Spinks is a boxer, but not one in the
classic sense.
Gerry Cooney is a power puncher in

DETROIT The teachings of for
mer Los Angeles star Marcel Dionne
helped make three Kings players
what they are today members of
the NHL all-rookie team.
Steve Duchesne, Jimmy Carson
and rookie-of-the-year Luc Robitaille
, were named to the six-man team
Friday, one day before a new set of
potential NHL rookies are selected in
the NHL entry draft.
Dionne, who shared his California
home with Robitaille, was traded by
the Kings late in the season to the
New York Rangers.
"He was kind of a dad, showing us
stuff about professional life," Robi
taille said. "He helped me, Jimmy
and Steve."
Others selected to the team chosen
by the Professional Hockey Writers
Association were Philadelphia goal
tender Ron Hextall, Vancouver Can
ucks right wing Jim Sandlak and
St. Louis defenseman Brian Benning.
"It's a good feeling to have three
guys from • the - same team," said
Robitaille, who led all rookies in
scoring with 84 points. "I think it's
good for California. I think it's going
to help hockey there."
Also benefitting from Dionne's tu
toring was Carson, a center drafted
second in last year's NHL entry draft
behind Joe Murphy, who spent the
season with the Detroit Red Wings'
American Hockey League affiliate in
Glens Falls, N.Y.
Hextall, who won the Conn Smythe
trophy as the most valuable player in
the NHL playoffs, led all NHL goal
tenders with 37 wins and finished the
season with a 3.00 goals against aver
age.
Duchesne, 21, finished eighth in the
NHL rookie scoring race with' 38
points, while Sandlak had 15 goals
and 21 assists for 26 points with Van
couver.

DETROIT As expected, the Ca

at the 25th NHL draft.
"I'm sure next, year you'll see

the Ontario Hockey League, which

and becoming both a light heavy

"Nobody else I've ever seen fights
like Michael fights," said Eddie
Futch, Spinks' veteran trainer, "but
Michael knows what he's doing every
second.
"Effectiveness is the only thing
that matters with Michael. He isn't a
classic boxer, but he is a fine boxer."
"I pride myself in defense . . .
that's how I win, making an opponent

One mistake against the physically

Lakers win title with 106-93 victory
By BILL BARNARD
AP Basketball Writer
INGLEWOOD, Calif. Magic
Johnson, selected the playoff Most
Valuable Player for the third time,
sparked a 30-12 third-quarter and
the Los Angeles Lakers won their
fourth NBA title since 1980 with a
106-93 victory over the Boston Cel
tics yesterday.
Los Angeles won the
championship series four games to
two.
A return to the Forum was just
the tonic for the Lakers, who lost
two of three games at Boston Gar;
den. Los Angeles took control when
Johnson scored 12 of his 16 points in
the third quarter after missing sev
en of nine field-goal attempts in the
first half.

The 6-foot-9 Johnson, who led the
Lakers in scoring, rebounding and
assists in the finals, also was play
off MVP when the Lakers won NBA
titles in his rookie season of 1980
and in 1982.
The Lakers also won the NBA
title in 1985 behind MVP Kareem
Abdul-Jabbar, beating the Celtics
for the first time in nine title meet
ings between the teams.
Abdul-Jabbar had 32 points, 19 in
the first half, and. James Worthy
broke out of a slump with 22 points.
Johnson had six points and three
assists as Los Angeles began the
second half with an 18-2 spurt, turn
ing a 56-51 halftime deficit into a 69-
58 lead.

The Lakers, who won all 10 of
their home games in the playoffs,
continued their dominance at the
Forum over the Celtics, who lost
their last seven postseason games
on the road.
"If I hit him I'll hurt him," said
Cooney, who has scored 24 knockouts
in winning 28 of 29 pro fights. "He'll
know what it feels to get hit by a real
heavyweight."
"Cooney's too big," said Larry
Holmes, who stopped Cooney in the
13th round of a World Boxing Council
title bid June 11, 1982, then lost the
International Boxing Federation title
to Spinks on a decision Sept. 21, 1985.
Spinks beat Holmes on a split deci

said.

Unity and speed lift L.A. to the top
By BILL BARNARD
AP Basketball Writer
The Los Angeles Lakers' title season started with a trade that wasn't
made and flourished with the continued excellence of Magic Johnson and
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, as they won their fourth NBA championship in this
decade.
Los Angeles was stung by four consecutive defeats to the Houston
Rockets in the 1986 Western Conference finals, a loss that convinced many
that the Lakers didn't have enough size to contend for the title.
They almost agreed to a trade with Dallas that would have brought small
forward Mark Aguirre and 6-foot-11 rookie Roy Tarpley to Los Angeles for
small forward James Worthy.
Lakers Coach Pat Riley is happy that General Manager Jerry West
vetoed the trade although Tarpley went on to become an All-NBA rookie
selection.
"From a talent standpoint, Tarpley showed up better than anyone
thought, but right now there isn't a better player in this league than James
Worthy," Riley said. "You don't let a guy like that go unless you know what
you're going to get in return."
In deciding to keep Worthy and move second-year pro A.C. Green into
the starting lineup ahead of Kurt Rambis, a strong rebounder, Riley
figured that the Lakers could win the title with speed and quickness.
After producing the best record during the regular season (65-17) and
playoff victories over Denver, Golden State, Seattle and Boston, Riley's
decision proved wise.
Riley said there were three reasons why the Lakers won this season.
"One, Kareem is still here to do it every night. Two, not making that
trade kept the unit together. Three, Magic's development," Riley said.

Snead victorious
Westchester Classic
By 808 GREEN
AP Golf Writer
HARRISON, N.Y. J.C. Snead needed only a par 4 on the first hole of a
sudden-death playoff yesterday to defeat scrambling Seve Ballesteros for the
title in the Westchester Classic.
Ballesteros, the dashing Spaniard who forced the playoff with a birdie on the
72nd hole, chopped up the playoff hole after driving deep into the rough. He
required four shots to reach the green and never did hole out.
The victory was the eighth of a 20-year career for Snead, a 45-year-old
nephew of Hall of Famer Sam Snead, and his first since 1981.
The triumph was worth $lOB,OOO from the total purse of $600,000.
Snead and Ballesteros completed the regulation 72 holes over the Westches
ter Country Club course in 276, eight under par.
Snead had a closing 70, one under par. Ballesteros, twice a Masters winner
and holder of two British Open titles, struggled to a 72.
Each benefited from the back-nine collapse of Mike Reid, who has earned
more than $1 million in an 11-year career but still is seeking his first victory.
Reid, three shots in front at the turn, backed away with bogeys on the 12th
and 15th, where he could not reach the greens, and with a decisive double
bogey on the 16th, where he failed to get a little chip out of deep rough near the
green.
"I can't explain it to myself, so how can I explain it to anyone else," Reid
said after a 4-over-par 75 dropped him back to 278, two shots out of the playoff.
Roger Maltbie came on to take third with a par 71 that put him at 277.
Reid was tied with Mike Donald and Morris Hatalsky, each of whom had a
67.
Fred Couples, with a 67, and Sandy Lyle of Scotland, with a 71, were next at
279.
