CVBL: Minnesota Topple Phoenix 4-2, Move Past the Western Conference First Round
Minnesota will advance to the Western Conference Semifinals by getting past Phoenix 4-2 with a 107-104 win over Phoenix. Although some pundits were predicting a blowout, the two teams delivered a memorable game that left the fans on the edges of their seats until the very end. "It's one of those games that nobody should have to lose," said Minnesota coach Bob. "I'm definitely glad it wasn't us."
Phoenix coach Bob will be rethinking some of his choices for some time. "I thought we tried the right things at the right times, but of course hindsight is perfect. Obviously not everything we did worked, though, and in a game like this that could have made the difference."
Minnesota was led by Golden (22 points, 15 boards, 0 assists, a block), Daniels (15 points, 13 boards, 5 assists), Powers (14 points, a steal, a block). Phoenix was led by Berry (19 points, 9 boards, 2 assists, 3 blocks), King (18 points, 2 assists, 3 blocks), Martinez (19 points, a steal).
