| Love Explosion's captain Sean O'Callaghan nails a tear drop over Soft King defender Tim Beagen. The Explosion won the A1 title convincingly in the finals over strong Sofa King team. This is O'cal's 1st brick since the Spring/Summer 2002 A1 League - a 5 year wait is finally over! |

Commentary by Tical Love Explosion 68 Sofa King 45 Another Summer, Another Brick for O'Cal How many times are we (I) going to doubt the Coach?? With another perfectly contrived game plan, Love Explosion was able to hold the MVP Hitman to just 10 points and pull away early in the second half to win O'Cal another Brick, ending the drought. Kenny Rivera (8 points, 3 steals) and O'Cal (17 points, 3 steals) chased the Hitman around all night, and every time he drove to the hoop, two additional defenders were waiting for him. As a result, the Sofa King offense sputtered, putting up only 24 points before the break. The bright spot was the play of Brian Greenberg (16 points, 10 boards) who hit everything from inside and hustled for boards.
In the second half, they briefly got to within 4 points before Love Explosion really turned it on. Co-Final MVPs KO (16 points, 14 boards) and Dan Salazar (18 points) turned up the heat. KO was his usual Beast self, while Salazar was money from downtown and tossed in 15 second half points as the lead continued to grow. Not even the inspirational return of Roger Lau (13 points, 3 assists) could lift Sofa King to a higher place. Congrats to Love Explosion, the Summer 07 Champs, and we hope to see you all next season.
