Houston won the CVBL Finals by beating Philadelphia 4-1 with a solid 115-95 win over Philadelphia. "I don't think we left any doubt over who was the better team today," said Houston coach Bob. "We pretty much did whatever we wanted out there, and I don't think they ever figured out what to do about Thompson's play."

It will be a tough task for Philadelphia coach Bob to get his team up for their next game. "We really came in believing that we had a shot to win this one, but obviously that didn't happen. They outplayed us from the start, and there weren't too many happy faces in the locker room afterwards."

Houston was led by Thompson (18 points, 18 boards, 2 assists, 2 blocks), Sims (16 points, 8 boards, 3 assists, 4 blocks), Lewis (24 points). Philadelphia was led by Ferguson (22 points, 6 boards, 2 assists, 3 blocks), Williams (24 points, 0 assists), Conard (16 points, a block).
