#10 Team Smash (52) v. #7 Beastion (60)
This was a clash between a team with one of the most established teams (Beastion) versus a team still in its infancy (First season for Team Smash in TDS)! 
Team Smash came out strong! Scoring 14pts in each of the first two quarters! Behind, team captain Tommy Doan's double-double and a good all around floor game from Justin (11p 5r 5a). 
Beastion never gave up and kept the pressure on Team Smash! Last season, Beastion was in the same position, leading after the third quarter but they imploded! Nick (17pts) and Phil (13pts) made sure that wouldn't happen this time! Although, Team Smash made it close at the end...Beastion held on for the, 60-52 victory! 
A huge 'Thank You' goes out to Tommy Doan and the rest of Team Smash! I hope this isn't the last we hear from you!

#2 Strokers (40) v. #9 Dawgs (37)
The finale of the day was the #2 seeded Strokers taking on the defending champs, Dawgs! 
The game started off slow! With each team trying to find their legs. The first half showed some tough defense that forced each team to shoot way below average (Strokers 22%; Dawgs 26%) The Dawgs led at the half 16-13! 
Ryan Sera was the leading scorer for the Dawgs with 17pts! He also was able to add 7rebs and 5asts! Bradley kept them in the game for a while with 10pts of his own, but no one but Ryan could find the basket in the fourth! 
The Strokers thanked their lucky stars that Ray showed up this week because he was one of the only players that was effective! He scored 12pts (after showing up in the second quarter)! Adonis helped out a bit with two big 3's in the second half! Ronald was the man on the boards with 11! 
The Strokers went on to win, 40-37! No repeat for the Dawgs! Thanks to them for representing TDS this past season!
