PHOBIA PUTS THE FEAR IN VISITORS
PHILADELPHIA -- After crushing Oklahoma City by 19 points in the final game of the regular season, the highly favored Philadelphia Phobia turned up the juice even more in the playoff opener with a resounding 31-point triumph over the Lariats.

There was never a doubt in this, the Phobia's first playoff victory in five seasons, as the home team made mince meat out of the over-matched Oklahoma City club. One for 13 shooting from beyond the arc by the Lariats did them no good.

PLAYER OF GAME
Philly forward SLOPPY DOLLOP captured his second POG in as many meetings against his old team, leading everyone in scoring with 24 points while preventing the most points of any player in the game. Dollop played rings around his opponent Goodbar Masterson, going 11 for 18 from the floor, including a perfect 2 for 2 from beyond and a trio of exceptional dunks. He led everyone in blocked shots with 2, tied for team-high with 5 rebounds and dished 1 assist in the massacre.

OTHER 20-PLUS GVP PERFORMERS
