What a fun run. Wallace was a stud, Z was always under control, and Hill is one of the underrated really good players we have had. Our big guys could stand to learn a few post moves from him.

Basically we beat a team with Vaughn, Pierce, Lafrentz, and Pollard - because Jerod Haase couldn’t hit anything. The days when the zone really was a great equalizer against more talented teams as we took away the paint and driving lanes and made teams play differently than they wanted to.

What a great game I remember my parents taking me clothes shopping. And throwing a temper tantrum to get home in time for the game. Good times.
