CVBL: 103-81 Memphis
Memphis may have finally put an end to questions with a 103-81 win over Dallas today. The team has had its ups and downs recently, with some off-the-field incidents involving key players ruining the team's focus. Dimascio was at the center of the controversy, after being arrested for weapon violations just three days ago. His legal problems were sorted out quickly, but the attention drawn to the incident received more news than today's game against Dallas. Dimascio let his play do the talking today, helping his team put the unfortunate incident behind him with a solid game. "Definitely nice to be asked about a game MVP performance than about an arrest," he said later on.
Memphis was led by Dimascio (29 points, 3 assists, a steal, a block), Whitfield (17 points, 14 boards, 0 assists, a block), Manly (15 points, 2 steals, a block). Dallas was led by Kay (19 points, 8 boards, 1 assists, a steal), Meyers (10 points, 9 boards, 1 assists, a block), Scott (9 points, a steal, a block).
Memphis jump to 42-15 and 23-6 at home. They remain at #1 in the Southwest and hold at #1 overall in the Western Conference. After this defeat, Dallas fall to 34-23. They stay at #2 in the Southwest and remain at #4 overall in the Western Conference.
