Dakota Wizards News Release
BISMARCK N.D., January 12, 2007 - Led by forwards Quemont Greer and James Maye, who each poured in 21 points, the Dakota Wizards won their sixth straight game with a 119 - 99 vistory tonight over the Tulsa 66ers.
The Wizards, who improved to 12-3 on the season, got off to a fast start shooting nearly 63% from the field to build a 65-48 lead at intermission. The second half was no different as the 66ers were able to only close the gap to within 13 in the fourth quarter.
"I was very pleased to see our guys start the game with a sense of urgency", said head coach Dave Joerger "Tulsa is a good team we just caught them on a bad night".
The Wizards had six players finish in double figures, including guard Dontell Jefferson who registered his first double-double on the season with 17 points and 11 assists off the bench. Newly acquired center Rod Benson also finished with 17 points.
Tulsa, who falls to 9-10 on the year, was led in scoring by guard Denham Brown with 27 points. On a brighter note, the 66ers had two players record a double-double on the night, forward Mike Hall scored 15 points and added 12 boards while last week's D-League Performer of the Week Will Conroy finished with 14 points and 15 assists.
The Wizards have a day off before hosting the Anaheim Arsenal at the Bismarck Civic Center on Sunday at 6pm CST. The 66ers travel back home on Saturday to face the Colorado 14ers at 7pm CST.
