PRO BASKETBALL—Detroit and Dallas went into tailspins and both were in peril of losing their division leads. The Pistons were winless in four games, beginning the week by losing 102-100 to the hapless Clippers and ending it with a 112-110 loss to Chicago. In that game Michael Jordan scored 59 points, an NBA high this season. Atlanta won four straight to pull within one game of the Central-leading Pistons, while the Bulls. 3-1 for the week, closed to within 3� games. Dallas also lost four straight as its Midwest lead dwindled to half a game over Denver, which ran its winning streak to eight games. Two of the NBA's biggest guns had a hand in the Mavericks' skid: Atlanta's Dominique Wilkins drilled them for 40 points in a 120-106 Hawks victory, and Larry Bird scored 32 in a 110-101 Boston win. The Atlantic-leading Celtics won their other three games while division also-rans Philadelphia. Washington and the Knicks battled for the eighth and final Eastern Conference playoff berth. Pacific pacesetter Los Angeles struggled through a Magic-less week—Magic Johnson is out indefinitely with a groin injury—by beating Sacramento 108-104 and splitting a pair (a 122-111 win in L.A., a 106-92 loss in Salt Lake City) with Utah. Seattle clinched one of the Western Conference's two remaining playoff spots with a 106-103 win over Chicago; San Antonio had the other berth all but sewn up.
