Although Ford managed 14 points, he could muster only two of them in the game's first 45 minutes. And by then, Phoenix had a commanding 17-point bulge.
FORD CONNECTED on two three-point shots in the final two minutes as Kansas City chipped away in vain at the sun's 'lead.'
But there was little doubt about the game's outcome.
The Suns once again were able to preventORD from penetrating the lake and using it to create a new playoff series like they did in last year's playoff series, so far, keepingORD outside has been a win for the Suns.
beaten Kansas City 13 out of the last 16 games.
The Sun's transitional game proved to be the big difference.
FOR THE MOST part, the Kings were given a game of force them into a half-court game. But when given the opportunity, the Suns were able to put together two critical plays.
The first explosion, courtesy of Paul Westphal, Robinson and The Busse, occurred at the Walt Disney Center quarter. With Kansas City city trailing, 47-41, Westphal made a fingerprint lay in while the explosion was under control.
Westphal, who led the Suns with 23 points,
converted the three-point play to give
Phoenix a 50-41 advantage.
Then Robinson scored three field goals, the last one resulting in another three-point
play. After Buse launched a successful three-point bomb, the Suns led 60-41.
THANKS TO SOME good defense and hatem
Robinize, the Kings fought back, Birding
and Robbine, who scored 23 and 16
respectively, helped Kansas City claw back
The Kings shot only 30 percent from the field and 50 percent from the charity line in the first half, but trailed by only nine. 41-32
But the Kings never got closer until Ford make good on 2 three-point missile with one second left in the game.
The Sun's second spurt, highlighted by Westphal's two-hand slam, gave Phoenix a 93-76 lead and the victory.
In the second half, Birdsdon and Robinizine got no support from their teammates. Wednesday, after scoring 10 in the first half, Birdsdon scored 12, but three three Kings could reach double figures.

Kansas City Royal plans differ during strike
FORT MYERS, Fla. (UPI) — The Kansas City Royals are uncertain of what to do before baseball season opens next week. The exhibition season ended Tuesday with a decision by the Baseball Players Association resting the rest of the exhibition schedule.
At last count, player representative Jerry Terrell and 15 other players said they would remain in spring training camp to work out, 10 said they would leave and two, including
All-Star third baseman George Brett,
remained undecided.
The Royals are keeping their camp open on a "voluntary basis," but since the vote will be counted, the club can cancel the rest of the exhibition games the club is not paying expenses for the players
"We are divided in what we are going to do," said first baseman Pete LaCock, the Royals' alternate player representative.
LaCock, who plans to leave the camp, said, "I made the recommendation to the players to whatever they want.
"Expenses cost $500 a week. I personally can't afford it."
The players held a closed team meeting yesterday. LaCock left the meeting once to invite manager Jim Frev to give his views.

Later, LaCock left to job Joe Burke,
general manager, to ask when the team
"I want to play baseball," said Terrrell, the only major leaguer to vote against the team. "I will be dumb if it as a utility player I thought I had to win." They then the most time and every chance to make a better decision on me. We still have to think, so obviously I should stick back."

IN THE SPRINT events, a stacked KU player and Bobby Lobos, both former Alabama, An American, the Blue Skates and Darrell Warner in the 100-64 game with the same corps also running in 280-280.
In the team's debut last week, at the LSU Initials' the 'Hawks finished fifth in the 10-tour team.肌 KU rode Doe Hogan's first-place run in the 400-meter run and a victory by the mile relay team to capture the national title in California, with 143 points, won the meet.
This week, Hogan will team with Rodney Bullock and Stain Whitaker as the KU threat in the 400. In other events this weekend, the Jayhawks will send Leonard Martin, Keith Bodher and Tim Gumley in the 800-meters, joining Brent Swanson in the 1,500-meters.
Matt Friedemann will be KU's lone entry in the discus, and Mike Morse and Tim Friess will compete in the invelin.

Freshman Jim Scannella will be the 'Hawks' hope in the high hurdles. Scannella will also compete in the 40-meter race, as well as teaming with fellow freshman Steve Killen.
Coming off an impressive season-opener last weekend in Louisiana, the KU track team takes its road show to Texas and Georgia, where it breaks at least one ongoing standings.
At the Texas Relays, one third of the Texas-Kansas-Drake "Midwestern Triple Crown" circuit, KU will be going after a relay in the two-mile relay.
KU coach Bob Timmons will direct the two-mile relay team and deactivation of the camera on the Relays in Austin, while assistant coach Roger Brown leads the majority of the KU team.
And they just might have the right combination to do it.
SPEARHEADED BY NCAA indoor champion Mike Rocks, the Hawks will send Tim Tebow to the NBA game to tempt to break not only the United States, but world record, held by the Chicago Track Club. The record time is 7:14.0, set in May, when N.C. team, N.C. team has not run yet this year.
"Our goal is to set the American record and the coaches think we've got a good shot at it," Rucks, who didn't compete last week, said. "And we've got the guys to do it."
Also at the Texas Relays, KU will send Rainbolt, KU record holder in the decathlon, to commute.
One runner the 'Hawks might have wanted as part of the two-mile relay effort is Lester McKens. But Muckens, a runner up in the women's race, will remain in Lawnford for law practice.
"WE DID VERY well at LSU and we've been progressing very nicely." Bowie said. "We're spending our outdoors two weeks and there ten weeks all national, so we're sitting pretty good."
