Utah overpowered Milwaukee today, showing who is the better team. Most around the league expected this kind of result, but Milwaukee head coach Bob was defiant until game time. "Underdogs, my ----. We've got enough talent and enough heart to play with anybody in the league." Afterwards, his tune had changed significantly. "We've got some work ahead of us before we can play at their level."

The only bright point for Milwaukee was the great play by Mcduffie, and Bob was quick to praise his star. "If the whole team had played with his energy, we'd have been able to play with Utah. The bright side is that we know what he can do against them, and we'll try to build on that for our next meeting."

Utah was led by Bush (14 points, 12 boards, 1 assists, a block), Bernard (18 points, 9 boards, 3 assists), Christie (12 points, 0 assists, a steal, a block). Milwaukee was led by Mcduffie (16 points, 7 boards, 0 assists, 3 steals, a block), Yates (15 points, 6 boards, 0 assists, 2 blocks), Ellison (7 points, 2 steals, 2 blocks).
