Bombtans (67) v. Boogie 2.0 (68)
We start off Week 4 of TripleDoubleSports with the best game of the season, so far! A couple of unbeatens square off as the Bombtans take on Boogie 2.0!
A tight game throughout, the Bombtans took the early lead. With just 5 players for the game, the Bombtans shot 8-12 fgs (67%) in the first quarter giving them an early 22-17 lead! Wai led all scorers with 30pts on 11-20 fgs (55%) and Moe contributed with his "ho-hum" double-double (13p 14r)! Although , the Bombtans had a good first half they only led at the half by one point, 36-35!
Boogie 2.0 was playing from behind most of the game but they kept the game close. Prabe's double-double (12p & 12r) cancelled out the game Moe had on the other side! It was fierce inside! A real man's game! Boogie trailed by 2pts going into the final period! That when Rebo slowed up with his shooting and nice passing. He had 8pts and a couple of nice dimes in the fourth!
With the game tied at 65 apiece Wai got the ball at the top of the key a drove left and payed the ball up with 2.2 secs remaining...but Boogie still had a chance! Boogie inbounded the ball directly to Edwin (who had a team high 18pts), having 2.2 secs he quickly made his move to his left shoulder and made a hook shot...and 1! Boogie went on to win the game, 68-67! Wow, what a game!

GS Threat Matrix (60) v. Knights (46)
Next on the docket we have the battle between two teams looking to get in the win column when the GS Threat Matrix taking on the Knights!
The Knights pretty much had to struggle to put points on the board! Without Tye, who had a game high 25pts & 11rebs, the Knights shot a measly 9-34 fgs (26%)! Not to mention PG TK went down midway through the second quarter with an apparent foot injury! Our prayers go out to TK for a speedy recovery. They were down 20pts, 37-17 going into halftime!
GS Threat Matrix were putting on a show! They were moving the ball around with ease. The looked like the Dubs on this day! Four of the six players that suited up scored in double figures! Leading the way was Webb with 18pts (could've had more but the free throw line was his Achilles heel...0-7 from the line) and Billy's 13pts & 7rebs! The Threat Matrix lost 6pts from their halftime lead to go on to win handily, 60-46!

SF Braves (57) v. Swishers (72)
The SF Braves face off against the Swishers in the conclusion of our day here at TDS!
The SF Braves had a little attendance issue that kind of got under the skin of team captain, Tone Arce! He was upset with the guys on his team that didn't even call him to tell him they weren't going to show up! They went ahead and played anyways but the Swishers were not the team to play with on this day! James Aragon came through with 24pts & 4asts for the depleted SF Braves squad!
The Swishers weren't feeling sorry for the SF Braves one bit! They smelled blood in the water and went for the kill early! They led after the first quarter 26-12 behind Dorian's 5-7 3pt shooting! Dorian Sun led all scorers with 30pts on 11-20 fgs (55%)! The Swishers had a huge 14pt lead after one quarter and went on to outscore the SF Braves, 46-45 the rest of the way! The Swishers won the game comfortably, 72-57!
