Detroit are ahead of Oklahoma Cty in the CVBL Finals 3-0, avoiding disaster and beating Oklahoma Cty 97-95 in overtime with the help of Delgado. After the game, Delgado was thrilled to get the win but upset with his teammates' effort. "I don't know what they were thinking at the start. I guess they thought our reputation would get us the win, but it looked to me like the score was 0-0 at the beginning and we needed to put some points on the board to win. Whatever it was, I had to yell and scream for half the game before we got any sort of team effort going. I guess it was barely enough - any less and we wouldn't have gotten into overtime to begin with."

Oklahoma Cty coach Bob was impressed with Delgado, but disappointed that his chance slipped through his fingers. "We had our chances and didn't make the best of them," he said. "It's partly because of Delgado's play, and partly because of our own mistakes."

Detroit was led by Delgado (28 points, 21 boards, 1 assists, 3 blocks), Newman (17 points, 13 boards, 2 assists, 5 blocks), Fox (12 points, a steal, 2 blocks). Oklahoma Cty was led by Kimbell (26 points, 6 boards, 1 assists, 3 blocks), Stanford (26 points, 0 assists, a steal), Courtney (8 points, 5 boards, 0 assists, a steal, 2 blocks).
