Baltimore puts on a clinic with a blowout win against the Sonics
The Baltimore Bullets annihilate the Seattle Sonics 120-92. What a dominating performance this was from the Bullets on both sides of the ball. This game looked to be under control as soon as Baltimore came onto the court for shoot around before the game. They looked more focused than this reporter has seen since the LA game. The top performance of the night comes from the bench in the form of Tyrese Dawson. He finished the night with a double double of 23 points and 10 rebounds. He also had 6 assists as well to add to his stat sheet. The 23 points marks a season high for Dawson. This win gives Baltimore 13 on the season as we end December and the next game will be another National TV game against the Phoenix Tribe on January 4th.

Coach's Notes:
What did I say in the last entry? I said Seattle was walking into a bad situation and we sure put it on those boys tonight. Our bench put in WORK!! It was BBQ chicken all night and as a result I got to rest my starters a bit more than normal. For once I don't have a lot to say. Bigger lights of National TV and we did our thing. We shot 62 percent....from the field. Let me say that again in case you misread that 62 PERCENT FROM THE FIELD! That is insane!! The guys were getting to good spots all night and that's the result! Great way to end the month! Phoenix is coming to town next so we gotta prepare to not have a letdown.
