Maine 171 vs Jersey 174(W)

Maine gets close, but can't get the job done. The rotation of forwards continues for Maine, and tonights combination wasn't the right one. Maine had 3 people who had 30 or more points in their starting roles, and Jersey had 2 people that got over 30 led by Toni Kukoc's 38 points.

Toronto 177 vs Edmonton 197(W)

Super sub Rasheed Wallace steals the show in this game and wins it for Edmonton. Wallace said, "Our defense was a team thing, we watched a lot of film and saw how they operate. We tried to slow their offense down and get in their face on shots."

Vermont 157(W) vs Harlem 156

How do you spell disapointment? It could be spelled many different ways in this matchup. In a role reversal tonight Bryant Reeves exploded to have a great game, while Antonio McDyess had a off game for his standards! Vermont had a all around nice bench output, and without that bench output they would of lost this game.

Dublin 168 vs Endor 184(W)

Dublin kept it close, but just couldnt get that forth quarter push to win the game. Kevin Garnett ripped Chris Mullin a new hole in this game, with the mark of 42-11. If Mullin was able to play some defense or was able to do more on offense Dublin might of pulled out the win.

Forest City 224(W) vs SW 182

A respectable output for SW, unfortunately it came against power house Forest City. Iverson chucked up shot after shot on his way to 55 points. Mourning had a slow night tonight with 24 as he let Olden Polynice get some quality time in this blowout victory. Rod Strickland came back and returned from injury to put in 36 points

New Age 163 vs Pennsylvania 193(W)

Numerous of New Age's players thought tonight was a off night. In one way they were right, in the other way it was wrong! Three of New Age's starters just couldn't get going against Pennsylvania. Shaq, Malone, and surprisingly Ron Harper led the way for Pennsylvania tonight. New Age was paced by Chauncy Billups from the bench.

Atlanta 181(W) vs Calgary 164

Atlanta got everyone back tonight, Calgary did not get healthy tonight. It all turned out to be a major reason that Atlanta got the win. Calgary learned before the game that Vin Baker would be out 4-6 weeks because of a torn thumb ligament that he hurt against Pennsylvania. Dale Davis was forced in to start and was in awe against Juwan Howard and couldn't get going.

Oakland 211(W) vs Chi-Town 177



Featured Game


Oakland does it two games in a row. All of Oakland's players put in 20 points or more
and it led them to a big time win. Chi-Town playing without Patrick Ewing for their
 next to final game just couldn't get the right combination, Maurice Taylor struggled putting
in only 10 points. Webber, Barry, and Kidd all put up 30 or more points but it wasn't
enough.
