Atlanta pulled off the 123-120 upset of San Antonio today, thanks to a mistake-filled game. "We stank," said losing coach Bob. "We beat them around like high-schoolers whenever we played like we usually do, but that wasn't often enough. There's just no excuse for that type of play. I suppose we just got overconfident; I mean San Antonio isn't exactly a top-notch team. But we sure stank it up out there."

Atlanta coach Bob focused more on the positives. "Bob can say what he wants, but we really managed to knock them out of their usual plan. Would that have happened if they weren't playing anybody? He makes it sound like they gave the game away, but the truth is that we played with them the whole way and were in position to capitalize when our chances came."

Atlanta was led by Chandler (26 points, 12 assists, 3 steals), Monnett (8 points, 5 boards, 6 assists, 3 steals), Laws (24 points, 0 assists, a block). San Antonio was led by Mackey (29 points, 7 boards, 3 assists, 2 steals), Lanham (25 points, 1 assists, a steal, a block), Logan (18 points, 10 boards, 0 assists, 2 blocks).
