FINALS --GAME 4--CHARLESTON AT SAN JOSE
Charleston Rebels 96, San Jose Fighting Amigos 58
Everything seemed set up for the Fighting Amigos of San Jose to win it all. Needing just one more victory in this best of five series, they were playing at home against a team that had lost a starter (forward Newty McNewtsalot).
But, strangely enough, like every other game in this series, it was the visiting team that won...resoundingly...to send the finals to a one-game championship back to Charleston.
After an extremely competitive opening quarter that saw both squads play high-octane basketball, Charleston led 24-21. But while the Rebels kept up the pace to register a 96-58 victory, San Jose found the going rough against the stalwart defense of the visitors.
The Rebels went early and often to Hall of Fame center Jonny Cockaroo, as the All-Leaguer scored 12 of his game-high 26 points in the first quarter. Fellow All-Leaguer, guard Benny Gumm, finally got untracked with a 23-point performance, and Jim Linzy, starting in place of the injured Newty McNewtsalot, grabbed a game-high 8 rebounds while scoring 19.
Only Saggital Occlusal shined offensively for San Jose, with 19.
It now comes down to a single game to see which of these franchises captures its first title

my money is on the rebels, i think they have a more talented squad if they can beat the amigos by almost 40...
have to give me a chance to get out there to make the new guys and play the rookie game, and maybe the season opener.
