Featured Game No.4...Charleston at Dallas

Dallas 82, Charleston 51
Demons demoralize first-place Charleston by 31 points
DALLAS--The Dallas Demons made a strong case for being the MBA's best team of Season 45 with an 82-51 decimation of the previously unbeaten Charleston Mountaineers. Charleston never scored more than 13 points in any quarter, shooting just 44.2 percent from the field, while the Demons were potting 68.5 percent of their shots and wreaking turnover havoc on the visitors.

Both teams are now 3-1, with Charleston still clinging to first place by virtue of division wins (3-2), but the Demons left little doubt who the better looking team was on this particular night. The win by Dallas means there are no unbeaten teams in the MBA.

It was the biggest beat-down suffered by any team this season.

PLAYER OF THE GAME
Dallas forward CHIP "THE CRIP" BATTOE moved from his regular small forward spot to play big forward in this one, capturing his league-leading third POG this season. The league's leading scorer, Battoe put up a game-high 21 points pulled down 5 rebounds and batted away 4 enemy shots, also a game-high. He destroyed Charleston forward Frog Morton, who had been the Mountaineers' top scorer, limiting him to 11 points. After a slow start, Battoe finished with 10 of 15 from the floor and 1 of 1 from the foul line.

Other 20-plus GVP performers

-- The behemoth that is 7-2 Dallas center Gotoo Grot continued his best campaign with 14 points, a game-high 9 rebounds, 2 blocked shots, 1 assist and 1 steal. He's making a strong bid to play in his first All Star Game.

NEXT UP: A cross-over game ends Bracket No. 4 with Oklahoma City (2-1) looking to improve on its early-season success with a win over the win-less new kids, the Kansas City Bastard Angels. This game is no lock, however, with the BAs competitive in all three of their losses.
