Dallas 80, Charleston 59 (slaughter rule enacted)
DEMONS DISMANTLE MOUNTAINEERS
DALLAS -- After a first-quarter in which visiting Charleston used every last drop of their defensive energy, the defending champion Dallas Demons took control of the game and waltzed it home to an 80-59 victory.
Dallas is now 2-0 on the season while Charleston drops to 1-1.
PLAYER OF THE GAME
Although he did not have his best shooting day, Hall of Fame Dallas forward CHIP "THE CRIP" BATTOE still led all scorers with a 20-point game on the way to snaring the 9th triple-double of his storied career. Battoe, as usual, dominated Frog Morton of Charleston, sending him to the bench for his ineffectiveness at halftime. The 6-8 Battoe was 9 for 17 from the floor and 2 for 3 from the foul line, pulled down 5 rebounds, had 1 assist and blocked a game-high 5 shots. He finished second in the game in points prevented with 4. This is is second POG this season, tying him with Hunk R. Down of San Jose for tops in that department so far.
OTHER 20-PLUS GVP PERFORMERS
-- This is the kind of game Louie Subgum can produce when he doesn't foul out. The Dallas point guard scored 17 points, registered a game-high 7 assists, grabbed 2 rebounds and finished second in causing turnovers. He does not play like he's in his 12th season. He dominated Hurricane Furrwizard.
-- Taking over at the shooting guard for retired Bingo Bango seems natural for Dallas' Meat Pants Masterson, who fired up 17 shots on the way to a 16-point game. The 7th-year man also had 2 rebounds, 2 blocked shots and 1 assist.
-- Fifth-year behemoth GoToo Grot of Dallas scored 12 points, pulled down 7 boards and had 2 assists in a steady game against Hall of Famer J.J. Gargantuan at center.
-- Dallas forward Tiger Masterson grabbed a game-high 8 rebounds, scored 11 points, had the game's only steal and led everyone in causing turnovers.
-- Charleston shooting guard Cat Timol led the way for Charleston with 19 points, adding 3 steals and 2 blocked shots to his resume in this loss.
-- Charleston's Hall of Fame center J.J. Gargantuan managed 14 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 blocked shot.
-- Faku Sosume played an all-around fine game at forward for the Mountaineers, scoring 14 points and pulling down 5 rebounds while blocking a team-high 3 shots and dishing out 2 assists. Additionally, he accounted for a game-high 6 points prevented with those 3 blocks.
