STREAKING GREYHOUNDS FLY BY DALLAS
MILWAUKEE -- Delighted Milwaukee Greyhounds fans saw their first-place team take the fast track on the way to a 100-85 win over the Dallas Demons. The victory was the fourth in a row for Milwaukee and is the second 100-point game of Season 45.
Leading 29-19 after the first quarter, the Greyhounds took off to start the second quarter with a 10-0 run, leaving Dallas eating dust in their wake and trailing by 20 points early.
The third quarter saw break-neck scoring by both teams, who each scorched the nets for 28 points.
Not one free throw was missed by either team.
The Greyhounds ended up shooting a torrid 75.4 percent.
Milwaukee is now 5-3, with remaining games against Charleston and Seattle, both at home.
Dallas drops to 4-4, with games against Kansas City (at home) and Philadelphia (on the road). The good news for the Demons is that superstar forward Chip Battoe will be ready to play down the home stretch.
PLAYER OF THE GAME
LANNIGAN LORD HOBO, who entered this game a definite contender for All-MBA, saw his chances improve considerably with his triple-double performance, the third of his two-season career. The 6-6 Hobo scored 29 points on 11 of 16 shooting, potting the first 5 treys he took before finally missing his final shot from beyond the arc. He was 2 for 2 at the foul line. Hobo, averaging 5 rebounds per game from his guard position, grabbed 5 more in this win while dishing out a game-high 6 assists and getting 1 steal.
Other 20-plus GVP performers
-- Milwaukee's 6-10 power forward Ape Con Myth scored 14 points, tied for game-high in rebounds with 5, distributed 4 assists and registered a game-high 3 steals.
-- Nine-year MBA veteran forward Walter Sobchack is going to retire a first tier player when this campaign is over, but he's playing like an All-MBA star these days. Acquired from the new Kansas City team in a trade for guard Con Gusto, the 6-7 Sobchack has been a huge contributor to the Milwaukee success this season. Against the Demons he made all but one of the 15 shots he took on the way to a game-high 31 points. He added 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and a game-high 2 blocked shots to a magnificent ledger.
-- 10-year Dallas point guard Louie Subgum showed what he could do when he is not constantly in foul trouble. the 6-4 Subgum out-played the pride of Milwaukee, Fatty McButterpants, scoring 17 points, dishing out a team-high 5 assists and pulling down 2 rebounds.
-- Bingo Bango, the Dallas shooting guard, lit it up for 24 points, including 4 treys which were all made in the fourth quarter. He also had 1 assist.
-- If this was Dallas forward Al A. Orden's last game as a starter with the return of Chip Battoe, he went out strong. The 6-8 Orden scored 15 points, tied for team-high in rebounds with 4 and had 1 assist.
NEXT UP: A painful cross-over game for two Dave teams as Charleston (4-3) travels to Sacramento (3-4). The visiting Mountaineers can give their playoff hopes a major lift with a win that would tie them in victories with Milwaukee and put them one ahead of both Dallas and Philadelphia. A loss would not destroy Charleston, but it would mathematically eliminate the defending champions from Sacramento, who are hanging onto their playoff hopes by a c-hair.
