B U S IN E S S directory “M IS S IO N A R Y G O S P E L S IN G E R ” (AP) — The last thing the reeling Detroit Pistons needed was a former player scoring a career high against them. Bonzi Wells scored 37 points Sunday night, leading the Port land Trail Blazers to a 103-86 victory over Detroit and ex tending the Pistons’ losing streak to seven games. Wells took plenty o f pleasure from adding to the Pistons’ woes. “It feels good, especially against the team that drafted me and let me go,” Wells said. “You definitely want to let a team know who gave up on you that you can play in this league." The Blazers have won four in a row. Wells was at the center o f the latest victory, scoring 18 points in the third quarter to help the Blazers pull away. But it w asn’t just his offense that impressed teammate Scot tie Pippen. “He had a great game offen sively, he did a lot o f good things S P R IN G out there,” Pippen said. “ De fensively, his offense kind o f overshadowed what he did de fensively. He was very active. And he had a tough task, guard- ingCorliss Williamson.” Guarding the Pistons hasn’t been such a difficult job re cently. They finished their West Coast trip 0-5.

Tw o sloppy bogeys and a few clutch birdies by Toms brought high drama to La Costa. Woods, who never trailed, finally closed him out w hen Tom s took four shots to reach the 17th green and W oods saved par from a bunker, holing a 3-foot putt. “He never real ly got all the momentum,” W oods said after a 2-and-l victory. “He got a lot o f it, but not all o f it.” Woods won for the 36th time on the PGA Tour and earned $ 1,050,000. Since return ing from his two-month break for knee surgery, he has won twice and tied for fifth in three tournaments. pkele fifís » bile Jet R ill! s e i-t a g - lE ie p h e n e >•>-814-1910 lax
