Season 58 Playoffs...SemiFinals Game 2...Los Angeles at Dallas

 

DALLAS 90, LOS ANGELES 77

DEMONS ELIMINATE L.A. AGAIN

DALLAS -- For the second season in a row, the 6-time defending champion Dallas Demons swept the Los Angeles Big One in the playoff SemiFinals 2 games to 0; pounding them decisively in Game 2 90-77.

Led by Player of the Game point guard Mini Carfartt and running mate Juzan Djinn, Dallas took a 9-point lead at the half and then proceeded to blow out the visitors with a 34-point third quarter, while Carfart spent much of the time on the bench. 

There is no doubt that L.A. missed its Hall of Fame point guard Vicious Hick, injured on the first time unit of Game 1. Carfartt roasted his replacement, Donnie Dupons.

The Demons, heading for their seventh consecutive Finals, await the winner of Philadelphia vs. Sacramento to go after yet another championship with a starting lineup that changed 40 percent since last season.

PLAYER OF THE GAME

34 GVP...Fourth-year Dallas point guard MINI CARFARTT posted one POG during the regular season, having his best campaign with a 15.8 ppg average. He's doubled that POG number in two post-season games, grabbing his second in as many outings and scoring at a 27 per game rate. In this game he started with a 10 point first quarter, followed by 14 more in the second before finally calming down in the second half for a grand total of 31 points. He was 14 for 19 from the floor (2 for 4 from deep) and 1 for 1 from the foul line. He added 2 rebounds and 1 steal. And for the second game in a row, the 5-10 Carfartt concluded the theft with a slam dunk.
