Sacramento showed who was the better team tonight with a convincing 90-69 win over Milwaukee. Although not exactly a blowout, Sacramento coach Bob and his players outplayed Milwaukee from start to end. "I was hoping for a better outcome," said Milwaukee coach Bob during a post-game interview. "But they just overpowered us, and there was nothing we could do to adjust. Bob's team was more talented and better-prepared, and it would have taken quite a bit of luck for us to overcome that."

The loss was tough on Milwaukee fans, who had expected great things from their team after some offseason moves. "I think reality is starting to sink in," said one team. "We didn't expect to see other teams outplaying us this badly, but Sacramento sure made their point."

Sacramento was led by Stanford (11 points, 19 boards, 2 assists), Brown (10 points, 15 boards, 3 assists, a block), Sherrill (15 points, 2 assists, a steal, a block). Milwaukee was led by Fiore (18 points, 9 boards, 1 assists, a block), Nichols (10 points, 6 boards, 1 assists, a steal), Judson (8 points, 1 assists, 2 blocks).

Sacramento improve to 14-1 with the win. They remain at #1 in the Pacific and stay at #1 overall in the Western Conference. Milwaukee fall to 3-12 and 0-8 at home. They hold at #5 in the Central and hold at #15 overall in the Eastern Conference.
