"Dallas Cheat Minnesota," screamed the headlines this morning after some questionable officiating in last night's contest. Even neutral observers wonder whether the set of refs will ever be asked to call another game, as Dallas got the benefit of every marginal call and a few others that were obviously bad. "The game was rigged more than the WWF," said an upset Minnesota coach Bob after the game. "You've seen the replays. I don't need to say any more." League officials were slower to jump to conclusions, but an anonymous source said that the commissioner was watching the broadcast and couldn't believe his eyes in some cases. "The commish was saying he could have made better calls off his 5 inch travel TV."

Dallas was led by Thompson (25 points, 16 boards, 2 assists, a block), Givens (22 points, 5 boards, 0 assists, a block), White (8 points, 11 assists, a steal). Minnesota was led by Daniels (15 points, 9 boards, 1 assists, 2 blocks), Dirks (17 points, 4 assists, 2 blocks), Smith (21 points, a steal).

After this win, Dallas jump to 12-14 and 8-7 at home. They remain at #3 in the Southwest and remain at #11 overall in the Western Conference. Minnesota are now 16-8 with the loss. They stay at #2 in the Northwest and remain at #5 overall in the Western Conference.
