Rookie a big factor

The fans came to Madison
Square Garden to see Earl
Monroe, the veteran guard
who was making his firat
appearance of the season.
But when they left Tuesday
night, it was New York
Knicks’ corps of youngsters
which had thern cheering,

Rookie centre Bill Cart-
wright took advantage of
Phoenix centre Alvan
Adams's absence due to a
sore foot to score a career-
high 36 points and grab 13
rebounds, leading the Knicks
to a 116-114 Natlonal

victory over the Suns,

Elsewhere, Boston Celtics
downed Detroit Pistons 118-
114 in overtime, Cleveland
Cavaliers beat San Diego
Clippers 115-112 and Loa

Angelea Lakers outlasted
San Antonio Spura 127-121.

“Cartwright was tre-
Tendous," said Suns coach
John MacLeod. “Every time
he touched the ball in the low
post, he was effective. We
tried three -or four guys
againat him, but we couldn't
stop him.”

Backup centres Joel
Kramer and Jeff Cook
weren't strong enough to
stop the 7-foot-1, 256-pound
Cartwright, and forwards
Len (Truck) Robinson and
Gar Heard weren't tall

enough.

But Cartwright wasn’t the
only New York player who
performed well.

Michael Ray Richardson,
New York's  rapidly-
improving, second-year

guard who inherited a spot in
the starting lineup from
Monroe, had his best game
85 a pro. He scored a career-
high 28 points, shooting 11-
for-16 from the field and 5-
for-5 from the line, and
added 12 assists, nine
rebounds and three steals.

And what about Monroe?
The 35-ye r-old guard spent
the first 25 games of the
season on the injured list and
he looked rusty in his season
debut —acorlng two points in
11 minutes and missing
seven of eight shots. .

But the fang didn't care.
They cheered his every
move.

Philadelphia Flyers have
not won in their last three

On home ice Tuesday
night, the Flyers rallied
from a 2-0 deficit to te
Boston Bruins 2-2 in one of

It was the remarkable per-
formance of Beston goalie
Gerry Cheevers that kept the
Bruins from suffering their
fourth straight loss. The
Flyers held the Bruins to
only 14 shots while peppering
Cheevers with 38.

“T thought we played an
outstanding hockey game,”
said Flyers' coach Pat
Quinn. "T couldn’t have been

more pleased with our ef-
fort.” .

Boston surged ahead on a
goal by Ray Bourque at 11:23
of the first perlod and
another by Rick Smith about
seven minutes into the
second,

But four minutes later,
Reggie Leach tallled his 15th
