BASKETBALL—NBA: Surging NEW YORK (44-21) moved into second place, extending its winning streak to 11—a team record—and 20 straight at home. The Knicks; with Walt Frazier making eight steals (five of which he converted into layups) in a 98-92 win over the Warriors, tightened the Eastern race (page 14), approaching to within three games of first-place BALTIMORE (45-16). The Bullets kept pace, winning all four of their games, massive Westlcy Unseld pulling down 30 rebounds in a 132-122 victory over the Bucks. PHILADELPHIA (39-20) lost two but beat the Royals. Bill Russell returned to action and led BOSTON (36-24) to a pair of wins against one loss. CINCINNATI (32-29) was 1 and 2 but kept ahead of sixth-place DETROIT (25-37), which also won one and lost two, as did MILWAUKEE (17-45), but the Bucks haven't won more than a game a week since Jan. 11. In the Western Division, Wilt Chamberlain scored' 66 (the league high this season) and got 28 rebounds against pheeble Phoenix, as LOS ANGELES (42-20) won three.

Out West, DALLAS (24-27) edged up to fourth with three wins and a loss, changing places with LOS ANGELES (22-31), the Stars falling to fifth. OAKLAND (41-9) was way out in front, but Rick Barry, who needs knee surgery, is out for the season. DENVER (33-22), winning two behind Larry Jones, who scored 30 or more points for the eighth straight game, was second, as NEW ORLEANS (28-27) and HOUSTON (16-35) straggled behind.

NEW YORK (29-23-5) lost three and tied one, 3-3, against the Flyers in snowbound Madison Square Garden, shutout king Ed Giacomin being shut out (he was stranded on Long Island), and interim Coach Emile Francis signing himself to a $1 contract as interim backup goalie.
