The Lakers, trying to become the first team in 19 tik years to win tles, like things the way they painfully aware that they don't have a monopoly on that precious basketball commodity. The Lakers have some of it, too. Los Angeles clamped down on Detroit's many offensive weapons Thursday night, forced bad shots and turnovers and evened the NBA finals at one game each with 6 a victory. The Lakers broke a string of eight straight games in which the Pistons held an opponent under 43 percent shooting and five straight games in which Detroit allowed fewer than 100 points. "You have to credit their aggressive defense," Pistons' Coach Chuck Daly said. "I thought they had the same type of aggressiveness we had in the first game." 3 In Detroit's opening victory Tuesday night, the Lakers hit just 33.8 percent ot their shots. Meanwhile, Detroit's Adrian Dantley made 14 of 16 shots and had 34 back-to-bac- are. "We knew what we had to Game 2, now we have to take it to Detroit," Los Angeles guard. Byron Scott said. "We haven't attacked on the road but Sunday we will attack. We're going to be do in 108-9- ready." "I think we'll shoot better at home," Daly said. "We didn't play well at all, but we still had an opportunity to win the game," Vinnie Johnson said. "If we come out with the same intensity back be should we home, fine." 105-9- points, while Vinnie Johnson was seven for 11 and scored points. In the secondof 16 en game, Dantley made five 10 shots and had 19 points, while Johnson was three for 14 and managed just eight points. The Pistons sank 57.5 per cent of their shots in the opener but just 43.5 percent Thursday night. The Lakers were able to run after rebounding Detroit misses more than they did in the first game. Several times, the Pistons were forced to fire up desperation heaves to beat the clock as the Lakers used a trapping defense. "We tried to get them to shoot when they didn't want nd to," Lakers' forward A.C. Green said. "We finally did what we were supposed to do in the first game," Lakers' guard Magic Johnson said. "We double teamed and rotated and got to the open man ... We never let Vinnie and AD (Dantley) get into their rhythm." Vinnie Johnson and Dantley Magic Johnson, recovering from the flu, had 23 points and 11 assists in 42 minutes. Los Angeles was led by James Worthy with 26 points and Scott with 24. The Lakers committed just nine turon-ver- s, tying a record for the NBA finals held by several clubs. Dantley had 19 points and Isiah Thomas 13 to lead the Pistons. &sr, DETROIT FT FO U-- 2 2 2 2 Dantley Thomas V. Johnson laimbeer Dumara Rodman Mahom Salley Edwards Team INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) A.C.

Johnson first felt feverish after Tuesday night's loss to Detroit and didn't practice before Game 2. But, despite feeling weak, he was the key cog in the Lakers' offense as they evened the series. "Earvin showed the heart of a champion," Los Angeles coach Pat Riley said of Johnson. "He was really weak. "But he just was not going to let us lose." "I wouldn't wish this on anyone," Johnson said of the virus. "The fever was gone,-bu- t I was real weak, and the virus was still in my stomach. "But I just had to go out and focus in. My teammates look to me, and if I showed my teammates that I was sick, it would have been a big letdown for them. "I had to boost them up, so I had to fight through it. I had to pace myself for the first time ever. It was diffi cult, but I worked it out." Johnson laughed when asked if, when he bussed his close friend, Detroit guard Isiah Thomas, before the game, he was trying to give Thomas the virus. ''Oh, no," Johnson said. "It was on the cheek." The Pistons also had a player who played in pain, center Bill Laimbeer. He had suffered an injury to his left arch in Game 1 and had been listed as doubtful for the second contest. But Laimber played 32 minutes, limping only slightly. He had 11 points and nine rebounds. Although Laimbeer said afterward that the foot really wasn't bothering him, Detroit coach Chuck Daly said, "I know it hurt him, but I thought he did a real good job. "Ke was obviously not 100 percent, but he's a tough guy." momentum call stole Pistons say disputed INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) The Detroit Pistons believe they were denied a chance to rally in the final two minutes because of a disputed call that had all the participants confused. Byron Scott was intercepted by Dennis Rodman, who broke away for what could have been an easy basket. But referee Jess Kersey, thinking that shot missed the rim, blew his whistle and ruled that the clock should not have been reset.

Despite Kersey's apparent error, Pistons center Bill Laimbeer blamed the timekeeper. "Don't fault the referees," Laimbeer said. "That defi- the nitely turned momentum around. A steal would have put us three points down. Instead they get two free throws and they're up seven. "It was buzzard's luck. Why do these fluky things always happen to us?" Lakers coach Pat Riley, understandably, was happy with the call. "It was a big call," Riley said. "The third official (Hugh Evans) said it hit the rim. That's what Hugh is there for. "It seemed fair that we get the ball and five seconds." Pistons coach Chuck Daly and Detroit forward John Sal-le- y saw it another way. "We had the momentum going our way and we could've cut the lead down to three, but they took it away from us," Salley said. "They should have called a clock violation, but they obviously didn't know what was going on. "It was very, very big," Daly said. "It gave them the ball, and their score took us out of position to win. We had the ball on a steal and were going in for a layup."
