this week “I thought we played well the first 22 minutes The last two minutes (of the first half) we got a little careless but we had an emotional pitch for those two games against Los Angeles and

seven — that on several occasions in the third quarter when Davis scored 15 of his 17 points Nissalke said he thought some of his players “think its over and they won’t be in basketball next year some guys know this is it They won’t make the team next year beause we’ll be much better” However he said Davis a guard out who played in the Continental Basketball Association the of those past two years
