TULSA, Okla. - Just one night after the 66ers broke the .500 mark for the first time in franchise history, the visiting Wizards hit the first shot just 39 seconds into the game and never looked back, beating the 66ers 105-81 at Expo Square Pavilion Saturday night. Dakota (3-1) got balanced scoring with seven players in double figures, while Tulsa (2-2) was paced by Mike Hall's 19 points and nine rebounds.
