Philadelphia lead the Eastern Conference First Round 3-0 with a championship-form 106-95 win over Washington. "That's the best we've seen them for a while," said an overwhelmed Washington coach Bob. "None of the tapes we had of them showed the fluid execution that we saw out there today, and frankly we just weren't prepared as well as they were. I take full responsibility for that; with better preparation we could have won. Instead they just took over the game and never let us back in."

Philadelphia was led by Ferguson (22 points, 5 boards, 1 assists, 5 blocks), Williams (23 points, 7 boards, 0 assists), Williams (11 points, 5 assists, 2 steals). Washington was led by Edwards (28 points, 2 steals), Langley (22 points, 7 boards, 0 assists, a block), Dirks (8 points, 2 blocks).
