CVBL: Sacramento Gets Solid 100-78 Win
A collapse by Miami led to a 100-78 beating by Sacramento, increasing the pressure on the Miami coach. Bob had to suffer through the game as his players were ineffective and his former fans were heckling. To make matters worse, the team was dominated by hated Sacramento, a bad thing for any Miami coach.
"That ---- man can't win a ---- game if his ---- life depended on it!" screamed one disgruntled fan, who is obviously tired of Miami losing ways. While Miami deny it, rumors about that they have already started a search for a new coach who can turn this franchise around.
It was just more fuel for the fire today when Sacramento took Miami behind the woodpile for a 100-78 whooping. Although Vegas was predicting a Sacramento win, many people believed the Miami certainly had the talent to knock them off. Keeney did everything in his power to help his coach, but in the end Stanford led the Sacramento to victory.
"You hate to see somebody with Bob's character go through this. It's just a sad sight," commented Sacramento coach Bob. "We're obviously delighted to get the victory over such a worthy adversary in a big rivalry game like this, and all I can do is credit my players, my assistants, and our fans."
Sacramento was led by Stanford (23 points, 15 boards, 2 assists, 2 blocks), Bravo (26 points, 2 blocks), Davis (15 points, 12 boards, 0 assists, 3 blocks). Miami was led by Keeney (19 points, 6 boards, 0 assists, a block), Fisher (7 points, a steal), Romero (9 points, 8 boards, 0 assists, a steal, a block).
Sacramento stand at 24-8 and 12-3 at home. They hold at #1 in the Pacific and hold at #1 overall in the Western Conference. Miami stand at 14-16. They move down to #2 in the Southeast and move down to #8 overall in the Eastern Conference.
