Justin Bowen and Ian Mahinmi combined for 38 points as the Austin Toros used a strong second half to beat the Idaho Stampede in Game One of the 2008 D-League Finals. Bowen led all scorers with 25.

Watched most of the second half. Toros took over about halfway through the third and looked strong to finish out the game. Ian was hampered by foul trouble apparently but looked good when he was out there. Kinda weak on the boards, but he didn't seem to ever be able to find a good rhythm.

Next two games are in Idaho, so the Toros just held serve so far. But impressive victory nonetheless. :smokin Getting one on the road is much easier than getting two.

One more win and the Toros are D-League Champs!!!

NBA DL is the NBA's development league, therefore, of interest to NBA team fans interested in development of players like Suns properties D.J. Strawberry and Alando Tucker...just to name a couple.

People who don't really follow basketball wouldn't get it.

[MagnusKrauss]

that justin bowen dude looks plenty good there.

how come he never got an invite?

[Kori Ellis]

RC was saying during the game that Ian was obviously very bothered by his injury and it was a shame that he wasn't healthy, blahblah.
