Johnson Wesley McKenna Tneschmai Rasmossen StovaU Hons Ross Butrym Calusen Totals 1 1 1 0 PORTLAND (AP) In a league of individual offensive stars, a couple of National Basketball Association teams demonstrated vividly it takes teamwork to win. The Portland Trail Blazers ran their offense better than they have all year and ran up their highest point total of the season in a 127-105 victory over the Houston Rockets Saturday night. The Rockets were just the opposite in execution as they depended upon whomever had the hot hand to keep them in the game. Mike Newlin ran off seven straight points in the first quarter as Houston built a seven-point lead. He ran off five more in a row in the final period to finish with 19 but only five of them came in the crucial second and third .31 J-S 34 11 14 04 ,16 71 34 04 04 .73 Irl 4-7 .11 04 04 ..1 04 04 1 04 04 TOO 77-44 7S-37 i 44 13 30 7 10 Convenient Customer Parking in bock of OREGON STATE .....14 71-58 3 J- 3 iv CREIGHTON 2027 NW Monroe 753-9652 Team rebounds Oregon State Creighton 5.

Calvin Murphy rattled off 16 points in the third quarter as the Rockets closed to within srx but then the Blazers, still patiently running theiroffense, pulled away. "If I wanted to score 30 points," said Murphy, "I could, but this isn't a one-on-one game. We have things we're supposed to run and we didn't run them." Murphy said the lack of execution on offense is the reason the talented Rockets are struggling. The loss to the Blazers put them below .500 for first time this season. "Our offense is hurting our defense," Murphy said.

"We don't need anybody scoring a ton of points. We gotta start winning some games." Maurice Lucas scored a ton of points a season-high 33 i i -i A v. Moses Malone (24) of Houston and Maurice Lucas (20) of the Portland Trail Blazers battle for a loose ball during action Saturday night in Portland. Satarday's RralM for Portland but it was more tribute to the offense-than individual effort. The Blazers had six players in double figures and most of the points came on easy, close shots of the variety coach Jack Ramsay's offense is designed to generate.

Blazer box to tp "They execute well. Jack's a hell of a coach," said Houston's Rick Barry, who played a steady if unspectacular game with 19 points and seven assists. He knows something about offensive ex-. ecution as he is the 16th leading scorer in NBA history. "We stayed in our offense better," Ramsay said.

"There are a lot of reasons for it. It's something we talk about a lot." One of the reasons for it was that the Blazers had scored less than 100 points in each of their last four outings and not coincidentally lost all four. Tom Owens had 29 points and Portland had one streak scorer of its own T.R. Dunn who canned 11 in the second quarter to put the Blazers in the lead for good. Owens, who neutralized the league's leading rebounder.
