Round 1, Game 2 Season 36...Oklahoma City at Houston

HOUSTON 85, OKLAHOMA CITY 60
IGUANAS BLOW AWAY LARIATS TO EVEN SERIES
HOUSTON--The Houston Iguanas used a 33-11 second quarter blitz as a launching pad in an eventual 85-60 triumph over the defending champion Oklahoma City Lariats to even up this first-round series.
The decisive Game 3 will take place in Oklahoma City. Both first-round series in this Season 36 Playoff action are going the distance as one might have expected.
The first quarter was defensive-minded and ended with Houston ahead 14-11. Then, to the delight of The Terrarium crowd, the home team exploded.
All-MBA guard T. Kanes Masterson led the way with a game-high 27 points for Houston, winning Game MVP honors and dominating the league's other All-MBA guard, Lemon Jell-o.
Along the way the Iguans tied an all time playoff team rebounding mark of 34 that the Houston franchise set way, way, way-the-fuck back in Season 9 against Milwaukee. League MVP Vic Hitler snared the record-tying carom with 3 time units remaining in the game.
Houston rookie forward Blue "Rondo" Alaturk came up with his second triple-double of the year.
Contributing mightily to the loss for his team was Oklahoma City point guard Walt White, who was as putrid in this contest as he was brilliant in his 31-point Game 1 performance. White missed his first 10 shots, going 1 for 13 in the first half and an eventual 3 for 21 for the game. He was 2 for 11 from beyond the arc, getting 10 points before getting injured in the fourth quarter and being removed from the game.
