Philadelphia are ahead in the Eastern Conference First Round 2-0 after an easy 120-87 win over Washington that left the losers looking like they don't belong in the same league. The team is in a rebuilding phase, and from the looks of today's game it may be a while before they can be competitive. "That sure looked bad, didn't it?" said Washington coach Bob. "We knew coming in that Philadelphia is a great team and that we really shouldn't expect much at the moment. This will serve as a way to measure our progress when we see them next season."

Philadelphia was led by Williams (18 points, 3 assists, a steal), Eatmon (22 points, 0 assists, a block), Ferguson (14 points, 10 boards, 1 assists, a block). Washington was led by Patterson (16 points, 6 boards, 0 assists, 2 blocks), Edwards (16 points, 2 blocks), Dirks (10 points, a steal).
