SAN JOSE--Dominating the backboards and playing outstanding defense, the San Jose Fighting Amigos took over the finals opener in the second quarter and held on for a 70-60 win on their home court.
Philadelphia threatened momentarily to close the gap near game's end, mounting a comeback after leading scorer Cheetos Jones fouled out and going on an 8-0 run to close within four before the Amigos pulled away for the final margin of victory.
All five San Jose starters played admirably, with Funsy VanSlochum holding Jones to half his regular season point total, Cock A. Doodledoo and Saggital Occlusal ripping the cords for 20 points each, rookie L.B. Damned continuing his major offensive contributions with a 7 for 7, 15-point day and 16-year veteran Achilles Heel leading all with 9 caroms.
Occlusal and fellow Hall of Famer Boone Doggle of Philadelphia, garnered co-MVP honors for the game, with Doggle netting a game-high 21 points.
This marks the second meeting of the season between the two clubs; the Fighting Amigos also registering a 66-62 regular season win over the Phobia, who was missing Jones at the time.
