Ferguson led Philadelphia to a big 113-99 win over Atlanta in this evening's matchup. "We figured we could play with them, but Ferguson really surprised us," said Atlanta 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."

Philadelphia 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 Ferguson can pull off a game like he did today."

Philadelphia was led by Ferguson (14 points, 11 boards, 2 assists, a block), Sims (24 points, 5 boards, 0 assists, a block), Wilson (8 points, a steal). Atlanta was led by Jackson (12 points, 9 boards, 5 assists, a steal, 4 blocks), Worrel (20 points, 1 assists, a steal), Mcnair (12 points, 1 assists, 3 blocks).
