Season 54 Playoffs...SemiFinals Game 2...Dallas at Los Angeles

 DALLAS 94, LOS ANGELES 64

DEMONS BELITTLE BIG ONE

LOS ANGELES -- The Whiz Kids from Dallas made short work of the Los Angeles Big One, crushing their spleen 94-64 to sweep the SemiFinals and set themselves up for a shot at their third successive championship.

The competitive portion of the game was over by the end of the first quarter, with Dallas leading 28-18. The Demons destroyed L.A. on the boards, more than doubling their opponent's rebounding total, 28-12. 

The Los Angeles fans had to be satisfied with watching another outstanding head-to-head battle between their own Pinky Toe and Dallas point guard Vicious Hick. The Rookie of  the Year, Toe, got game honors with Player of the Game with a 30-point explosion, while Hick nailed down the first triple-double of this post season.

This was the final game of D. Fenestration's gallant career. Immediately after the game was over, he jumped through the window of his 12-story condo, to his demise.

PLAYER OF THE GAME

37 GVP...Rookie of the Year and All-MBA guard PINKY TOE of Los Angeles showed out for the home crowd, scoring a game-high 30 points, dishing a team-high 4 assists and pulling down 3 rebounds in a losing effort. The 30 points represents the top scoring game thus far in this season's playoffs. Going head-to-head again against the league's other young guard stud, Vicious Hick, Toe put his team on his back, going 12 for 19 from the floor, bombing in 4 treys in 9 tries and going 2 for 3 from the foul line. This performance tied a bow on a first-rate rookie campaign.

NEXT UP: Two-time defending champion Dallas and Oklahoma City have been on a Finals collision course since last season when the Demons outlasted the Lariats 3 games to 2, with the last game an overtime thriller. Dallas has won both encounters during the regular campaign, each by 4 points, and has the home court advantage. They are at least 4 to 1 favorites. They have a chance to become just the third team to three-peat. These are the two top offensive and defensive teams in the MBA. It is the first time since Dallas met Sacramento in the Finals in consecutive seasons (46 and 47, both won by Dallas) that the runner-up is back for a rematch.
