CVBL: Sacramento Wins
Sacramento star Gilliam led his team to a win today in a key game against Oklahoma Cty. Although standings were at stake, the game was as much about bragging rights as anything. The teams have a long history against each other that began when coaches Bob and Bob traded insults after an apparently intentional injury to one of Bob's players. Although Bob has long denied that there was any malicious intent, Sacramento fans don't believe it and turn out in large numbers whenever Oklahoma Cty comes to town.
Sacramento was led by Gilliam (30 points, 5 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks), Brown (10 points, 13 boards, 2 assists, a block), Stanford (11 points, 11 boards, 0 assists). Oklahoma Cty was led by Golden (20 points, 15 boards, 1 assists, a steal), Hernandez (10 points, 2 steals, a block), Bell (17 points, 6 boards, 4 assists, a block).
Sacramento continue to roll and are now 12-0 and 6-0 at home. They remain at #1 in the Pacific and hold at #1 overall in the Western Conference. Oklahoma Cty drop to 7-7. They fall to #5 in the Northwest and fall to #9 overall in the Western Conference.
