"We were schooled out there," said Washington coach Bob. "I mean it wasn't a blowout, but they sure were in control the entire game. [Detroit coach] David Smith did a great job getting his team ready for the game, and Newman was nearly unstoppable."

Washington was led by Prince (5 points, 6 boards, 11 assists, a steal, a block), Edwards (25 points), Maxwell (19 points).
