RIORDAN and starter Bill Brad- ley, both of whom were scoreless during the first half, combined for 28 points after intermission as the Knicks overcame a nine-point de- ficit in the second half. With Wes Unseld c ontrolling the boards, and Gus Johnson scoring 20 points, Baltimore man- aged a 51-48 lead at halftime and upped it to 71-64 as Earl Monroe became hot from the field and rookie Fred Carter sparked Balti- more with his hustling play. A stuffshot by Willis Reed, the NBA's most valuable player, put New York ahead for keeps at 87- 86, but the Bullets remained on- ly one point behind at 94-93 be-' fore a six-point streak by the Knicks put the game out of reach. WALT FRAZIER was credited with six assists while scoring 19 points for the Knicks and Dick Barnett also fed his teammates on six ;occasions. The victory was the twelfth in the last 13 games against Balti- more for the Knicks and their sixth straight in NBA playoff ac- tion dating back to last season's four-game sweep. The Bullets who have lost 11 consecutive playoff games since 1965, overcame a seven-point defi- cit in the second period after blowing an eight-point lead in the first quarter. Baltimore failed to take ad- vantage of foul situations in the second and third periods. THE BULLETS had a 5-0 ad- vantage in fouls with 5:40 remain- ing in the second quarter, but did not attempt another free, throw the rest of the half. New' York, meanwhile, made two field, goals while the Baltimore bench yelled encouragement for deliber- ate fouls, sank one free throw and then Frazier connected on a 3- point play. With a 5-1 foul advantage in the third period, Baltimore again frittered away its chances and didn't capitalize, on its oppor- tunity. Johnson, who made only eight points in the series opener, fin- ished with 28 points.

Cuningham, the NBA's third;- highest scorer in the regular sea- son, had a field day after Greg Smith, the Buck who guards him best, got into early foul trouble with four in the first quarter. IT WAS evident the 76ers had changed their game plan from defense to offense after they dropped the first game of the ucks series Wednesday night 125-118. Hal Greer added 24 points, in- cluding 18 in the first half, as Philadelphia stepped out to a 63- 57 lead at intermission.

Lew Alcindor scored 33 points to lead the Bucks and Bob Dan- dridge added 22. This game, like the first, was played in Madison because of the unavailability of the Bucks' home court in Milwaukee. The next two will be in Philadelphia, and the fifth in Madison. PHILADELPHIA ran up a 32-23 lead after the first quarter as Wally Jones, who finished with 12, scored 10 points. The 76ers' margin widened to 86-77at the end of three quarters.
