Ok, I finished my first DICE Basketball game - and it was a doozy. The Rockets led 19-10 after the the first quarter and maintained the lead going into the 4th quarter.
But the Nets were able to keep it close and the 4th quarter was crazy. First, Mario Elie and Kevin Edwards are ejected for fighting. A little later, Vernon Maxwell and Rumeal Robinson trade punches and also get tossed. As if that weren't enough of the fisticuffs, a bench clearing brawl led to the ejections of Hakeem Olajuwon, Otis Thorpe, and Sam Cassell for the Rockets while the Nets lost Derrick Coleman, Armen Gilliam, and Chris Morris. So, that's 10 players ejected from the game!
With just 4 shots just in the game, Kenny Anderson hit a 3 pointer to make it a 114-112 game. After forcing a Rockets turnover on the inbounds pass, the Nets get the ball back to Anderson who ties the game at 114. With just two shots left, Scotty Brooks hits his only shot of the game to give the Rockets a 116-114 lead. The Nets, having the last shot of the game, were hoping to get the ball into Kenny Anderson's hands, but they had to settle for a shot by Dwayne Schintzius that missed badly. Rockets win 116-114. Whew!
* Hakeem had 20 points and 19 rebounds for the Rockets.
* Kenny Smith and Vernon Maxwell led the Rockets with 22 points each.
* Derrick Coleman led all scorers with 29 points and led the Nets with 11 rebounds.
