Henderson led Detroit to a big 118-105 win over Oklahoma Cty in this evening's matchup. "We figured we could play with them, but Henderson really surprised us," said Oklahoma Cty coach Bob. "He really took us out of our game plan, and we never really figured out how to stop him. We'll just have to hope for a more normal performance next time we meet, and hopefully the final tally will be a little closer."

Detroit coach David Smith was enthusiastic about his star's performance. "That was really something, wasn't it? Certainly we take a realistic expectation into each game, but it really gives the whole team confidence to know that Henderson can pull off a game like he did today."

Detroit was led by Henderson (17 points, 23 boards, 1 assists, a steal, a block), Kay (18 points, 7 assists, a steal, a block), Graham (24 points, 3 blocks). Oklahoma Cty was led by Golden (19 points, 13 boards, 1 assists, 2 blocks), Hodges (21 points, 0 assists, 2 steals), Stanford (21 points).
