But it was the poor shooting perfor- mance of Utahs two big guns in the first half that knocked the Jazz out of the con-lotest. Griffith hit only one of his first 10 shots and A.D. could come up with only two points in the first half, With the exception of the third iod, it was a dismal night for A.D., who is second in NBA scoring this year. In tempting to lead a Jazz rally, Dantley pumped in 17 points, but he finished with only 23 in the total column, six below his season average. The solution to winning for Boston has always been balanced scoring and plenty of rebounding. Last night was no excep-in- g tion. The world champs had six men in h ble figures, lead by Tiny Archibald with 22 and Bird with 21. They were followed by Robert Parish and Kevin McHale with 16, Combread Maxwell with 13 and Chris Ford with 11. Boston outrebounded Utah, 52 to 38. through the second quarter proved to be 0 the demise of the Utah Jazz in its to Boston Wednesday in front of 12,493 fans in the Salt Palace. During that dreadful four minute Jazz whitewashing, the defending world cham- racked up 14 straight points while Utahs two top scorers sat idly on the 121-11- Adrian Dantley, who was given the defensive assignment of handling Larry Bird found himself resting on the pine after picking up three quick fouls. And Darrell Griffith found himself sitting out after a horrendous one- - for- - seven shoot- in the first quarter. The Jazz then went deep into their with its strongest defensive lineup of Carl Nicks, John Duren, Jeff Wilkins, James Hardy and Bill Roliinzine. the Jazz commit- After trailing ted five turnovers, called two timeouts and failed to draw cotton on eight conse- cutive possessions. From that point on, the Celtics re- fused to let the Jazz comeback into camp, The closest the Jazz could after being down 57-3-9 was 12 points and the Boston lead ballooned out to 20 at the outset of the second half. The Celtics have credibility and we dont, said Jazz mentor Frank Layden. And that's why they can manhandle us. When we saw they had Dantley on Bird, we ran a lot of stuff for Larry - a lot of low post stuff, said Boston Coach Bill Fitch. Dantley s a great offensive player, but because he is not tall that gave us an advantage. Fitch said it is vital to make A.D. play defease in order to beat Utah. With our forwards Dantley has to either let them score or else he finds himself in foul trouble, he said. Despite the Utah defeat, there were some bright spots in the Jazz lineup. Bill Robinzine started for the first time this year and picked up 16 points in only 20 minutes of play. Robos playing time was limited because of fouls and he fouled out six minutes into the third period. Robo hit on eight of his 12 shots from the field and snatched four rebounds. Wilkins logged his career high in time played with 43 minutes on the court. It was the precise shooting of Wilkins espedally in the first half - that kept Utah as close as they were. Wilkins had his season high of 21 points, and had nine rebounds.

It was Bee doing the damage in close and Kelly Christensen hitting the bomlrers from outside that sparked this Bear rally. Slingerland and Chuck Holbert, with a big assist from Palmer led the Buff comeback that set the stage for Swans clutch foul shooting. It was simply a great win for the Buffs, who never quit battling. In addition to 13-1- 11-1- 6-- 27-1- lead the overcoming that big Buffs proved their mettle by overcoming a Bear lead with just three minutes to go. It was Swans fielder and a foul shot and Palmers side shot that got the Buffs back in the game. Down the home stretch Tooele connected on 9 of 10 attempts from the foul line, with the only miss being Swans deliberate miss in regulation time. Tooeles entire line-u- p of Garit Law-soChuck Holbert, Slingerland, Palmer, Swan and Ferrin played magnificently. To be sure there were a couple of bobbles in the game, but when the chips were down those battlin Buffs came through.

Swan was fouled again. This time, Swan had instructions to hit both attempts, which he did and regulation time ended with the teams deadlocked at 58 each. Ainge, who has been with Boston for about one month, played eight minutes points. Ainge was greeted by the crowd with a mix of cheers and boos, the raspberries obviously coming from fans displeased with his jump from professional baseball back to basketball. If the Jazz hope to break its six game losing skein, they are going to have to do it against the team with the best record in the NBA. Dr. J and the Philadelphia 76ers will be in town Saturday.

It was on Dec. 5 that Tooele lost a 0 verdict to Bear River in Tremonton in a game in which Tooele figured it got homered by the officials. Wednesday it was Tooele that came out on top and this time it was BR that figured it came out on the short end of an officials decision. Actually it was Robbie Slingerland who canned a pair of free throws with 50 seconds remaining in the second overtime that enabled Tooele to shake the battling Beats, but it was Gary Swan, with some brilliant foul shooting that spelled the difference between the two teams. Bear River had lead throughout most of the game, and with 34 seconds remaining were nursing a 5 lead. Then with 21 seconds left. Swan was fouled and went to the foul line.
