Pure Playaz too tricky for Hon. Fraser's Rebels!
The score at 11-11 was as close as the game got and that was early in the first quarter as the Playaz capitalised on the lack of reserves on the Rebels’ bench to play an energy sapping quick transition game.
The Playaz scored nine straight either side of the first quarter buzzer as the Playaz turned a three-point edge into a double-digit lead.
Despite a lack of replacements and with the urging of Hon.Fraser, the Rebels had one last chance in the 4th quarter as they made a 3-pointer to cut it to seven points. However, it was too little too late and the final margin of 13 points gave the Playaz a comfortable victory.
In other games, the Heat from Virgin Gorda proved too hot to handle for the ESHS Rams, but only just.
Although the final score was 34-30, the Rams missed a couple of key free throws and lost possession on a final attack just when it looked like they were capable of at least forcing overtime.
The evening’s second game was an exciting encounter between the Young Gunners and the Skulls with the Gunners out shooting their opponents to win 81-79.
The fast pace of the Skulls attack caused problems all night for the Gunners’ defense, but also led to several turnovers and missed opportunities which allowed the Gunners to stay in touch with the score and eventually run out the winners.
The first quarter ended 19-18 to the Gunners, the second 37-36 and the third 54 each to set up a thrilling climax.
The Skulls went ahead by one with 30 seconds left, but then missed two free throws. From the resulting possession, the Gunners made no such mistake from the free throw line to secure victory.
