DALLAS 74, SAN JOSE 54 (Slaughter Rule Enforced)
DALLAS DEMONS DOMINATE
DALLAS--Three-time defending champion Dallas handed visiting San Jose its head on the way to a 74-54 Slaughter Rule victory to begin its Season 55 playoff run.
San Jose, which was held to 44.4 percent shooting and out-rebounded 31-18, actually led 11-10 early in the game before the Demons ripped off 12 consecutive points to end the first quarter, signaling the start of the ass-whooping.
PLAYER OF THE GAME
31 GVP...Former playoff MVP PETE "THE STEAKMAN" MARZANO got his post-season off to an outstanding start as he dominated Scobee Bryant of San Jose on the way to a game-high 24-point performance that included a game-high 5 blocked shots. Marzano nearly doubled his regular-season average of 12.2 points per game, going 11 for 16 from the floor and repeatedly burning the Amigos with one short jump shot after another. The 6-8 fourth-year small forward was 0 for 2 from deep, slammed one home and was 2 for 3 from the foul line. Besides killing it defensively, he added 2 rebounds.
