That includes a half-time score of 108-26.Stunned? Yeah...so are we.The team plays in the ABA. No, not the ABA of the 1970's, though we guess the comparison could be made.This ABA has somewhere close to 100 teams and believe it or not, the Giants actually drew some 2,500 fans to their game.We can't vouch for the quality of play, though we suspect it varies..wildly.
