Sacramento tied up the Western Conference First Round 2-2. They defeated Minnesota last night by a score of 87-84 and proved that they are not done winning just yet. They have come under scrutiny lately, despite the fact that they have continued winning. Coach Bob said after the game that "We just can't impress the sportswriters enough, I guess. No matter how we perform during the game, there are going to be reasons to complain."

Minnesota coach Bob couldn't agree more. "This is a good team. The better team just won tonight, that's all. Go write your story."

Sacramento was led by Gilliam (32 points, 5 blocks), Bravo (17 points, 11 boards, 1 assists, 2 blocks), Stanford (8 points, 8 boards, 1 assists, 5 blocks). Minnesota was led by Daniels (16 points, 17 boards, 2 assists, a steal), Dirks (13 points, 3 assists, a block), Prince (18 points).
