Season 55 Featured Game No. 6...Dallas at Charleston

DALLAS 84, CHARLESTON 52

DEMONS EXACT REVENGE

CHARLESTON -- This was more of an execution than a game as the three-time-defending champions from Dallas (now 5-1) continued their inevitable march to a fourth consecutive championship with an 84-52 ass-whipping of the Charleston Mountaineers (now 3-3).

The 32-point victory for the Demons was extreme payback for their only loss this season...a confounding 89-69 defeat at the hands of these same Mountaineers.

It was the third straight loss for a spiraling Charleston team and a fourth consecutive triumph for Dallas. 

PLAYER OF THE GAME

30 GVP...Dallas Hall of Fame guard JUZAN DJINN racked the his third triple-double of the season and sixth of his storied career, resulting in a third POG honor in his last four contests. The third POG ties him with Pinky Toe of Los Angeles and Chochky Galumpkus of Seattle for the league lead in that department. The six-season veteran 16 points were actually below his 17-per-game average entering the contest, and his shooting was a tad off, going 8 for 17 from the floor (0 for 2 from deep). But, of course, the stat-stuffing Djinn more than made up for that with a game-high 7 blocked shots, 6 rebounds and 1 assist, putting his personal stamp on the victory and destroying his one-time running mate Kopi Luwak in the process. After 6 completed brackets, Djinn is at the top of the list to repeat as league MVP.

Other 20-plus GVP performers (nobody from Charleston)

28 GVP...Dallas small forward Pete "the Steakman" Marzano...19 points...3 steals...3 rebounds...2 blocked shots...1 assist.

25 GVP...Dallas point guard Vicious Hick...18 points (4 treys)...5 rebounds...2 assists.

25 GVP...Dallas power forward Satan Israel...16 points (3 slams)...8 rebounds...1 assist.

20 GVP...Dallas center Biggus Dickus...13 points...3 rebounds...2 steals...2 blocked shots.

Bracket 6 Summary

--Philadelphia's pounding of Oklahoma City and the destruction of Charleston at the hands of Dallas secured second place in the East for the Phobia and they exchanged places with Oklahoma City, who dropped to third.

--No changes in the standings in the West

Next up

-- Bracket 7 starts out with Philadelphia at Milwaukee, which at first glance might be considered a mismatch. But Milwaukee, which is facing a possible exit from the city, is coming off of its first win of the season and played the Phobia tough in the season opener before losing 79-78.

-- The Featured Game of the bracket will be the last one...a cross-over contest with Seattle at Dallas, the two teams atop their respective divisions and the two clubs with the best records in the league. Dallas has to be favored, but Seattle has a chance to see how much of an opponent they can be in the post-season.
