PRO BASKETBALL—Mark Aguirre, the onetime Pillsbury Doughboy, fattened only his average when he scored 43 (a career high) and 35 points, respectively, as Dallas beat Indiana 134-126 and Kansas City 125-115. The two wins ran the Maverick victory streak to five games, a franchise record. The Mavs, who then fell to New Jersey 115-110, also beat feckless Houston 119-113 but lost ground to San Antonio in the Midwest Division race. The Spurs swept Utah (116-106), Indiana (143-138) and New Jersey (120-109) as Artis Gilmore scored 40 and 39 points, respectively, in the first two games and blocked nine shots in the last. While Pacific Division-leading Los Angeles never trailed Portland in a 125-120 victory, the Lakers had tot overcome a seven-point deficit in the final 4:11 to beat Milwaukee 115-113. The Bucks welcomed back Bob Lanier from six weeks on the injury rolls in a 115-102 win over San Diego. Lanier, who had undergone arthroscopic surgery on his right knee, scored only four points in that game. Not to worry. Marques Johnson had 33 for the Central Division leaders.

Boston's Pete Peeters extended his unbeaten streak to 26 games as the Adams Division-leading Bruins beat the New York Rangers 3-1 and Detroit 7-3. Against the Red Wings, rookie Left Wing Luc Dufour scored his first NHL hat trick. "If it was my choice, I'd love to stay," said Flyer rookie Goalie Bob Froese, who was brought up from the Maine Mariners in January to replace the injured Pelle Lindbergh. He remained more than welcome in Philadelphia after running his record to 8-0 with wins over New Jersey (5-1) and Winnipeg (5-2) before settling for a 2-2 tie against Minnesota. The Flyers ended the week nine points ahead of the New York Islanders in the Patrick Division, despite the Isles' victories over Los Angeles (6-4), Vancouver (5-3) and Edmonton (4-2). Mike Bossy scored his 21st career hat trick against the Kings. Against Smythe Division-leading Edmonton, the Islanders stopped the league's top power-play attack five times.

INDOOR SOCCER—Andy Chapman had two game-winning goals—both in overtime—to preserve Wichita's share of first in the Western Division.
