Houston lead the CVBL Finals 1-0. Houston star Thompson led the team to a win today in a key game against Philadelphia. 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, Houston fans don't believe it and turn out in large numbers whenever Philadelphia comes to town.

Houston was led by Thompson (15 points, 17 boards, 1 assists), Sims (16 points, 6 boards, 0 assists, 2 blocks), Evans (12 points, 2 assists, a steal, 2 blocks). Philadelphia was led by Ferguson (17 points, 16 boards, 0 assists, 3 blocks), Wilson (12 points, a steal), Norman (20 points, 5 boards, 1 assists, 2 blocks).
