Had a big game on Wednesday night, we needed to win in order to move up two spots in the standing and gain a more favorable match-up for the Playoffs. It didn’t look good during pre-game warm ups, as only 4 players on our team (including myself) had shown up to play. So we had no choice but to play the other team 4 on 5 for the entire game. We jumped out to an early lead thanks to some clutch defensive rebounding and a strong transition game, lead by yours truly, that the defense had no time to react to. The name of the game was good decision making, we stayed strong in our 2-2 zone of defense and didn’t allow the other team to be a factor on the boards, we took away any chance of second chance points and forced them to hit 15-20 foot jump shots. We controlled the boards on the defensive side, and that gave us opportunities to strike in transition. We also used there numbers against them when on offense. Our opponents felt like they could contain us with help defense, but our guys came ready to shoot, so all it took was me to drive to either side, draw three defenders, and then dish the ball behind me to an open shooter. We won the game by 14 points, scoring a total of 89 points.

My Stat Line: 36 points, 15 rebounds, 12 assists, 3 blocks, 2 steals
