Minnesota served notice that their time has come, thanks to an impressive 104-85 win over New York. "I think a lot of people have overlooked us," said Coach Bob after the game. "Maybe with this game and a few more quality wins, the rest of the league will start to take notice." New York certainly took notice today, as losing coach Bob said "We really expected to put on a better game than this. But Minnesota were just too good."
