A new-look Oklahoma Cty team shocked Portland today, winning 123-106. "Wow," remarked Portland coach Bob. "We came in thinking we knew what to expect, but we were sure wrong. [Oklahoma Cty coach] Bob really did his job preparing for the game, and has turned his team around. If they can keep it up, they'll be a force to be reckoned with."

Said Bob, "The players have struggled a bit with our system here. It's nice to see things finally start to sink in. I also have to thank Davis. I think some of the players were a bit intimidated coming in, but after he started dominating the whole team rode the wave."
