DALLAS 79, PHILADELPHIA 69
DEMONS WIN WITH SURGE IN FOURTH
DALLAS -- The Dallas Demons (now 4-2) dealt the visiting, first-place Philadelphia Phobia (now 5-1) their first defeat of Season 58, using a strong fourth quarter to turn a closely fought contest into a 79-69 victory. The win split the season series between the two East Division front runners and brought the six-time defending champion Demons to within a game of the Phobia.
The loss by Philly makes Los Angeles the only unbeaten team in the MBA right now.
While Philadelphia, the top defensive team in the MBA, played hard-nosed defense, preventing 19 points by Dallas, free throws proved to be the main difference in the game. Dallas shot 13 more charity tosses than did the Phobia, going 14 of 15 at the line.

PLAYER OF THE GAME
39 GVP...The smallest starter in the league at 5-10, Dallas point guard MINI CARFARTT, grabbed his first POG of the season, scoring from all four zones on the court to produce a game-high 33 points. The effort was in direct contrast to the first meeting with Philly, when Carfartt scored just 4 points and fouled out in a 1-point loss. The little guy was 12 for 17 from the floor, a perfect 2 for 2 from deep and 7 for 7 from the free throw line. He also tied for the team lead with 3 assists while pulling down 2 rebounds and registering 1 steal. Defensively, he was the top player in the game at causing turnovers, with 3. The fourth-year player is now averaging 14.3 points per game.
