Exton led Charlotte to a big 110-91 win over Phoenix in this evening's matchup. "We figured we could play with them, but Exton really surprised us," said Phoenix coach Bob. "He really took us out of our game plan, and we never really figured out how to stop him. We'll just have to hope for a more normal performance next time we meet, and hopefully the final tally will be a little closer."

Charlotte coach Bob was enthusiastic about his star's performance. "That was really something, wasn't it? Certainly we take a realistic expectation into each game, but it really gives the whole team confidence to know that Exton can pull off a game like he did today."

Charlotte was led by Exton (27 points, 4 assists, a steal, 2 blocks), Murphy (14 points, 17 boards, 3 assists, 4 steals), Ziegler (27 points, a steal). Phoenix was led by Berry (5 points, 5 boards, 8 assists), Dupree (18 points, 1 assists), Boyd (13 points, a block).

With today's win, Charlotte stand at 2-0 and 2-0 at home. They hold at #2 in the Southeast and stay at #5 overall in the Eastern Conference. Phoenix stand at 1-1 with today's loss. They stay at #3 in the Pacific and drop to #6 overall in the Western Conference.
