It is officially on!
Team Apocalypse and TTTB both played with passion today, producing a
playoff like atmosphere; competing to the whistle on every play. Silk Money (27 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists,
5 steals) orchestrated the offense like a maestro for TTTB, scoring at
will. He conducted his way through over
and around the defense with precision.
Along with Tone “Wild Thing” Loc (22 points) TTTB was able to maintain a
slight edge throughout the first half, but Apocalypse led at the break 32-30.
Apocalypse played extremely well as a team. The Phenom (32 points, 10 rebounds, 6
assists, 7 steals) played with poise.
While 4-0-9 picked his spots, but was at his best in the post where he
went to get his grown man on, dropping (24 points, 15 GMB, 2 assists, 3 steals)
and with 56 points an d25 rebounds between them; that’s a filthy combo! Enter
the Bucktown (8 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals, 2 blocks) his energy
and veteran savvy are the keys to his team’s success.
Trailing by 2 with under 2 minutes to play. The Phenom nails a trey, putting Apocalypse
up by one. Silk Money responds with 2
free throws. 4-0-9 answers. Silk Money
tiptoed through the tulips, finishing at the rim “with a little kiss.” TTTB by
1 with :26.4 to play. The Phenom is
fouled, goes to the line; makes both.
71-70 Apocalypse. Silk Money goes
hard the other way, gets fouled… and misses both! The Phenom is fouled and splits a pair,
putting Apocalypse up by 2.
Wild Thing goes to the line for TTTB with a chnce to tie
with under :10 to play… Misses both! The
Phenom goes back to the line with a chance to ice it, but misses one, giving
TTTB one last chance to tie the game with a trey, but they couldn’t get off a
shot in time. Apocalypse wins 73-70. Spirited Action! And this is one that TTTB will not soon
forget. They played well enough to win,
but were not able to finish; this game was lost at the line.
Game 2 between Hakuna Matata and Dead Game was anti-climatic
with Hakuna Matata dominating the action from start to finish and winning going
away, 78-59. E-Smoove was masterful (29
points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists) Geezy stepped up with (15 points, 6 rebounds, 5
assists, 4steals) Frost brought it (14 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 steals)
Scoop “The Human Eraser” dominated the paint (10 points, 17 GMB’s, 2 assists, 2
steals, and 3 erases!) and El Toro “The bull in the China shop” was turned
loose (8 points, 11 GMB’s, 1 assist) This team is deep!
Deep game was paced by Heart-N-Soul (22 points, 9 rebounds,
5assists, 1 steal) Pitt Bull added (10 points, 5 rebounds, 1 steal, 1 block),
Scrappy contributed (10 points, 2 assists, 1 rebound, 1 steal) The General had
(8 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals, 1 block) and El Concrete (6 points,
10 rebounds, 1 block). The whole team
played with grit and heart, but simply could not match the firepower of Hakuna
Matata.
Player of the week: The Phenom. After suffering back to back losses, he led
his team to back to back wins with the poise and the heart of a champion, The numbers: (75 points, 18 rebounds, 11
assists, 14 steals, 1 block) All hail!
