Washington players could only shake their heads in amazement after being blown out by Brooklyn, 93-65. In addition to a great game by Olson, coach Bob had his team prepared perfectly and appeared to be reading the mind of Washington coach Bob. Whatever Bob tried failed miserably, and the end result was a blowout that will stick in the minds of both sides until they meet again.
