A 5v5

Commentary by WEITZER...

The Basketball Team 83  GTL 86

GTL Rising

Showed up around halftime to a full strength GTL squad holding off TBT. Looks like Rice and Evan got the offense going in the first half, but it was all Barlow and only Barlow down the stretch for TBT. 

GTL started to key in on him defensively and when they forced tough shots, Ant, Chris, and Waseem made them pay in transition. Couple of good passes led to a Jake Page 3 and some inside finishes for Preston, then Ian sealed with a couple of leakouts when TBT was pressing at the end. 

The Skullets 56  Chaos Magic 72

Chaos Stays Undefeated

Chaos looked to be ready to roll with an early 25-7 lead, but they didn't have Mazz on their scouting report. The scorekeeper of the 6:45 game made a cameo and shot a lights out 7-9 from 3 to lead a 21-5 run, as Skullets came back to tie it, 30-30, late in the first half. 

Chaos regrouped and came out with a 12-3 run to begin the second half, led by Kamali and Donovan, who shot a perfect 5-for-5 from the floor from what I could tell. Jamal and Weeks added a good dimension on the drive and kick game and Skullets couldn't match points. 

Avengers 60  Treys For Days 90

Treys Roll With Subs

With Game 6 starting, Avengers could only get 4 rostered players and Treys only had 3 rostered players. Technically that makes for a forfeit win for Avengers, but they played the game so we'll go with this result. 

Treys definitely got a lift by adding Jamal as a sub. He was warmed up and knifing through the Avengers patchwork defense for 25 first half points to make it 50-24. Judah and Craig did what they could to get the deficit manageable, but Treys had their version of the Death Lineup with Mike Lamb stepping in as a Draymond Green/non-shooter/perfect complement to a high-scoring 4 players. 

The game finished with Selmon throwing down on the break and finishing an alley-oop (throwing it in) pass from Kyle Romich. He got an intentional foul push for his efforts, but nobody got hurt. Avengers pissed? Beat them in the playoffs.
