CVBL: Portland Pulls Out Upset of Memphis
Portland trail in the Western Conference First Round 1-2 with a 110-91 upset of Memphis, led by King. "He really gave us the win," said winning coach Bob. "I think the rest of the team really felt intimidated coming in, but King showed them that we could pull off the win. You could really see the confidence build as time went on."
Scott paced Memphis, but his effort was not enough. "It's easy to blame the star when we come up short," said Memphis coach Bob. "But really, if we all played like him we'd have won. It's just that we sometimes take him for granted and sit around watching him dominate. Today's game served as a wake-up call for the rest of the team."
Portland was led by King (19 points, 5 boards, 7 assists, a steal), Hume (9 points, 9 assists, 3 steals, a block), Guerrero (21 points, 5 boards, 1 assists, a block). Memphis was led by Scott (8 points, 13 boards, 4 assists, 2 blocks), Calloway (16 points, 8 boards, 1 assists, a steal, 3 blocks), Dimascio (22 points, a block).
