Season 54 Featured Game No. 6...Dallas at Charleston

 Dallas 92, Charleston 88 (OVERTIME)

WHIZ KIDS HANG ON IN OT

CHARLESTON -- The Dallas Demons (now 6-0) were pushed to the limit for the third time this season, but once again emerged from an overtime brawl victorious; this time 92-88 against Charleston.

This was a donnybrook from start to finish, with the surprising home team Mountaineers demonstrating that their record (now 4-2) is no fluke. 

The fourth quarter was classic, featuring 15 times that the lead either changed hands or was tied. The game was sent into overtime when Dallas guard Juzan Djinn got himself open in the short zone and hit a game-tying shot at the buzzer.

It was Djinn's clutch 3-point bomb with 4 time units remaining that put the game out of reach for Charleston.

Other close calls for Dallas this season were a 3-point overtime win against Philly and a 4-point victory against Oklahoma City.
