November 9, 2019: Bucks County 149 Washington 137

                                      40 Points/ 14 Rebounds/ 9 Assists

Larry Bird just missed posting a triple double as the Bucks County Knights survived a Washington Wizard upset bid for a 149-137 win.  Knights' center Ralph Sampson took over the paint by posting 32 points and 13 rebounds.  The Knights outscored the Wizards 70-42 inside the paint which allowed Bucks County to survive 34 lead changes.

The Knights led by 2 after 1Q then fell behind by 7 at the half.  The Wizards held a 1 point lead after 3Q before the Knights blew open the game in the 4Q for a 12 point win.

Derek Smith (35), DJ Johnson (23) and Gus Williams (21) led the Wizards in scoring while Thurl Bailey added 14 points and 10 rebounds.

Coach Bill Russell:

" Larry Bird is one of the best basketball players in NBA history.  That being said, we led at halftime so we need to play 48 minutes of quality basketball instead of 24 if we are going to compete in this league."
