Lacroix was unstoppable today, leading Detroit to a 90-68 win over Washington. "I've never seen anything like that," said Washington star Mulligan. "Lacroix just flat-out dominated, and there was nothing any of us could do about it." Agreed coach Bob, "He's an excellent talent with an excellent coach. I'm afraid that we'll be seeing more of him down the road."

Lacroix refused to get caught up in the excitement, however. "I just did what coach told me to do," he said. "And we couldn't have won without my teammates doing their best as well." While true, Lacroix certainly increased the margin of victory from a close call to a solid win.

Detroit was led by Lacroix (14 points, 13 boards, 1 assists), White (6 points, 11 boards, 2 assists, a steal, a block), Martin (14 points, 1 assists, 2 blocks). Washington was led by Mulligan (11 points, 9 boards, 0 assists, 2 blocks), Gavagan (15 points, 0 assists, 2 blocks), Hamilton (13 points, 0 assists, a steal).

Detroit jump to 27-15 and 14-8 at home after today's victory. They remain at #2 in the Central and advance to #4 overall in the Eastern Conference. Washington are now 15-24. They stay at #5 in the Southeast and stay at #13 overall in the Eastern Conference.
