CVBL: Boston Clobbers Utah
Stubbs was unstoppable today, leading Boston to a 90-67 win over Utah. "I've never seen anything like that," said Utah star Bernard. "Stubbs just flat-out dominated, and there was nothing any of us could do about it." Agreed coach Coach Young, "He's an excellent talent with an excellent coach. I'm afraid that we'll be seeing more of him down the road."
Stubbs 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, Stubbs certainly increased the margin of victory from a close call to a solid win.
Boston was led by Stubbs (28 points, 7 boards, 1 assists, a block), Moffett (18 points, 0 assists, a block), Monnett (12 points, 2 assists). Utah was led by Bernard (13 points, 23 boards, 2 assists), Ensley (11 points, 3 steals), Smith (17 points, 0 assists, a steal, 3 blocks).
Boston broke their slide at 5 games, and improve to 29-17 and 18-5 at home. They remain at #2 in the Atlantic and remain at #5 overall in the Eastern Conference. Utah keep stumbling with a losing streak of 6 games and stand at 14-34. They hold at #4 in the Northwest and hold at #13 overall in the Western Conference.
