dreamleague all-stars (DL) versus a.t.n.t. (A)
the dl all-stars, coming off a nice win last week over run 'n' gun, came into this game versus a.t.n.t. without big man MATT FOCTHMAN. the lack of focthman required someone else from DL to step up their game...enter NICK WONG! wong led the team with 13 points on 5-7 shooting, including 3-4 from 3-pt range. DL led throughout this low scoring contest. a.t.n.t. tried to capitalize on their size advantage, but other than DUKE (12pts, 5rebs), nobody else on the squad could find the bottom of the net shooting 34% from the field, including a miserable 1-15 from beyond the arc. a.t.n.t. turned up the defense in the fourth quarter with a full-court pressing attack holding DL to 5 points in the final quarter, but it was too little too late. DL wins this defensive battle 52-40.
boogie ballers (BB) versus moneytree (MT)
those who stayed to watch the last game of the night were treated to a great game. the combo of MATT (13pts) and MIKE LEE (19pts) turned out to be a big problem for the boogie ballers (BB) in the first half leading moneytree (MT) to a 34-29 halftime lead. although BB came out with a strong defensive effort in the 3rd quarter, holding MT to 4pts, BB could not put the ball in the hoop! led by WIL WHEATLEY (12pts, 15 rebs) and RICO REDD (18pts, 6rebs) BB shot 41% from the feild and struggled from long range (3-14, 21%). teamwork proved to be the factor in this game between the established team from moneytree versus the newly formed boggie baller squad. should only be a matter of time for BB's talented squad to gel, but in the meantime, i guess we know which team cut chemistry class!
