CVBL: Orlando Does What it Takes to Stun Toronto 113-100
Orlando fans watched in amazement, as their team was dominated throughout the game but came away with the 113-100 upset of Toronto. A frustrated Toronto coach Bob was interviewed after the game. "I kept thinking that we'd be able to come back and pull out the win. I mean we did everything right and controlled the flow of the game, but ended up just short countless times. Even as things wound down I was confident because we were so dominant out there. But eventually I saw that the better team wasn't going to get the win today."
Orlando coach Bob agreed. "I've been on the other end of this plenty of times, too. It's frustrating to watch when you've clearly got the better team out there but can't get the win. As for today, we'll consider ourselves lucky and be more than happy to get the win."
Orlando was led by Vancourt (27 points, 8 boards, 2 assists, a steal, 2 blocks), Wright (23 points, 3 assists, 2 blocks), Buchanan (22 points, 0 assists). Toronto was led by Wright (10 points, 11 boards, 4 assists, 2 blocks), Clark (20 points), Reed (6 points, a steal).
