A collapse by San Antonio led to a 99-84 beating by Dallas, increasing the pressure on the San Antonio coach. Bob had to suffer through the game as his players were ineffective and his former fans were heckling. To make matters worse, the team was dominated by hated Dallas, a bad thing for any San Antonio coach.

"That ---- man can't win a ---- game if his ---- life depended on it!" screamed one disgruntled fan, who is obviously tired of San Antonio losing ways. While San Antonio deny it, rumors about that they have already started a search for a new coach who can turn this franchise around.

It was just more fuel for the fire today when Dallas took San Antonio behind the woodpile for a 99-84 whooping. Although Vegas was predicting a Dallas win, many people believed the San Antonio certainly had the talent to knock them off. Ring did everything in his power to help his coach, but in the end Reed led the Dallas to victory.

"You hate to see somebody with Bob's character go through this. It's just a sad sight," commented Dallas coach Bob. "We're obviously delighted to get the victory over such a worthy adversary in a big rivalry game like this, and all I can do is credit my players, my assistants, and our fans."

Dallas was led by Reed (17 points, 2 steals, a block), Digiulio (15 points, 1 assists, a block), Simpson (8 points, 2 steals). San Antonio was led by Ring (29 points, 5 assists, a steal), Roberson (7 points, 10 assists, 3 steals), Mangham (14 points).
