HOUSTON 75, DALLAS 61
The Houston Iguanas showed precisely why they are who they are in game one of this latest Texas showdown. The Iguanas shot a paltry 49.2 percent, which, usually, in the MBA, is a guaranteed loss...but won by 14 points.
They did it with a smothering defense that allowed the rival Demons just 50.9 percent shooting, out-rebounding their opponents 28-19.
Also, the Houston team featured balanced efforts from all five of its starters and excellent support from its bench. Nobody was spectacular, but all contributed.
The Iguanas jumped to a 20-11 first quarter lead, then trailed the Demons at the half 36-33 before finally dominating the fourth quarter 20-10 to coast home to a win.
Game MVP--Tubes Mullard, Houston guard, (18 points, 4 rebounds, 2 steals) and Zooch Managoogie, Houston forward, (18 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist).
Top rebounder--Davis Mastersoy, Houston center, 9 rebounds.
Top assist man--Jinx Bluzeman, Houston guard, 5 assists.
Top steals man--Jinx Bluzeman, Houston guard, 2 steals.

Oh, it was Houston that had the good defense?? Too bad that Houston didn't play Charleston first.
