Coming in as heavy underdogs, Dallas turned some heads today with a solid 110-92 win over Orlando. Said one broadcaster, "I didn't know Dallas were that good, quite frankly. They really haven't done much all season, but the way they came in and handled Orlando showed what they're capable of."

The thoughts were echoed by Orlando coach Bob. "We had pretty thorough film sessions coming into the game, and we never saw them execute that well. [Dallas coach] Bob did a great job getting them ready, and we'll have to see if this was a one-time performance or if they can maintain that level of play."

Dallas was led by Kay (19 points, 10 boards, 0 assists, a steal, a block), Meyers (15 points, 12 boards, 2 assists, a block), Burker (7 points, 10 boards, 4 assists, a steal, 2 blocks). Orlando was led by Thomas (25 points, 2 blocks), Small (7 points, 8 boards, 0 assists, a steal, 2 blocks), Rausch (10 points, 7 boards, 1 assists).

Dallas improve to 15-10 and 9-2 at home with this win. They stay at #2 in the Southwest and stay at #4 overall in the Western Conference. Orlando drop to 16-9. They stay at #2 in the Southeast and remain at #5 overall in the Eastern Conference.
