CVBL: Phoenix Steals Spotlight from Toronto
Phoenix dominated Toronto today, winning by a final score of 99-76. Although the score was 0-0 at the start of the game, Phoenix quickly took charge and, aside from brief flurries of activity by Toronto, were never really threatened. "We were schooled out there," said Toronto coach Bob. "I mean it wasn't a blowout, but they sure were in control the entire game. [Phoenix coach] Bob did a great job getting his team ready for the game, and Berry was nearly unstoppable."
Phoenix was led by Berry (11 points, 6 boards, 5 assists, a block), Mercer (5 points, 10 assists, a steal), Martinez (16 points, 1 assists, a steal, a block). Toronto was led by Clark (17 points, 9 boards, 1 assists, a steal, a block), Battle (17 points, 8 boards, 0 assists, a block), Jordan (6 points, 7 boards, 2 assists, a steal).
Phoenix are now 1-0. They improve to #1 in the Pacific and advance to #1 overall in the Western Conference. Toronto stand at 0-1 and 0-1 at home with today's loss. They hold at #4 in the Atlantic and move up to #11 overall in the Eastern Conference.
