It has been a nightmare season for veteran coach Perez Suarez and his team. The bright points have been few and far between, as the team is looking for somewhere to hide. Today's game was equally painful, as the team opened up strong but collapsed down the stretch, failing to take advantages of numerous opportunities to get back in the game. Williams helped put the nail in the coffin today with his outstanding game.

"Perez Suarez talked a lot of junk before the start of the season." stated Indiana Williams. "They may be one of the worst teams in the league, but we know that everyone in that locker room wants to play just a little harder when they see Golden State on their schedule."

"Sure, they do stink." added head coach Coach Hitch, "but look at what happened when teams have been overconfident against them. Not that I can really blame them. If we were that pathetic, I think I would rather play all rookies and lose that way then be embarrassed."

Indiana was led by Williams (26 points, 1 assists, a steal, 2 blocks), Cato (19 points), Owens (9 points, 6 boards, 0 assists, a steal, a block). Golden State was led by Simmons (8 points, 11 boards, 2 assists, 3 blocks), Mcdougal (16 points, 2 steals), Washington (6 points, 1 assists, 2 steals).

Indiana have been victorious in the past 10 games and improve to 19-7 and 13-1 at home. They move up to #1 in the Central and improve to #1 overall in the Eastern Conference. Golden State drop to 8-16 with the defeat. They stay at #4 in the Pacific and hold at #13 overall in the Western Conference.
