Season 51 Finals...San Jose at Los Angeles

Los Angeles 88, San Jose 57 (Slaughter rule enforced)

L.A. DROPS THE BIG ONE ON AMIGOS

LOS ANGELES -- In one of the biggest massacres (if not THE biggest) in MBA Finals history, the defending champion Los Angeles Big One laid an 88-57 whooping on the visitors from San Jose, a contest that was not in doubt a few time units into the second quarter.

The win puts the Big One on the doorstep of its seventh MBA championship and second in a row as it now leads the best of 5 series 2-0.

San Jose's players left the tabletop in total disarray; not even bothering to get back into any semblance of order as they climbed shamefully back into their team envelope.

PLAYER OF THE GAME

43 GVP...Making a bid for Playoff MVP, Los Angeles small forward CRENTIS "THE" DENTIST absolutely destroyed whatever forward that San Jose offered up in an attempt to guard him. The 6-6 third-year man ripped the Amigos for a game-high 32 points on 13 of 14 shooting, delivering on his only 3-point attempt and going 5 for 6 from the foul line. Additionally, he tied for game-high in rebounds with 7, handed out 3 assists and blocked 1 shot in a stellar performance. The guy has Hall of Fame written all over him.

Other 20-plus GVP performers

30 GVP...Bidding for his second consecutive Playoff MVP award, Los Angeles guard Great Gruncle Terry can attain Hall of Fame status by the end of this post-season if he gets a ring and the top individual honor. It's hard to argue against Terry after he delivered just the fourth quadruple-double ever recorded in MBA history. The eighth-year man, who seems only to be getting better with age, scored 11 points blocked a game-high 6 shots, handed out a game-high 6 assists, pulled down 6 rebounds and added 1 steal. He absolutely disgraced and flummoxed Hall of Famer Jesse Shershot, the top scorer of his era, holding him to 2 measly points. It was a work of defensive art.

25 GVP...Los Angeles guard Flufferton Springs moved to the point for this game and flourished while doing so. The little lefty pumped in 18 points, dished 4 assists and grabbed 3 boards, totally out-doing his counterpart, Cremeofsum Yunguy.

25 GVP...After reading in the news that L.A. owner Tyler Masterson referred to him as a "cut-pile player," San Jose center Twinkles Spatula went out and had the only note-worthy game by anyone on his team. The 6-9 sixth-year man dominated Big One center Quick Tink. While Tink was scoring just 5 points, Spatula led his team with 20, while pulling down 5 rebounds.
