Indiana looked like champions today, beating Boston 104-93. "That's the best we've seen them for a while," said an overwhelmed Boston coach Bob. "None of the tapes we had of them showed the fluid execution that we saw out there today, and frankly we just weren't prepared as well as they were. I take full responsibility for that; with better preparation we could have won. Instead they just took over the game and never let us back in."

Indiana was led by Cato (31 points, 2 assists, 2 steals, a block), Henderson (19 points, 8 boards, 0 assists, a block), Williams (19 points, a block). Boston was led by Flake (29 points, 5 boards, 1 assists, a steal, a block), Aguirre (27 points, 0 assists, a block), Williams (13 points, 13 boards, 1 assists, 2 blocks).
