Gish led Charlotte to a big 101-85 win over Sacramento in this evening's matchup. "We figured we could play with them, but Gish really surprised us," said Sacramento coach Bob. "He really took us out of our game plan, and we never really figured out how to stop him. We'll just have to hope for a more normal performance next time we meet, and hopefully the final tally will be a little closer."

Charlotte coach Bob was enthusiastic about his star's performance. "That was really something, wasn't it? Certainly we take a realistic expectation into each game, but it really gives the whole team confidence to know that Gish can pull off a game like he did today."

Charlotte was led by Gish (29 points, a block), Plungis (22 points, 0 assists, 2 blocks), Horn (17 points, 6 boards, 1 assists, a block). Sacramento was led by Westbrook (29 points), Paskowitz (17 points, 2 blocks), Gomes (7 points, 8 boards, 1 assists, 2 steals).

With the victory, Charlotte stand at 26-14. They improve to #1 in the Southeast and improve to #2 overall in the Eastern Conference. Sacramento fall to 16-25 and 11-9 at home. They hold at #2 in the Pacific and drop to #10 overall in the Western Conference.
