Milwaukee 73, Philadelphia 46 (Slaughter Rule Enforced)
'HOUNDS HOWL IN PHILLY
PHILADELPHIA -- In some kind of deviation of the space and time continuum the visiting Milwaukee Greyhounds completely flattened the first-place Philadelphia Phobia in front of a jeering home crowd, 73-46, keeping their East Divsion playoff hopes alive.
The unexpected ambush tied for the worst beating of the season and set a Season 51 record for lowest point total by any team in any one game.
The Milwaukee win ended Philly's five-game win streak.
PLAYER OF THE GAME
32 GVP...Fourth year Milwaukee center LOTHARIO FARTLEK completely dominated his opposite, Taco Toosdae, setting the tone for a smashing victory. The 6-10 Fartlek led all scorers with 22 points, potting a near-perfect 10 of 11 shots from the floor and going 2 for 2 from the foul line. He also pulled down 2 boards and had 3 assists. But perhaps his main contribution was the game-high 5 blocked shots, which increased his league-leading total to a career-best 31 blocks and pretty much assures him of a third consecutive title in that category.
Other 20-plus GVP performers (none from Philadelphia)
25 GVP...Thirteen-season veteran Ape Con Myth of Milwaukee, https://www.apeconmyth.com/ was outstanding in this huge win, getting game-high totals in both steals (3) and assists (6) while scoring 12 points and tying for team-high in rebounds with 4. The trio of steals puts him in the league lead with 10, which ties his best total for any season.
22 GVP...Milwaukee small forward Entha Shortzone completed the front court domination for the Greyhounds as he held Wawa Wewa to 6 measly points while scoring 14 of his own. The 6-9 Shortzone added 4 rebounds, 3 assists and a steal.
