PONTIAC (AP)-Orlando
Woolridge made a free throw with
five seconds left in the game to
finish with 33 points last night and
give the New Jersey Nets a 113-112
NBA victory over Detroit, snapping
the Pistons' seven-game winning
streak.
Woolridge, fouled by Sidney
Green on an inbounds play, made
the first of two free throws,
breaking a 112-112 tie. Piston
guard Joe Dumars, who forced the
112-112 tie with a leaning jumper
with six seconds left, missed a
baseline jump shot at the buzzer.
BUCK WILLIAMS made one
of two free throws, forcing a 110-
110 tie with 1:10 left. Williams
then rebounded a miss by Detroit
rookie Dennis Rodman and Nets
guard Leon Wood made an 18-foot
jump shot for a 112-110 lead with
20 seconds to play.
Adrian Dantley scored 30 points
to lead the Pistons. Dumars added
18 points.

lead with 2:55 left in the fourth
quarter.,
Detroit led 63-57 at halftime.
The Nets played without center
Mike Gminski, who is idled by
back spasms. New Jersey has won

last night and end the Hawks' 11-
game winning streak, longest in the
NBA this season.
The 76ers trailed 105-96 with
3:46 to play, then scored 13
straight points as the Hawks turned
the ball over five consecutive
times.
AFTER Barkley's three-point
play, Spud Webb's driving layup

brought Atlanta within 109-107
with 33 seconds left. The Hawks
had one more chance to tie but
Webb missed a 15-footer with three
seconds remaining.
Philadelphia, already without
injured Julius Erving and Cliff
Robinson, lost guard Maurice
Cheeks, who dislocated the middle
finger of his left hand with 10:54
remaining in the first quarter.
Former Michigan center Tim
McCormick added 21 points and
Roy Hinson 15 for Philadelphia
while Dominique Wilkins had 37
and Kevin Willis 12 for the Hawks.

BOSTON (AP)- Larry Bird
scored 30 points and the Boston
Celtics used free throws and a 40-
point third quarter to break open a
close NBA game and beat the
Milwaukee Bucks 120-102 last
night.
With the score tied for the 14th
time 49-49, Bird's 15-foot jumper
with 49 seconds left in the first half
gave Boston the lead for good. He
then made three consecutive free
throws before Kevin McHale added
one for the Celtics.
BOSTON led 55-51 at
halftime, then scored the first eight
points of the third quarter , four by
Dennis Johnson. The Celtics
outscored the Bucks 21-8 in the
first 6:32 of the second half-11 on
foul shots-to take a 76-59 lead.
Bucks coach Don Nelson got two
technical fouls in that span and
guard John Lucas one.
Milwaukee cut the lead to 82-71

streak
but Danny Ainge led a 13-4 Boston
run with eight points as the margin
grew to 95-75 going into the fourth
quarter. In the third period, Ainge
had 11 of his 18 points, McHale 10
of his 23 and Bird 10. Johnson
finished with 19.

123-115 Tuesday night in
