DALLAS 79, PHILADELPHIA 76 (OVERTIME)
DEMONS OUTLAST PHOBIA
PHILADELPHIA -- In the best Featured Game this season, the home team Philadelphia Phobia gave the invincible Dallas Demons a serious run for their money before finally bowing in overtime 79-76.
Philly (now 1-2) led Dallas (now 3-0) 35-32 at halftime, thanks mainly to the heroics of forward Turk Attaturk, who had 17 points, 4 boards, 2 steals, 2 blocked shots and 1 assist at the break.
The visitors asserted themselves in the third quarter, holding the Phobia to just 8 points and taking a 53-47 lead into the final stanza.
They looked like they were pulling away with ease, up by 10 with 50 time units left, until Philadelphia inserted Oblio Assbag into the lineup, essentially to see if he could slow down the red-hot Juzan Djinn. Assbag then proceeded to score 10 points the rest of the way to help Philly put the game into overtime.
The overtime was almost all Dallas rookie point guard Vicious Hick, who scored 10 points on a trio of treys, one a 4-point play, leading the Demons to the win.
Game note: The record 132 consecutive game streak by Philly forward Wawa Wewa came to an end in this one.
