Sacramento showed who was the better team tonight with a convincing 104-93 win over Denver. Although not exactly a blowout, Sacramento coach Bob and his players outplayed Denver from start to end. "I was hoping for a better outcome," said Denver coach Bob during a post-game interview. "But they just overpowered us, and there was nothing we could do to adjust. Bob's team was more talented and better-prepared, and it would have taken quite a bit of luck for us to overcome that."

The loss was tough on Denver fans, who had expected great things from their team after some offseason moves. "I think reality is starting to sink in," said one team. "We didn't expect to see other teams outplaying us this badly, but Sacramento sure made their point."

Sacramento was led by Brown (14 points, 14 boards, 0 assists, a block), Bravo (21 points, 5 boards, 2 assists), Gilliam (17 points, 2 assists). Denver was led by Davis (12 points, 19 boards, 0 assists), White (11 points, a block), Parker (12 points).
