Hardaway’s Season Ends With a Bang : Pro basketball: Golden State guard helps beat Lakers, 119-108. Now he will have wrist surgery.

The Farewell Tour reached its final destination Wednesday night, the Lakers’ doorstep serving as the end of the line. Just their luck.

This was hardly someone coasting to a halt, though. This was Tim Hardaway--a game after getting 30 points and 10 assists against Dallas and two after hitting Phoenix for 31 points and 15 assists--looking pretty close to vintage while saying goodby for now with 24 points and 12 assists to help the Warriors defeat the Lakers, 119-108.

“It’s too bad he didn’t decide to get that thing operated on yesterday,” Laker Coach Del Harris said.

Now, Hardaway will get that thing, that ligament damage in his left wrist, operated on. He won’t play again until 1995-96.

The send-off was more than the numbers. When Coach Bob Lanier took him out with 19 seconds remaining, Hardaway raised both arms in the air as he walked to the bench, greeted by hugs from teammates and a standing ovation from the 15,025 in Oakland Coliseum Arena.

“Just another game to me,” he said later. “Until after the game.”

And then?

“I got a little emotional. But I’ll leave it at that.”

What had been a home-team series the first four games--the Warriors won by 22 and 24 points in Oakland and the Lakers won by 12 and 11 at the Forum--finished that way in the season finale. Which is to say Golden State looked like the club everyone thought it would be.

Playing with the hand heavily bandaged, and with that wrap covered by wrist bands, Hardaway had five points and five assists in the first quarter, but soon became the least of the Laker problems. Chris Mullin and Donyell Marshall filled that void by scoring 18 points each in the first half, Mullin en route to a game-high 33.

That propelled the Warriors to a 68-57 lead at intermission, only two points shy of the most points the Lakers had given up in a half all season. This came two nights after Indiana scored 91 in the entire game at the Forum.

“We played poorly in the first half again,” Harris said after the Lakers lost for the fourth time in six games. “That’s been my only complaint with the guys the last 15 games. We haven’t concentrated very well on the game plan until we were behind.”

The Warriors were only warming up, turning that into a 17-point advantage only 61 seconds into the third quarter after Hardaway and Latrell Sprewell made consecutive three-pointers, then to a comfortable 20 at 90-70.

At least it seemed comfortable. The Lakers cut that to 10, 105-95, with 7:34 remaining, and then six, the last time at 113-107 with 2:46 to go. But that’s where a third consecutive monster comeback--the first two led to victories over Chicago and Indiana--ended.

Laker Notes

Elden Campbell has been back for three games after sitting out the two before with a sprained ankle, but he shows no sign of making a move to reclaim his job as the starting power forward. If anyone is pushing Sam Bowie, it’s Anthony (Pig) Miller, who began the night with three double-doubles in the previous seven games off the bench. Campbell played 11 minutes, getting six points. Bowie was in the opening lineup Wednesday for the fifth consecutive time, his only starts of the season, and Coach Del Harris said he has no plans to make a switch. “He’s done very well,” Harris said of Bowie. “The only thing is, I like to use him as a reserve because he comes off the bench with such energy. But I just feel some sort of loyalty to him for what he’s given us--coming in and playing with such heart when he has been hurt, when he gutted it out with the fractured rib. I just can’t sit him down, that’s all. I feel such an appreciation for that.” Looking to shake things up in the third quarter against the Warriors, Harris used three power forwards at once: Antonio Harvey, Campbell and Miller. Harvey guarded Chris Mullin at small forward.

Vlade Divac led the Lakers with 27 points and 14 rebounds. Bowie had 17 points and 13 rebounds, both season highs. . . . When the Lakers erased a 17-point first-quarter deficit to beat Indiana on Monday, it marked the eighth time they had rallied from at least 13 points down to win. Two of those--against the Pacers and SuperSonics--were after trailing by 17. . . . With Tim Hardaway headed to the sidelines, the Warriors will have lost 14 players to injury or illness.
