Sims led Houston to a big 122-110 win over Miami in this evening's matchup. "We figured we could play with them, but Sims really surprised us," said Miami 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."

Houston 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 Sims can pull off a game like he did today."

Houston was led by Sims (22 points, 7 boards, 6 assists, 2 steals, 4 blocks), Vigil (11 points, 5 boards, 14 assists, a steal), Battle (21 points, 9 boards, 1 assists, a steal, 2 blocks). Miami was led by Fisher (10 points, 17 assists, 7 steals), Jackson (24 points, 6 boards, 0 assists, 2 blocks), Lisa (27 points, 0 assists, a steal).
