Season 56 Finals ... Game 3...Milwaukee at Dallas

DALLAS 88, MILWAUKEE 68 (Slaughter Rule Enforced)

DEMONS WALK IT HOME

DALLAS -- The Dallas Demons swept through their third straight post-season, concluding with their biggest offensive output of the playoffs; an 88-68 victory over Milwaukee that secured the team's record-tying fifth title in a row and 10th overall.

As is their custom, the champs detonated their opponent in one of the quarters, scoring a scorching 34 points in the second to break open what had been a 19-19 deadlock after the first.

Head coach Buzzy Bazinski, who has known nothing but championship seasons since coming aboard five campaigns ago, used just six players, resulting in the only Slaughter Rule game of the post-season...and that came on a last time unit bucket by Vicious Hick.

This marked the 16th consecutive playoff victory for the franchise, which now looks ahead to a record-breaking sixth championship next season. This current title ties the record for most in a row held by Philadelphia.

Break up the Demons! That's the battle cry for the rest of the MBA.

The visiting Greyhounds did manage to have one of their players tie a playoff record, as Milwaukee guard Ehhy Table doled out 10 assists in the losing cause. He joins a list of four others who shared the mark previously. They are:

Season 5...Bullet Bob Sixgun of Charleston against Philadelphia

Season 28...Tubes Mullard of Houston against Seattle

Season 50...Hall of Famer Great Gruncle Terry of Los Angeles against Philadelphia

Season 51...Flufferton Springs of Los Angeles against San Jose

PLAYER OF THE GAME

38 GVP...MVP of the Playoffs the past two seasons, Dallas point guard VICIOUS HICK waited until the final game to deliver the highest point total for a single contest as he bombed Milwaukee for 30 points. The league's leading scorer during the regular season got to 30 on the final time unit, a medium jumper that kicked sand in the face of Milwaukee, making it a 20-point win, and thus, a Slaughter Rule Game. The All-MBA guard went 10 for 18 from the field, hitting 6 of 10 from downtown and going a perfect 4 for 4 from the foul line. He swooped in for 6 rebounds and added a pair of assists. He was trailing teammate Juzan Djinn for Playoff MVP honors entering the game, and as of this writing it's unclear whether he has enough to get his third in a row. If he pulled it out...the third-year man would be the MBA's newest member of the Hall of Fame.

Expecting a victory, the Demonettes cheerleaders sang a specially composed song by superfan Al Insignificant following the championship clincher. It went a little something like this:

Title: "Demons Dynasty"

(Victory Anthem of the Dallas Demons)

Dallas Demons, hear the roar!
Champions now, forevermore!
Blood, sweat, fire—we ignite,
Five-time kings, shining bright!

🏀 Verse 2:
From the first tip, we take control,
Breaking records, crushing goals.
No surrender, no retreat,
The Demons can’t be beat!

🚀 Bridge:
History’s ours, the banners fly,
Legends forged beneath the sky.
Demons never back away—
We own the court, we run the play!

🎶 Final Chorus:
Dallas Demons, hear the roar!
Champions now, forevermore!
Blood, sweat, fire—we ignite,
Five-time kings, shining bright!
