The Tigers have been fortunate since

the nation, the Tigers put together the

the victory until Norm Van Lier
scored a basket with 30 seconds
left.
The Bulls snapped an 8-8 tie
early in the first quarter and
after taking a 12-10 lead, they
scored the next 16 points while
Detroit was held scoreless for
nearly six minutes.
BOB LANIER broke the spell
with a basket with 1:02 left in
the period but Chicago manag-
ed a 28-14 lead at the quarrter.
The Bulls continued to streak
in the second period with Love
getting a hot hand and moved
to a 45-20 advantage pefore De-
troit began hitting back.
Lanier and Dave Bing helped
the Pistons cut the lead to 53-40
before Jerry Sloan and Love
scored the final two baskets of
the first half, giving Chicago a
57-40 lead.
THE PISTONS began their be-
lated drive in the third quarter
with Lanier and Bing, George
Trapp and Curtis Rowe show-
ing the way while the Bulls
went cold and failed to score in
a four and a half minute span.
Detroit pulled to within eight
points at 71-63 before Van Lier
hit two successive baskets in
the final eight seconds of the
third period to give Chicago a
75-63 lead.
T ove, who had gone some 13
minutes between baskets, scored
seven points in one spree early
in the fourth quarter to give the
Bulls what appeared to be a com-
fortable 88-74 lead with 7:27 left.
But the Pistons roared back
and kept whittling away until
baskets by Ford and Bing cut
the margin to 96-94 with 51 sec-
onds to play. Then Van Lier hit
his clinching basket.

victory over the Atlanta Flames
yesterday in a first-round National
Hockey League Stanley Cup play-I

The 31-year-old Dornhoefer, a
nine-year N F L veteran who has
been handicapped with injuries
much of the season, opened the
scoring with four seconds left in
the first period.
Dornhoefer took a spill and when
no penalty was called, he flipped
the puck to the right board behind
the Flames' net. Terry Crisp dug
it out and passed to Dornhoefer,
who had regained his feet and
skated in front of the Atlanta goal.
He slapped it past goalie Bill Myre
for a 1-0 Philadelphia lead.
In the second period,Bladon,
a second-year skater, scored on
a power play from about seven
feet out at 13:36.
The Flames were a man dwn

moved out of a corner, faked past
Atlanta's Noel Price and fed to
Bladon who was charging across
from the right side. He beat Myre
to make it 2-0.
The Flyers made it 3-0 at 8:59
of the third period when Kind-
rachuk pushed the puck past
Myre, who was sprawled on the
ice after a scramble in front of
the net.
After Murray fired a 50 - footer
past Flyers goalie Bernie Parent
to make it 3-1 at 9:29, Kindrachuk
scored his second goal on a solo
from the left side, head-faking a
Flames defenseman as he riaped
