Warriors Cold from the Floor Again
The Detroit Falcons played a speedy game and took advantage of poor Warriors shooting to win 68-55 at the Arena. John Janisch and Bob Dille let the way for Detroit with 24 and 20 points, respectively. The Warriors kept the game close in the early going but went ice cold in the third quarter, shooting just 3-for-27 from the floor, and the Falcons went to a stall offense for much of the fourth to burn the clock.
