Tulsa 66ers News Release
Tulsa, Ok - The Tulsa 66ers didn't just dominate the Expo Square Pavilion on Saturday night. The 66ers came together and played as a team in all aspects of the game. The 66ers fought to control the boards, the paint and the free throw line on their way to a 113-81 win.
The 66ers demonstrated their ability to triumph in the face of adversity as the city of Tulsa became a disaster zone this week as a direct result of freezing rain. There were approximately 246,000 outages in the Tulsa area and more than 600,000 statewide in what has been called the largest blackout in Oklahoma history.
Within the first five minutes of play, the 66ers dictated what type of game they wanted to play. The 66ers took advantage of Iowa who lost JamesOn Curry, the 6-3, 190 pound guard on assignment from the Chicago Bulls and dominated them with 32 assists.
Glen McGowan, a man on a mission, scored 16 points in his first game after being out due to injury. The 66ers led the Energy by 25 points in the second half on a trey by Jeremy Kelly with 3:34 left to play in the game.
"This feels much better," 66ers Assistant Head Coach Aaron Swinson said. "We worked hard the last few days wanting to turn things around and it was destined tonight. We must keep the intensity from start to finish, keep building what we have, and go from there."
The 66ers were led in scoring by Ramon Sessions, who finished with 20 points and seven rebounds. Adam Harrington added 16 points and eight assists and Dwayne Mitchell contributed 25 points for Iowa.
The 66ers will play their next home game on December 19th. Tip-off is set for 11 a.m. at the Expo Square Pavilion.
