Birch Run, MI (February 13, 2005) – The Great Lakes Storm lost today against the Dakota Wizards 106-96 (6.0, 1.0) to move to 22-15 on the season. The Storm failed to send a message as the top two teams in the CBA battled for the second time this week, with the Wizards winning both contests. Dakota won four-of-five on the road trip to improve to 24-12.

With Chris Porter not in uniform for Dakota, the Storm appeared to have the edge after an emotional win on Friday night.

Dakota maintained the lead in the second quarter and went into halftime leading 57-49, also winning the quarter 30-27.
