Nothing seemed to faze the 27-year-old player from Bossier City, who shot a 65 on the tougher South Course Thursday and followed with another 65 on the North Course Friday for a 130 total. Ronnie Black, one of the leaders after the first round, played the courses in reverse order and followed his 65 with a 68, slipping into a tie for second with Mark Wurtz. Toms was 14 under par for the tournament after his 13th hole of the day, but settled for pars down the stretch.

"I missed five-foot birdie putts on two of the last three holes," he said. "And I thought I hit a perfect approach shot on my 17th hole the eighth, but it went a little long. That was probably adrenaline. I'll need to control that." He hesitated. "It would have been nice to sneak those putts in," he said.

Dave Barr, the veteran who played the first two rounds with Toms, said: "I think that last putt was the only one he missed in two days. A couple of times today, he got in trouble and missed greens, but he got up and down for his pars." If Toms felt badly about missing two five-foot putts, imagine how Kirk Triplett felt. He shot a 63 on the North Course to move into a tie for fourth place at 134 with Craig Stadler, Brad Faxon and Tom By-rum in spite of missing two 18-inch putts. Toms, who tied Bob Eastwood's four-year-old 36-hole tournament record, is looking for his first victory in three-plus years on the tour. i "I don't think I've been 14 under after two rounds on the tour before," he said.

"My overall performance hasn't been that great, but I think I'm a better player than I've shown. Maybe this will be the week that I break out." Toms played the first four holes in par Friday and then had seven birdies over the middle nine holes of his round. He put himself into position and made his putts when he had the opportunity, most of them from 10 to 15 feet, but one from 30. One of the pivotal holes of the first two days for Toms was the 14th on the South Course Thursday. His drive nestled against a root, leaving him a blind and almost impossible shot to the green.

He got his par. "I didn't know what was going to happen when I swung," Toms said, "and I couldn't even see where it went after I hit it. It rolled up on the green and I got the par." The North Course figured to be easier. And, in a sense, it was. "I didn't hit the ball as well today as I did yesterday," Toms said.

"I just made some putts." Stadler, 40, of San Diego, who played hundreds of rounds at Torrey Pines, did the same thing Toms did. He went from the South to the North and matched his score, in Stadler's case two 67s. "I played a lot better yesterday than I did today," Stadler said. "If you keep the ball reasonably in play on the North, you should shoot three or four or five under. I scraped around and made a couple of birdies and ended up with a 67 that felt like a 72 or 73." rut vcr oa tv with DgLUIl 8T8TCM WaCHMtQ per day NO PAYMENT FOR 4 MONTHS OA.C.

"But it's something we Shouldn't dwell on. We've just got tp grout and play hard. Otherwise, w'll'get a loss for sure." Denver 102, New York 94 Mah-mound Abdul-Rauf scored 28 points and the Nuggets overcame Patrick Ewing's 35-point performance at Denver. The victory was the fifth in six games for Denver, while the Knicks suffered their tJiW' consecutive defeat and their fifjh loss in seven games. CLIPPERS Continued from C2 in six games since the All-Star break, had 26 points and a season-high seven rebounds in 26 minutes.

Ellis, who had 20 first-half points, including 16 in the second quarter, made his' first seven shots as the Clippers ended a five-game losing streak. Center Elmore Spencer scored a career-high 28 points and grabbed a season-high 13 rebounds to lead the Clippers (18-34). Mitch Richmond made a team-record eight three-pointers and scored 37 points to lead the Kings (19-35). Wilkins is due to arrive here today and Weiss mbved practice back to 5:30 p.m. so that Wilkins can work out with the team after taking his physical exam.

Wilkins is expected to make his Clipper debut in Sunday's game against Seattle at the Sports Arena. Ellis, who idolized, Wilkins while growing up in Atlanta, looks forward to meeting him. "I know it sounds strange, but LAKERS Continued from C2 making 14 of 18 shots. Vinny Del Negro had 24 while going 10 of 14. Negele Knight had 12 points off the bench.

Smith had few answers. "Yes and no," he said after the Lakers lost for the fourth time in five games. "Ask the guy up there. He knows everything." Smith was motioning toward Coach Randy Pfund. "I pretty much know what's going on," Smith said.

"But there's nothing I can do about it." So what is going on? "I can't say," Smith said. "But it is going on." The only thing going on, Pfund said, is that the Lakers figure it would be a good idea to have some scoring in their offense. Even if that means starting a small back-court of 6-foot-2 Threatt and 6-1 Nick Van Exel and leaving Smith to watch and wonder as the Spurs shot 60.5 and won for the 14th HP LaserJet 4L HP LaserJet 4ML HP LaserJet 4P HP LaserJet 4MP HP LaserJet 4SI HP LaserJet 4SIMX HP ScanJet IICX MEM 6oo dpi HP? 4 PPM fllSC ProOMtor Straight Papsr Pah 46 Fonts HP LaserJet 4 $1324 HP LaserJet 4M 1827 wnH'JS FREE dractiy from HP with purchase of an HP LaserJet 4 or 4M HP DeskWriter $249 HP DeskWriter 500C 410 HP DeskWriter 550C 429 Hfc at 0tm ft. in in Authorized Open Mon-fri I Associated Press Danny Manning assumes the role of spectator, cheering his new teammates at Atlanta. when he aggravated his sprained right shoulder early in the third quarter.

They have lost two in a row since their six-game winning streak and a report in the San Jose Mercury News said Friday that the relationship between Chris Webber and Coach Don Nelson has. gotten so bad that Webber may try to leave the team after this season. Chicago 116, Washington 94 Horace Grant had 26 points and 13 rebounds for the Bulls at Landov-er, in dealing the Bullets their fifth loss in a row, 12th in their last 14 games. Miami 115, Philadelphia 84 Glen Rice scored 25 points and Steve Smith 21 at Philadelphia as the Heat handed the 76ers their eighth consecutive loss, longest losing streak for the team since it dropped 13 in a row during the 1972-73 season. They talked to his wife, who was unable to reach Wilkins on his cellular phone.

Clipper Notes Diniijr Manning received a -standing ovation before the Hawks' game against the Milwaukee Bucks Friday night at Atlanta. He passed his physical but wasn't in uniform. "I'm excited about coming to the Atlanta Hawks," he said. "Dominique was a player here for a long time. He was a legend for the city.

I'm not going to try to replace him. I'm just going to go out and play the best I can." The Clippers will receive Atlanta's first-round pick in 1994 if the Hawks finish 20th or higher. However, if they finisher lower than 20th and don't sign Manning, the Clippers would have to compensate the Hawks with a future first-round pick If they opted to take the Hawks' 1994 first-round pick. The Clippers can elect to take the Hawks' 1995 first-round pick if Atlanta signs Manning. However, the Clippers won't get the pick if the Hawks don't sign Manning.

The Clippers signed rookie forward Charles Outlaw to a second 10-day contract before the game. Clipper guard Ron Harper, whose vocabulary has consisted of "whatever" since he was suspended for making negative statements about the team, maintained his silence after the trade of Manning, his closest friend on the team. Harper had T-shirts printed up for the team with "Say What!" on the front and "Whatever" on the back. shot 61.5, got 13 points from Willie Anderson and had this comfort zone in rebounding: Dennis Rodman 9, Lakers 9. The Lakers slowed Rodman in the second period, but not the Spurs.

Finding a soft spot in the interior defense, San Antonio continued to shoot well and stretched the lead to 65-45 at halftime, Anderson accounting for 27 of the points. It looked a lot like the start the last time the teams met at the Forum, with one exception. The Lakers scored more than 25 points in the first half this time. The Spurs were in control and the home team got booed. At least on that Jan.

9 night, the Lakers made a second-half comeback for a respectable 95-89 loss. That possibility disappeared this time when the Spurs, and Del Negro in particular, broke into a quarter-long layup drill after intermission, hindered only occasionally by having to weave through another team en route to the basket. jtmi'itWi iT-s PASADENA ROWLAND HEIGHTS SANTA FE SPRINGS lf jfmnK dn jjkW eTlfaV fiGk jfff fff 461 afj, GBZl I'll actually get a chance to meet Dominique," Ellis said. "I watched Dominique playing and my best friend is crazy about him." Although Wilkins, 34, is seven years older than Manning, who was having the best season of his six-year NBA career, and is shooting a career-low 43.2 this season, the Clippers insist that they made a good trade. "We exchanged a superstar for a superstar," forward Loy Vaught said.

"Now we just have to learn how Dominique plays and learn how to support him." Meanwhile, Wilkins thinks the Hawks mishandled the trade. "I'm bitter, and a little mad, too," Wilkins said Friday at a news conference outside his Atlanta-area home. "I felt I helped get this team to this point and then they disrespected me. The bottom line is that we were winning here. I was playing and I was having a good season." Wilkins was angry that the Hawks didn't personally notify him.

Wilkins wasn't home when team executives Pete Babcock and Stan Kasten came to his house. time in the last 15 games. Even if it means that, yes, Pfund might understand Smith feeling unsure about his role. "Maybe," Pfund said. "The main reason I took Tony out of the starting lineup was not because of defense.

He had, I think, 10 consecutive games where he didn't shoot 50. He was not shooting the ball at all. It became a real struggle. "I just have to try some other things. Tony had a good 10-game run, but he hadn't been going well lately.

Tonight, I thought rather than go with James Worthy or Tony that I would give a look at Reggie Jordan and see if he could give us a shot in the arm." Coming off a double-overtime loss Wednesday at Utah that ended their 13-game winning streak, the longest in franchise history, the Spurs quickly found their stride again. So quick that they needed only 7:10 to take a 23-12 lead. About a minute later, the lead reached 27-12, before dipping to 33-22 at the end of the first quarter. No wonder.
