It was Clyde D rexler’ s special night. The man couldn’ t do anything wrong on Sunday. By halftim e Drex ler had 29 points! To say he couldn’ t miss would not be much o f an over statement. He was 10 fo r 13 from the field, and six fo r seven at the charity line. The three pointers were falling too. He popped three long ones! By the time the h alf tim e buzzer blew, Clyde had already outscored his season per game average o f 23.5, by pounding in 29 points. D rexler ended up the night w ith 48 points. That equals his January 22nd, 1989 performance against New York. Its only two short o f his all-tim e high scoring game against Sacramento. That game on January 6th 1989 had 2 We can offer your FREE: Clothing Allowance Job Placement GED/High School Diploma Advanced College Training Room & board Medical/Dental Care Living allowance/ savings Driver’s Education BY BILL BARBER You can always count on Clyde Drexler to give you the straight scoop on the Portland Trailblazer situation. He doesn’t bob and weave. On or o ff the court, Clyde just drives straight to the hoop w ith the truth. “ The W a rri ors played w ell, but we helped them a lo t.” The Blazers d id n ’t really need to give Golden State much help. They came into Portland leading the N B A in scoring. Clyde said, “ We have not played w ell this season, except for a few games. O ur concentration comes and goes.” The Blazers played a good game for 46 minutes. Unfortunately, the game lasted 48 minutes. “ W e’ ve got to make ourselves concentrate more,” Drexler continued. “ W e’re not thinking as a team. We made some plays, that I could only describe as boneheaded, and its hard to live with. The San Antonio game was not “ hard to live w ith .” The Spurs went down B ig Time... 111-116. The Blaz ers came out hot! They h it four o f the first five from the field. When the team downed the first nine straight free throws, the fans and the San A nto nio Spurs knew they were in for a »• Y.v • •.‘A V » * , » . photo by Veronica Green overtime periods. G e off Petrie twice in his career scored 51 points. Petrie, the Trailblazers all-tim e one game scoring leader stopped by the locker room after the game. Clyde was three deep in reporters. It was his night. Clyde Drexler just seems to be the kind o f player who makes things happen when they need to be done. The bench was not going to be on top o f their game Sunday, as it turned out. They were outscored 41 to 18. Their concentration was probably broken down a little , because like the crowd, it was hard to see anything but Drex le r’ s performance. The defense from the bench d id a good jo b , even i f they didn’ t score a lot. C lif f Robinsin must have gone 40" vertical on his first blocked shot. Robert “ Big Easy” Pack was his usual smothering self. The .'/ri1?/: hustle that the rookie exhibits must really come as an unpleasant surprise to some o f the opposing players who are complacent to ju s t plaly at the fame and collect a paycheck. No wonder this town is so “ Pack man” crazy. The Blazers are 8-5 on the season now that they avenged their 119-93 setback in San Antonio on November 6th. Portland is now an even 5-5 against Western conference teams. There are three games left in this, the longest homestand o f the season. The w in Sunday night assured the Blazers o f th e irl4 th consecutive month w ith a w inning record. Clyde Drexler, had his night Sun day night. That is the kind o f night that inspires the fans. It w ill undoubtedly inspire the rest o f the team too. You can always count on Clyde. -’7 ¡ >1 Call 229-5366 or 1 -800-344-4349 < L«. tí, Toll Free in Oregon ityaltey A rt A ssociiition Shop at Just James T h e H ungry A rtist Sale “ You Might Not Find What You Want But You Will Want What You Find” Novem ber 8 llirouqli I7tli at I lie -new location- V aliev A rt ( ja lle r y 1512 ne Broadway Portland, Oregon 97232 287-7230 2022 M a in S tr e e t F o rest (.»rove, O r e g o n .
