• EDDIE JONES kept the Magic alive as PENNY HARDAWAY left the game early
  due to an injury. The Orlando Magic went ahead to WIN
  as they beat the IVERSON and the BULLETS 70-63.

• The LA LAKERS will face off against the tough UTAH JAZZ this evening, live on TNT.
  With the addition of LARRY JOHNSON, Laker GM Smooth Eddie feels the JAZZ
  will be tougher then expected. "Larry's tough. He's a lot bigger and meatier than
  both Clifford and Garnett, so we may look into putting KEMP into the mix."
  The JAZZ and LAKERS split a pair of preseason games.

• DIKEMBE MUTUMBO was traded earlier today for LARRY JOHNSON.
  Both the UTAH JAZZ and the ORLANDO MAGIC feel they
  filled the spots they needed with the trade.

• Raptors General Manager BRAD stated that "The Timberwolves have no real
  chance of winning with GLN RICE down low. SHAQ will EAT HIM UP."
  The Wolves are 0-1 after a loss to Utah, and play tonight against the
  impressive Raptors, live on TNT. This should be a good one.

• The LAKERS open up their season with a 24-point victory over the
  struggling SIXERS. General manager of the Sixers RICK stated,
  "My team played well. The Lakers' defense overwhelmed us in the 3rd
  and that pretty much sealed it."
  SHAWN KEMP lead the way with the NLCL's first TRIPLE DOUBLE.

• The HORNETS advance to 2-0 as they embarrass the BULLETS with a 34-point thrashing
  of Iverson and the 3 point shooting crew. Bullets manager Striker
  announced in a press conference that he suspects Trey (Hornets GM)
  of cheating. "He turned goaltending OFF in the 3rd," stated coach STRIKER.
  NLCL officials are investigating.

• Bullets General Manager STRIKER is being accused by other NLCL GM's
  as being a "trash-talker."
  "He should do his talking on the COURT," says Toronto GM BRAD.
  Laker GM Smooth Eddy also added, "If he talks trash to ME, I'd have only one word
  for him --- DOUBLE-U."

• Sixers off to a bad start losing their first five games.
