CVBL: Denver Beats Chicago
Denver beat Chicago today, 103-95. But the big headlines in the game came from an incident involving Chicago players and coach Bob after the game. After the players disappeared into their respective locker rooms, Chicago players reportedly attacked coach, throwing him to the ground. Reporters waiting outside heard only pieces of the shouting, but the players were clearly upset by Bob's questionable calls late in the game. Chicago star Wilson was one of those involved, and was still upset about the situation during the post-game interviews. "I'm not free to comment on what happened," he said. "But I will tell you that I'm working my tail off every game and expect the same effort from my teammates and coaches."
Interviews with Denver players were a bit less exciting, with Davidson giving the cliche line "we're just happy to come out with the win. Coach Bob and his team gave a good fight, but we were the better team today."
Denver was led by Davidson (14 points, 7 assists), Beard (25 points, a steal), Hayes (8 points, 5 boards, 3 assists, 4 blocks). Chicago was led by Wilson (11 points, 3 steals, a block), Meyers (25 points, 6 boards, 0 assists, a block), Reyes (17 points, 0 assists, a block).
Denver improve to 54-18 and 29-8 at home after today's victory. They have won the Northwest championship and improve to #1 overall in the Western Conference. With today's loss, Chicago stand at 41-30. They remain at #3 in the Central and fall to #7 overall in the Eastern Conference.
