Season 52 Featured Game No. 6...Oklahoma City at Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA 92, OKLAHOMA CITY 77

PHOBIA SHOOTS 74 % IN ROUT OF LARIATS

PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia Phobia evidently have the Oklahoma Lariats figured out, besting them for the eighth consecutive time in the past four seasons, this time shooting 74.1 percent in a 92-77 triumph that was never in doubt.

PLAYER OF THE GAME

34 GVP...The only Oklahoma City starter to deliver in this game was third-year point guard KING CZARDINES, who led all scorers with 26 points and tied for game-high in assists with 6. Czardines added 1 rebound and 1 steal. He was nigh-perfect from the field, going 11 for 12 and potting 4 of 5 from downtown. The 6-footer scored 22 against the Phobia in the team's earlier meeting.

Other 20-plus GVP performers

31 GVP...Fourth-year Phobia forward D. Fenestration has really upped his offensive output this season with a move to small forward. Always fundamentally sound, the two-way star, fresh off his All Star Game MVP delivered a dominant 24-point performance here, going a perfect 11 for 11 from the floor that included 2 for 2 from long distance. His only foibles in this game came at the free throw line where he went 0 for 3. Fenestration also handed out 4 assists, grabbed 2 boards and blocked 1 shot. He destroyed his opposite, Buba Lipa.

26 GVP...Philadelphia point guard Dick Papers contributed 18 points, 5 assists and 3 rebounds to the convincing win.

25 GVP...12-season veteran Wawa Wewa dominated foul-prone Toilety T. Paper with a 15-point game that included game-highs in both assists (6) and steals (2). He also had 2 rebounds.

21 GVP...More dominance came at the shooting guard position for Philly, where Ehhy Table took it to Handsy Joe Potatoe. The 6-5 Table scored 15 points, tied for game-high in rebounds with 4 and handed out 2 assists.
