Rockies finally make play-offs

‘The National Hockey
League’s franchise in
Denver may have
received the big boost it
needed to build a ‘solid
foundation for the future,
' No one really expected
Colorado Rockies to
make the Stanley Cup
playoffs and now that
they are there, no one
expects them to get by
Philadelphia Flyers in

their best-of-three pre-
liminary series which
gets under way tonight.

Openers have Buffalo
Sabres at home to New
York Rangers, Los
Angeles Kings visiting

Detroit Red Wings at
Atlanta Flames.

‘Top rookies meet

Two rookies who helped
turn their teams into
playott contenders from
eague doormats will be
matched head-to-head
tonight when the National
Basketball Association
Playolfs get under way
with Milwaukee Bucks in
Pmoenix to play the Suns,

Walter Davis, six-foot-
six, of Phoenix, and
Marques Johnson, six-
foot-seven, of Milwaukee,
will meet in a match-up
which could hold the key
to the — bestof-three
opening-round series.

“Tt will be Marques’s
strength against Walter’s
quickness—although .
Marques is pretty quick,
too,’’ said Milwaukee
coach Don Nelson,
“Davis's transition game
is as good as anyone's in
the league.”’

It was good enough to
help him score 24.2 points
per game, the top
average among rookies in
the league and the nenth-
best mark over all.
Johnson scored at ah
average clip of 19.5, but
led his team with 10.6
rebounds per game.

The other three first-
round series begin
Wednesday, with New
York Knicks at Cleveland
Cavaliers, Atlanta Hawks
at Washington Bullets
and Los Angeles Lakers
at Seattle SuperSonics.

The second game in
each series will be played
Friday night.

Another big match-up
in the Milwaukee-
Phoenix series is at
guard, where Briann-
Winters of Milwaukee

will go against Paul -

Westphal of Phoenix.
They are two of the
league's best shooters
and most explosive
scorers.

‘HAVE SAVVY’

“I think Phoenix has a
little more basketball
savvy than we do,” said
Nelson, ‘They're one of
the smartest teams in the
league. Westphal will be
our big problem and Ron
Lee will be a problem
coming off their bench.”’
’ Cleveland coach Bill
Fitch is happy to have the
heme-court advantage
for his team’s series
against New York.

“In close series like
these, it's nice to have
that little extra from the
hometown fans,” he said.

The Knicks aren't
worried, since they won
their last four road
games of the regular sea-
son. And they're happy
not to be facing former
team-mate Walt Frazier,
who is still out of the
Cleveland lineup because
of a bruised toe, ‘

Running is what
Adanta Hawks do best.
They, start scrambling at
the opening tap, em-

ploying an assortment ot
zones and pressing
defences, and they don’t
let up.

“They reached playoff
intensity at. Christmas
and have maintained it,”
said Washington coach
Dick Motta.

Seattle was not ex-
pected to make the
playoffs either, espe-
cially after stumbling out
of the gate to a 5-17.start,

if the Rockies are down 1-

for the second game of
the series against
Philadelphia on Thur-

Mike Paxton quickly

knew about Boston Red
Sox—and then he taught
them a little something
about Mike Paxton,

If any of the Red Sex
care to peruse the team’s
media guide or listen to
manager Don Zimmer,
they will learn that the

descriptions for Paxton’

inchide
“‘agpressiveness”
,“‘competitor."n

But for a while Monday
it appeared as though the
word for the 24-year-old
right-hander would be
“showers.” Paxton, one
of four players sent to
Cleveland Indians by the
Red Sox late last month
in the Dennis Eckersley
deal, inherited a 4-3 lead
in the, sixth inning of a
game the Indians went on
to win 5-4 on Ron Pruitt’s
ninthinning single.

Paxton immediately
surrendered a pame-
tying home run to Boston
catcher Carlton Fisk and
then. watched his out-
fielders flag down shots
off the bats of Fred Lynn
and George Scott.

But from that point on,
he yielded only a fluke
single before giving way
to Jim Kern in the ninth.

“The problem when I
got in there was that I fell
behind the batters,”
Paxton explained. ‘You
can't do that. Then you
have to come jn with it
and guys like that will kill
you. You don’t think
about it when you're
pitching for them, but
they just Keep marching
to the plate. That’s a heck
of a line-up,

“Maybe I was a little
more nervous out there
because they were my ex-
teammates, but I just
made a mistake getting
behind.”
