PORTLAND ADVANCES TO FINALS:
   The Portland Trail Blazers advanced to the NBA Finals for the 
second time in three seasons, defeating the Utah Jazz 105-97 
Thursday in the Western Conference final. Portland, which never 
led in the first half, built a nine-point lead in the fourth 
quarter. Clyde Drexler scored 18 points for Portland, which meets 
the winner of the Chicago-Cleveland Eastern Conference final 
series.
    
PENGUINS TAKE 2-0 LEAD:
   Mario Lemieux scored two goals to lead the Pittsburgh Penguins 
to a 3-1 win over the Chicago Blackhawks Thursday and a 2-0 lead 
in the best-of-seven Stanley Cup final. The defending champion 
Penguins have a nine-game playoff winning streak - they haven't 
lost since Game 3 of the Patrick Division final. The series moves 
to Chicago for Games 3 and 4 Saturday and Monday.
    
WHITE TELLS OF RACISM:
    Outgoing National League president Bill White says he is 
"bitter" and "mad" that racism is still so prevalent in Major 
League Baseball. The game's highest ranking black executive 
Thursday told the Black Coaches Association he has not been able 
to make an impact with minority hiring in the league. White says 
he has asked Hank Aaron, a Braves exec, to seek the NL presidency.
