Foster had 49 points today, leading Brooklyn to a 115-107 upset of Cleveland. "It was an 'upset' in name only," said Cleveland coach Bob. "They were the better team today. Bob had his team better prepared than I had mine, and Foster was just too much for us to handle. It you didn't know the teams' records but just saw this game, you'd say Brooklyn was the better team by far."

Brooklyn was led by Foster (49 points, a steal, a block), Starks (17 points, 2 steals), Holmes (14 points, 1 assists). Cleveland was led by Gill (27 points, 17 boards, 2 assists, 3 blocks), Telford (15 points, a steal), Taylor (18 points, 6 boards, 2 assists).
