LANDOVER -- The only thing the Washington Bullets and Dallas Mavericks had on the line last night was who would wind up with the third-worst record in the NBA and the improved lottery chance that goes with it. But they played like it mattered, battling for every missed shot, every bad pass, every loose ball.Each had a streak on the line. The Bullets, the only NBA team with a better record on the road than at home, had lost five straight at the Capital Centre. And the Mavericks, with the second-longest road losing streak in club history, had lost 15 straight.

First came his old English teacher. Then his math teacher, followed by the school custodian and finally his guidance counselor. They waited politely in line to shake David Wingate's hand and revive memories of the time he had spent in their classrooms and as a member of the Dunbar High's national high school champions in the early 1980s."

SEATTLE -- They were back home, in a building where they had lost just five games this season. They had not lost three in a row all year. Coach George Karl kept promising that his team was getting close, and one figured that the Seattle SuperSonics, after an encouraging Game 2, could well be on the verge of playing their best game of this NBA Finals.Guess again. The Chicago Bulls came out having what Karl described as "killer eyes." And in a series where they have yet to play their best ball, the Bulls came awfully close last night as they built a 22-point first-half lead on the way to a 108-86 victory.

SHEPHERDSTOWN, W. Va. -- Here are some of the major problems facing coach Wes Unseld when he assembles his 1992-93 Washington Bullets tomorrow for their first full-scale preseason scrimmage at Shepherd College:* His starting center, Pervis Elli- son, is a true power forward.* His power forward, Harvey Grant, is a legitimate small forward.* His small forward, Larry Stewart, lacks the finesse for the position and plays more like a power forward.* His point guard, Michael Adams, is most effective as a shooting guard.

The Washington Bullets' tampering charge against the New York Knicks, who tended a six-year, $17.061 million offer sheet to veteran forward Harvey Grant, will be reviewed by NBA special master Merrell E. Clark Jr. in New York today, with a ruling likely by Thursday.At issue is whether the Knicks made the offer before July 1, the earliest date a restricted free agent such as Grant may be approached by another team.The Bullets contend Grant's agent, Jim Sexton of Memphis, Tenn., was contacted by the Knicks before July 1. The Knicks deny the charge.

BOWIE -- With his struggling Washington Bullets (22-47) having lost five straight and all but guaranteed themselves a 1992 lottery selection, coach Wes Unseld yesterday accused an unspecified number of his players 14l of competing for contracts rather than concentrating on basketball.After holding a scrimmage at Bowie State yesterday in preparation for tonight's game with the Indiana Pacers at the Capital Centre, Unseld would not name his allegedly distracted players, but said that he has met privately in the past few weeks with each of them.

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Pervis Ellison scored 19 points to lead five Bullets in double figures last night, as Washington beat the Orlando Magic, 106-93.Ellison hit seven of 16 field-goal attempts, five of five free throws, and grabbed nine rebounds as the Bullets (19-40) evened their season series against the Magic (14-45) at two games apiece. Ellison also had a season-high five steals and two blocked shots. Ledell Eackles (18), Larry Stewart (18), David Wingate (17) and Michael Adams (15) also scored in double figures for Washington.

LANDOVER -- This time a year ago, then-Charlotte Hornets head coach Dick Harter was trying to rid his team of Muggsy Bogues, a 5-foot-3 point guard whom he regarded as a defensive liability.But Bogues, a favorite of Hornets owner George Shinn, outlasted Harter and now is considered one of Charlotte's most valuable basketball properties."I know Denver was real interested in Muggsy to run their offense before they drafted Chris Jackson," said the Hornets' new coach, Gene Littles. "Muggsy has become very marketable for teams who like to run."
