A Roundup of the Week Feb. 2-8

PRO BASKETBALL—"It didn't take an Einstein to realize that when they were up by 16 points and they were running plays for Kurt Rambis to hit jump shots, we were in trouble," said Sacramento's Derek Smith after the Kings fell 128-92 to the Lakers, setting records for fewest points in the first period (4) and worst shooting in a period (0 for 18). The Kings first scored on two Smith free throws 9:06 into the game and missed 21 field goals before connecting with 11:40 left in the half. The Pacific Division-leading Lakers had it tougher the rest of the week, losing for only the second time in 21 home games this season, 103-99 to Dallas, and dropping their first decision in 11 meetings with Portland, 105-104. The Blazers, 30-19, stretched their winning streak to four but remained six games behind LA. Atlantic Division powerhouse Boston wobbled into the All-Star Game break. Atlanta edged the Celtics 126-123 in overtime after Dominique Wilkins scored 40 of his 54 points in the second half, including 16 of the Hawks' final 17 points in regulation and the game-winning three-point play. Boston just barely held off lowly Cleveland 104-102 the next night. When Detroit lost to Indiana 98-93, the Hawks were tied with the Pistons for the Central Division lead. In the Midwest, Dallas added a 124-94 drubbing of Seattle to its Laker upset to stay two games ahead of Utah, which beat Sacramento 101-95 and the Clippers 126-103. In the highest-scoring All-Star Game ever, MVP Tom Chambers tallied 34 points to lead the West to a 154-149 OT triumph over the East.

HOCKEY—For the injury-riddled Philadelphia Flyers, this week's five-day Rendez-Vous break arrived not a second too soon. Playing without seven regulars, the Flyers' losing streak reached four after they fell to Toronto (which had lost its last six games) 8-4, Winnipeg 5-3 and New Jersey 3-2. The Islanders moved in the same direction with a 0-2-1 week and trailed Philly by 15 points in the Patrick Division, as the Rangers, reborn under the reins of G.M.-coach Phil Esposito, got hot on their trail. The Rangers swept Washington 3-2 on Caps goalie Bob Mason's own goal and 5-4 on Tomas Sandstrom's OT score to move into third. They ended the week with a 5-4 loss to Toronto. In the Norris Division, Detroit twice beat Minnesota, 6-4 and 5-3, to take a one-point edge. It was the first time since 1966 that the Red Wings had led a division this late in the season. The North Stars also lost to Edmonton 6-5 in overtime as Wayne Gretzky scored his 50th goal—for the eighth straight season—and then set up Randy Gregg's game-winner. A 3-3 tie with the Islanders and a pair of wins (4-2 and 6-2) over St. Louis left the Oilers 12 points ahead of Winnipeg in the Smythe. Hartford lost to Buffalo 3-1 to fall briefly out of first in the Adams Division, but the Whalers rebounded with victories over Washington (5-2) and Montreal (3-1) and led Boston by 3 points.
