Fall Asian League 2016 🏀
Week 2
Putties (47) v. Strokers (50)
The second week of TripleDoubleSports is upon us and the Strokers hope to continue their winning ways versus the Putties! The Putties were missing some of their big guns but were up for the challenge! In the first half, the Putties shooting was horrendous to say the least! As a team, they shot 7-26 fgs (27%) in the first half!
The Strokers, on the other hand, shot the 3ball (5-13 3pt) that made the difference for them! Justin scored 16 of his game high 23pts!
The Putties still had some life in them! Behind Jason Lee and Spencer (14pts each) they began their comeback! The two combined for 19 second half points to whittle the Strokers lead down to 3pts, but that would be as close as they got! Justin (23pts) and Ronald (13pts) put the game away for the Strokers, 50-47!

Swishers (60) v. Dawgs (59)
Next up we have a battle between the Swishers and the defending 6'2 and Under champs, The Dawgs!
The Dawgs came out of the gates fast behind a perfect shooting half by Bradley (8-8 fgs). They led at the half, 34-23!
The third quarter was all Swishers! Dorian Sun (26pts) and Andy Liu (12p 8r) put in some work for the Swishers comeback! Nearing the end of the game the Swishers led by 3pts. The Dawgs worked the ball around to Bradley and he threw up a shot and missed but was fouled shooting a three pointer! So, there was three free throws awaiting him. He calmly sank the first two...but the third one was
in and out! The final score was Swishers 60-59!

Swishers (47) v. Putties (61)
The Swishers followed that narrow victory with a game versus the Putties, who were also playing their second game of the day! They didn't show it tho! The Putties got stronger by adding two players while the Swishers got a bit weaker by losing two. One of the two players that the Swishers lost happened to be their leading scorer from the previous game (Dorian), but Andy (16p 9r) and Daoud (17p 8r) tried to carry the load! At the half, the Swishers were trailing 35-31. The Putties got their team captain, Jmac and TDS veteran Clifton back, so the court opened up for Kong (15pts) and Jason Lee (17pts)! The Putties passing and ball movement was evident and the Swishers just ran out of gas! The Putties won, 61-47!

Dawgs (39) v. CCU (43)
A defensive battle is what we have in our next matchup between CCU Ambassadors and the defending champions, Dawgs! The Dawgs played tough in the first quarter to led 10-8 after one but trailed at halftime by 3, 20-17! Ryan Sera led the Dawgs in scoring with 12pts.

Eagles (63) v. Beastion (43)
The final battle of the day was between the Eagles and Beastion!
For Beastion, there was good news and bad news. Trailing at the end of the first quarter 13-11...unfortunately that was the good news! Nick Knight (10pts) and Matt (14pts) did the bulk of the scoring. The bad news was that it only got worse! At the half the score was 37-25. For the Eagles, Andrew Faro, JP Gacula and Jerome had 8pts each in the first half!
The shooting in the second half was on the Eagles side. They're percentage wasn't remarkably high (41%) but it was much better than Beastion's (22%). Tye led the Eagles in scoring with 16pts & 9rebs! Beastion's own Chris and Nick Knight (11) hit double figures in rebounding but it was all for naught as the Eagles ran away with the game by the score of, 63-43!
