Page 20-Saturday, May 13, 1978-The Michigan Daily Philly sent packing! Bullets in NBA final LANDOVER, Md. (AP)-Wes Unseld put in a rebound shot with 12 seconds remaining to give the underdog Washington Bullets a 101-99 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers last night, giving Washington the Eastern Con- ference Championship, 4-2. Washington moves into the National Basketball Association finals against the winner of the Western Conference besto-of-seven series between Seattle and Denver. The 76ers overcame an eight-point fourth quarter deficit while Julius Er- ving was on the bench in foul trouble and went ahead 99-98 on a fould shot by Joe Bryant with 2:04 left. Elvin Hayes, who scored 21 points for Washington, tied the score 99-99, hitting one of two foul shots with 1:10 left to play. Hayes then rebounded a shot with 50 seconds left by Doug Collins, who scored 31 of his 33 points in the first half. Hayes missed a field goal attempt, but little Charles Johnson rebounded with 35 seconds remaining. Johnson's next shot was off the rim, Unseld put up a rebound which missed but then followed his own shot and put it in to win the game. Philadelphia, the runnerup to the champion Poortland Trail Blazers last year, had one more chance but Lloyd Free was charged with an offensive fould when he ran into Hayes. Bog Dandridge led Washington with 28 points and Larry Wright had 17, both before fouling out. Erving, who was on the bench for 10 minutes in the second half after drawing his fifth foul, finished with 22 points. Collins hit 14 of 19 shots in the first half, but was only 2-for-8 in the second half after the Bullets put Tom Henderson on him. Unseld scored eight points but grab- bed 15 rebounds, while Hayes gathered in 14. It was the 20th consecutive home- court victory for Washington when played before crowds of 12,000 or more. vu ur m m Y ueseems t oe what ronauciipma guard zoug souins is saying as he leaps through two Washington Bullet defenders.

First the good news: Michigan defeated Michigan State, 7-2 yesterday in Ann Arbor to win the team competition of the state AIAW tournament to qualify for the midwest AIAW competition next week in Muncie, Indiana. Now the bad news: Michigan's Kathy Krickstein, the number four seed in the individual singles competition of the tournament sprained her ankle during her match with Michigan State's Heather Mactagert and had to retire. Not only does Krickstein's default eliminate her from en- tering the singles competition at Muncie, but it also knocks out she and Lisa Wood from competing in the doubles qualifier, where they were seeded second behind Michigan's Kathy Karzen and Ann Kercher. "Her left foot just stuck to the surface and didn't give," commented Michigan coach Bill Flood. "I'm not sure if she will be ready for the Midwest Regional and this could hurt the team's performance (Krickstein is Michigan's number two player). If she can't play, either Whit Stodghill or Ann Kercher will replace her." "I was playing next to her and I saw it happen," said Leticia Diaz-Perez, Michigan's upset .winner of.third seeded Kelly Serges of-Central.Michigan yesterday, 'When. you're tired or not moving your feet enough on that surface (track-tennis building's) your foot sticks. It happened to Horwitch (men's tennis star Matt) and he broke his foot." When Krickstein was healthy in the early part of the day Michigan blitzed the Spartans by winning four of their six singles matches and all of their doubles. Only Diaz-Perez and Elaine Crosby lost. "The team as a whole is playing very well," Flood said. "Karzen has an excellent chance of winning the singles tourney and she and Kercher look like they can win the doubles." Besides Krickstein's injury and the team victory, the biggest news was Diaz-Perez's upset victory of Serges after a listless performance against Michigan State, "Against Kelly I played each point and played my game," Diaz-Perez said. "I kept playing until I pulled it out. In the morning I wasn't there and I wasn't playing." Diaz-Perez's match with Serges was a marathon three hour match that went to a tiebreaker in the third set that the Michigan freshperson won 5-1. Today the individual competition continues with Michigan's Karzen, Sue Weber and Diaz-Perez still alive in singles competition and the doubles teams of Karzen and Kercher and Diaz-Perez and White Stodghill also fighting it out-for thetitle. disaster, the Detroiters had things pret- ty much their own way. In fact, the Tigers never trailed before that last in- ning, coming up with a pair of runs in the second inning. After mowing down the first five Bengals, Oakland starter John Johnson was victimized by third baseman Wayne Gross's miscus. Gross' throwing error on John Wockenfuss' ground ball enabled catcher Lance Parish to unload a two run homer into the leftfield seats. Tiger starter Jack Billingham was sharp in the early going. Not normally a strikeout pitcher, the veteran whiffed six A's in six innings of work, allowing single runs in the third and fifth in- nings.
