ABA finals start:

By The Associated Press
LOUISVILLE - Artis Gilmore scored
26 points and Kentucky turned back a
fourth-quarter Indiana rally, beating the
Pacers 120-94 in the first game of their
,,u ABA championship series, last evening.
Indiana cut the margin to five points,
89-84, on George McGinnis' turnaround
jumper with 8:14 to go. But the Colonels,
with Dan Issel and Louis Dampier hit-
ting from the outside, gradually pulled
away.
McGinnis wound up with 35 points,
most of them in the second half.
The teams meet in Louisville again
Thursday night in the best-of-seven
series.
Dampier added 22 points and Issel had
18 for the Colonels. Kevin Joyce had 20
for Indiana.
Warriors-Bulls finale
OAKLAND-The Chicago Bulls have
conquered their playoff road jinx twice
this year, but unless they do it again

tonight the Golden State Warriors will be
champions of the NBA's Western Con-
ference.
"We made certain adjustments in Chi-
cago," Rick Barry, Golden State's high-
scoring forward said. "I'm sure the
Bulls will be making adjustments now
because of what we did. I hope they're
not as successful."
CHICAGO won here last Thursday to
take a 3-2 lead over the Warriors, and
Bulls guard Jerry Sloan said, "That was
a big one; we've taken the home court
advantage away from them."
But the Warriors have it again, and
the Bulls' all-time road playoff record
is 3-26. Chicago wrapped up its semi-
final series with Kansas City-Omaha,
however, by winning 101-89 on the Kings'
home floor.
The Warriors' strategy in game six at
Chicago Sunday included putting early
defensive pressure on guards Sloan and
Norm Van Lier. And Coach Al Attles

pletely dominated this deciding
game. They outshot New York
25-15 and just missed scoring at
east three more times on shots
that hit the goal post.
The Flyers open the best-of-
seven game championship series
here tomorrow against the Buf-
falo Sabres, who reached the
finals with a six-game semi-
final triumph over the Montreal
Canadiens.
POPULAR vocalist Kate

the Flyers, appeared in person

Over the past three years, the
Flyers posted a record of 43-3-1

were prepared for the Flyers'

than for the game becaust
captain Ed Westfall skated
over, planted a big kiss on
Miss Smith's cheek and hand-
ed her a bouquet of flowers.
Each Islander player skated
by and shook her hand.

Smith's voice had died away in
the hot Spectrum.
Jim Watson fought with the
Islanders' Ed Westfalt for the
puck along the boards. The
disc kicked out to Dornhoefer,
who skated down the right side
and beat Islanders' goalie Glenn
Resch with a 35-foot slap shot
into the far corner of the net.
Less than three minutes
later, the fired -up Flyers
turned on the red light again

as 17,077 hockey fanatics al-
most brought the roof down
with their cheering.
Philadelphia broke an 0-18
power play famine in boosting
the lead to 2-0 at 2:27.
Rick MacLeish won a faceoff
in the Islanders' zone from
Lorne Henning, dropping the
puck to Bill Barber at the left
point. Barber shot and the disc
deflected into the net off the
stick of MacLeish. s%
The Islanders, a team used

to adversity, didn't fold before
the aroused Flyers' offense
and the screaming of the hos-

skaters slashed the lead to

their own at 5:02.
