six players in double
figures.
“Charlie hit some big shots
for them,” Heat forward P.J.
Brown said. “He was the x-fac
tor. He deserves a lot of credit
for their win.”
Ward sank a pair of 3-pointers
and had six rebounds and no
turnovers in 37 minutes.
“I’m not a superstar. I don’t
get a lot of press,” he said. “But
you need guys to help pull a
d We wanted this game
more than anything We
showed that, even
though we didn’t play
well offensively We got
the job done at the defen
sive end.

team together. I’ve been trying
to do that since I got here.”
Alonzo Mourning had 17
points, 17 rebounds and four
blocks for Miami. Tim Hard
away, playing with a sore left
foot, had 13 points and three as
sists in 30 minutes.
“It was sort of a surreal
game,” Riley said. “We re
bounded and played well
enough defensively, but offen
sively we were horrendous. In
stead of taking the ball strong to
the basket, we settled for long
jumpers and that hope game we
get into at times.”
As the Knicks promised,
Game 2 was more physical than
the first game. There were 60
fouls, compared with 40 Sun
day when Miami won 87-83.
“We wanted this game more
than anything,” Knicks guard
Latrell Sprewell said. “We
showed that, even though we
didn’t play well offensively. We
got the job done at the defensive
end.”
Ewing, Sprewell and Allan
Houston — New York’s leading
scorers this season — were a
combined 3-for-24 in the first
half. Sprewell finished 2-for-13
and Houston 3-for-14.
Houston was l-for-10 before
dunking a follow, and the
Knicks made their next three
shots for a 48-40 lead.
After Miami closed to 51-50
late in the third period, New
York went on a 21-4 run. Three
pointers by Ward and Chris
Childs sparked the spurt that
gave the Knicks a 72-54 lead
with seven minutes to go.
Miami staged a 13-2 run to
close to 78-67 with 2 1/2 min
utes left, but Ewing hit a follow
and two free throws to clinch
the win.
The Heat held their last lead
at 13-12 before New York
scored 11 consecutive points.
“Very frustrating,” Brown
said. “Everybody is going to go
home with a bad taste in their
mouth. We definitely should
have won and gone up 2-0.
Would have, could have, should
have.”
Notes: Say Again? Dept.: Said
Heat coach Pat Riley before the
game, “The past is dead. The fu
ture is tonight for the present
moment.” ... Heat reserve for
ward Otis Thorpe came into the
game with a career field-goal
percentage of .580 in the play
offs, second in NBA history
only to James Donaldson’s .627.
... The Knicks won for the first
time in four games at new
American Airlines Arena. The
Heat lost at home for only the
tlprd time in their past 28 home
games. ... Miami also shot 34
percent in a loss to Chicago on
May 22,1997.
