Trail Blazers trample Bulls
By Landon Hall
The Associated Press
PORTLAND, Ore. — Arvydas
Sabonis scored 16 of his season
high 23 points in the fourth quarter
as the Portland Trail Blazers ex
tended the Chicago Bulls’ losing
streak to 12 with a 92-81 victory
Tuesday night.
Ron Mercer scored 22 despite the
flu, and Elton Brand added 18
points and 12 rebounds for the
Bulls, who started a five-game trip
by falling to 2-21 on the road.
Steve Smith added 18 points to
lead a surge by the Portland re
serves in the final period. After an
alley-oop dunk by Rasheed Wal
lace to start the fourth quarter and a
jumper by Bonzi Wells, the bench
players scored the next 23 points.
Sabonis had missed three
straight games due to back spasms,
and he picked up two fouls in his
first four minutes. But with the
Blazers struggling on offense, his
teammates found him again and
again underneath.
Portland came back from eight
points down in the third quarter to
take a 59-57 lead entering the fourth.
A jumper by Brand cut it to 67-66
with 8:03 left, but Sabonis made a re
verse layup and got fouled.
A reverse layup by Brad Miller
pulled Chicago within 78-74 with
5:07 left, but Sabonis responded
with a jumper after a steal by Smith.
Smith then drove for a layup and
Sabonis scored from inside to make
it a 10-point lead with 3:45 left.
Wallace, named a reserve to the
West All-Star team earlier in the
day, was held to 14 points, and
coach Mike Dunleavy pulled him
with 9:41 to play after he lost a ball
out of bounds.
The Blazers got Sabonis back just
in time. Earlier Tuesday, the team
announced that Scottie Pippen had
undergone surgery to remove a
bone chip from his sore right elbow
and would be out indefinitely.
Exactly five years earlier, on Jan.
30, 1996, Pippen had 28 points to
lead the Bulls past Houston to seal a
perfect 14-0 record in January. This
season’s Chicago team went 1-13
for the month.
Wallace opened the third quarter
with a dunk, but the Blazers went
the next 6:15 without a basket, re
calling their brutal 58-point effort
at Cleveland last week.
A reverse layup by Brand, fol
lowed by his fallaway jump shot
and Mercer’s fastbreak jumper, put
the Bulls ahead 57-49, bringing
boos from the Rose Garden crowd.
Portland then closed the period
with a 10-0 run, capped by Smith’s
layup off a rebound by Wells.
Portland’s sloppy play made the
game competitive from the start. The
Blazers committed seven turnovers
in the first 61/2 minutes of the next
period, but Chicago could only
outscore them 6-3. A 3-pointer by
Hoiberg made it 35-34, but the Blaz
ers went on a 10-2 run, all on long
jumpers and free throws.
Golf brief
UO men’s golf finishes
ahead of 11 teams
Paced by junior Aaron Byers’
tied-for-fifth-place individual fin
ish, the Oregon men’s golf team
completed the Ping-Arizona Inter
collegiate tournament Tuesday in
ninth place.
The Ducks’ three-round score of
22-over-par 874 placed them one
stroke behind the host No. 10 Ari
zona Wildcats and one stroke
ahead of in-state rival Oregon
State.
No. 16 Southern California ex
tended its lead from Monday’s
play and captured the 20-team
tournament with a 19-under-par
833 — 22 strokes ahead of second
place California. USC was led by
Alex Kuyumjian, who captured
the individual title with a 7-under
par 206.
The two-day tourney was held
at The Raven at Sabino Springs in
Tucson, Ariz., a 6,776 yard, par-71
course.
Basketball
continued from page 5
Ducks are again on top of the con
ference in attendance, bringing in
4,799 fans each game.
For the Jan. 13 game against
Stanford, the Ducks attracted a
Pac-10 season-high 7,602 people.
Statin’ it up
Statistically, Oregon is among
the Pac-10 leaders in most of the
major categories.
The Ducks rank first in scoring
defense (allowing 58.1 ppg), first
in field-goal percentage (.467),
first in field-goal percentage de
fense (.370) and first in three
point percentage defense (.278).
Oregon held UCLA to a season
best 22 percent Saturday, the
worst shooting performance in
the Pac-10 this year.

Horoscope by Linda C. Black
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 31). You're
putting down roots, and it's about time. A goal
you've been after for ages can finally be yours.
You've got the good ideas in February, but
something's missing. Ask for the money you'll
need in March and by May you should be
ready. Have your plan all worked out and doing
it will be easy. Then celebrate in June by in
dulging your fantasies. A labor of love takes up
most of July. Make time to gel things done right
in August. Others fund your dreams in Septem
ber, if you approach them properly. Career
stresses October, but you can get through it. Ac
cept your friend's kudos in December.
To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10
is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Today is a 6
Even if you can't get exactly what you want,
you won't fly off the handle. You'll be patient,
calm and thoughtful instead. That could actual
ly lead to greater rewards. So go ahead and bite
your tongue, and don't feel ashamed about it.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Today is a 6. You
have new determination, and you're probably
right. Somebody else's fabulous idea could go
up in smoke. The others don't know something
you learned long ago from experience. Give
them a break and tell tliem, if they're nice.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21); Today is a 6 ;
Travel is not a good idea right now, even though
your friends are enticing you to try something
new and exciting. It may not be quite as won
derful as it looks in the photographs. This time,
the fantasy may be better than the reality.
CANCER (June 22-July 22) Today is a 7 ;
Working or shopping could cause a delay. You
may be late for a get-together with friends. You
can usually use your cellular phone to call if
you get stuck in traffic. Technical difficulties
could interfere, however.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22); Today is a 6; You'd be
wise to simply hold your position. Others will
be pushing and shoving, trying to get you to
change. Don't let them make you do something
you wouldn't have done otherwise. Just take a
stand and hold onto it.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22); Today is a 7; You
could finally get through to your sweetheart.
You haven't seen that gleam of comprehension
in your loved one's eyes, but you haven't used
an example to which the other person can re
late. That makes all the difference.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct 22); Today is a 7; Your
idealistic, romantic bubble may burst. You may
realize you don't have enough money to do
what you'd like. The money is out there. You'll
have to take time away from billing and cooing
in order to get it.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21); Today is a 6;
There's a bit of controversy between you and
your mate. You need to talk things out. Don't
just dummy up because your feelings are hurl.
If all else fails, make a list and just hand it over.
Using "please," and "thank you."
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21); Today is a
7; You're full of new ideas. Don't expect your
co-workers to go along with your innovations
immediately, however. The ml you find so con
fining could be the path of least resistance for
them. Be patient and respectful.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19); Today is a 6;
Your mind's on love today, not money. But it
looks like you need to pay somebody who's tak
en over part of your job. When you've generated
a little more time, you can spend it on romance.
Don't lie; that will only make matters worse.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18); Today is a 7;
You need to get all the test questions right be
fore you can get that A-plus. Also do the extra
credit. This works in your career and domestic
relationships, too. You have to be truly empa
thetic. Sure it takes more time, but nobody said
this would be easy.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20); Today is a 7;
You're getting smarter. It's getting easier to
learn, too. So instead of getting bounced around
like flotsam in the tide, build yourself a little
boat with a keel and a redder and a sail. Get
yourself some control over your situation.
