OKLAHOMA CITY -- Following their total 72-53 dominance in Game 2 of this Season 34 Finals, the Houston Iguanas stand ready to tie for the best overall record in any one season. Should they fulfill the series and playoff sweep with a victory in The Terrarium, they will not only get their fourth title, and first since Season 12, but tie the record of the Philadelphia Phobia as best ever for one season. That Philly team, like this Houston team, was 9-1 in the regular season and swept through the playoffs with a 5-0 mark.
The Phobia champs of Season 15 completed a two-year reign atop the MBA and were led by a trio of Hall of Famers: Stu Nod, veteran center Rip Slamjam and rookie forward Cam Bodia, who would go on to earn a record six championship rings. Joining Nod on the All-MBA team that season was defensive specialist Mayor Quimby at forward and at the other starting guard, Phil Davia's Cicero barber Guytano Logiuduce.
In this second finals game, Houston was led by its trio of All-MBA players, Hall of Famer Hrundi V. Bakshi, soon-to-be-annointed Hall of Famer Ching-Chong Chung and center Sanjay Patel. Bakshi was the Game MVP with 16 points 6 rebounds, 4 blocked shots, an assist and a steal. Chung was the game's high scorer with 20 points and Patel chipped in 14 points and 6 boards, blocking 1 shot.
The Lariats will be getting back 17-season veteran center Achilles Heel for the next contest, but it may already be too late. Heel will be replacing the high scorer in this last game for Oklahoma City, Kevin Mickle, who had 14 points.
The Terrarium will be steaming in sweaty anticipation of the team's first championship in 22 campaigns.

Hmmm... I don't know. When Houston was 5-0, I think I said the season was over already. Seems like
I was right.

In, without argument, the most difficult division, probably tougher feat than when Philly did it. --Tyler M.
