WHO'S HOT? The Roanoke Dazzle has won five straight to move into position to host a semi-final game in the postseason. The Albuquerque Thunderbirds have won five of six.

WHO'S NOT? The Florida Flame has lost six in a row and dropped from second to sixth place.

THEY SAID IT: "Our mindset is to win them all." Albuquerque's T.J. Cummings told the Albuquerque Tribune in regard to what the Thunderbirds need to do to secure a host spot in the upcoming D-League postseason with five of the last six regular season games on the road.

ANYTHING ELSE FOR YOU? Roanoke guard Anthony Grundy not only leads the league in scoring (23.0) and steals (2.5), but has averaged 13.5 assists in his last two games while filling in at the point for Will Bynum, who was called-up to the Golden State Warriors. For good measure he became the first player in D-League history to score 1,000 points in a season with a 3-pointer in the first quarter at Florida on Saturday.

46 FOR VICTOR(Y): Roanoke forward Isiah Victor poured in a league single-game season high 46 points as Roanoke won at Florida on Saturday. Victor finished just three points shy of the single-game record for points, held by current Washington Wizard Billy Thomas, who scored 49 as a member of the Greenville Groove on March 22, 2003 against the Asheville Altitude.

SONIC BLAST: Since returning from a GATORADE Call-Up to the Seattle SuperSonics three games ago, Austin forward Marcus Fizer is averaging 40.0 points and 8.0 rebounds.

LUKE'S A BULL: After a pair of 10-day contracts, the Chicago Bulls have signed Fort Worth Flyers center Luke Schenscher for the remainder of the season. The 7-1, 265-pound rookie has appeared in 10 games since joining Chicago, averaging 2.2 points and 2.0 rebounds in 9.2 minutes per game.

ANDRE'S SECOND 10: The Toronto Raptors have signed former Florida Flame guard Andre Barrett to a second 10-day contact. Barrett signed his first 10-day with the Raptors on March 15 and has appeared in five games for Toronto, averaging 4.0 points and 2.8 assists in 17.2 minutes.
