CVBL: Sacramento 99, Utah 78
Sacramento toppled Utah 4-0 to continue to the Western Conference Semifinals, upstaging Utah 99-78. Showing more glitter than a Brittany Spears concert, perfect Sacramento execution, a brilliant game by Stanford, and impeccable play-calling by Bob provided all the right ingredients for a big win.
Patton was key for Utah, but after the game he looked like somebody had just run over his dog. "I thought we could do it. The whole game I was still thinking we were going to win. I guess that's the difference between thinking it and doing it. Give Sacramento credit - they are nothing but class. I just feel sorry for coach Coach Young. He had us ready and we let him down."
Sacramento was led by Stanford (14 points, 22 boards, 1 assists, a steal, 2 blocks), Davis (19 points, 9 boards, 1 assists, a block), Sherrill (18 points, 9 boards, 1 assists, a block). Utah was led by Patton (23 points, 2 blocks), Sparenberg (7 points, 7 assists, a steal), Feaster (11 points, 7 boards, 0 assists, a block).
