Utah toppled Portland 4-1 to continue to the Western Conference Semifinals. They defeated Portland last night by a score of 93-89 and proved that they are not done winning just yet. They have come under scrutiny lately, despite the fact that they have continued winning. Coach Coach Young said after the game that "We just can't impress the sportswriters enough, I guess. No matter how we perform during the game, there are going to be reasons to complain."

Portland coach Bob couldn't agree more. "This is a good team. The better team just won tonight, that's all. Go write your story."

Utah was led by Robinson (20 points, 8 boards, 2 assists, 2 blocks), Hill (17 points, 12 boards, 3 assists), Perkins (21 points, 2 assists, 2 blocks). Portland was led by Smith (27 points, 11 boards, 0 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks), Mcneil (29 points), Seger (6 points, 9 boards, 0 assists, a block).
