Dublin 128 vs New Age 179(W)

New Age comes out again and puts on another good showing. Majority of the players played well, the biggest disapointment was starting forward Cedric Ceballos for New Age. Shawn Kemp put up impressive numbers tonight, along with Rex Chapman off the bench. But Bryant Reeves was totally shut down by Dikembe Mutumbo, rumor has it after the game Reeves was deprived of donuts because of the hole he was for the offense tonight.

Maine 156 vs Vermont 185(W)

Vermont just to deep as they pull out the win. Maine who had a pretty solid bench output, had a stinker in the starting lineup in Byron Russell. Russell who was stopped by Keith Van Horn only was able to score 5 points. Arvydas Sabonis did well in his new role off the bench pouring in 34 fantasy points.

Chi-Town 174(W) vs Pennsylvania 156

Pennsylvania looks vulnerable as they play without Shaq. In what may be a wake up call for Pennsylvania, they go down with out the Shaq Daddy. Dan Garrett only put in a futile 12 points starting at center as Ewing poured in 30 points which prooved to be the major difference. Shaq is expected to play game 6. But if Shaq goes down again for a prolonged period of time, Pennsylvania better look for a proven backup. Chi-Town had a solid effor, led by Chriss Webber's 35.

Calgary 120 vs Forest City 200(W)

Familiar story for Calgary. But the output is better then the past. Calgary still slumping behind mediocre bench play stayed close in the first half, but Forest City's starters sealed the deal down the stretch. Allen Iverson had a nice game for the second night in a row, while Rahim did well for Forest City. Under rated Doug Christie put in a solid output against Olden Polynice. Ron Mercer returned from injury to pour in 32 points tonight.

Oakland 168 vs Atlanta 178(W)

Oakland cant get the job done on the road again. Road games spells Oaklands undoing as they lose by 10. Atlanta had a sweet ouput from all the starters, while Oakland, didnt. Charlie Ward continues to press for starting time while he poured in 22. Ty Hill had a great output from Atlanta's bench.
