WEEK 2
In the second week of the Nothing But Net Basketball League the attendance
rose; it was a better turnout than the first week. The first game
was between the Blazers and GB Inc. GB Inc. (1-1) proved to be too
much vs. the Blazers (0-1) winning 55-49. The game began sloppy with
many turnovers and missed shots but it picked up when Beans from GB
Inc. started to catch fire. He got the team going by hitting several
three pointers and finished with 13 points. Once GB Inc. led the Blazers
at halftime, they never looked back. Kevin kept his team ahead by
pouring in a team high 17 points. Kev is stepping up as an inside
force for GB Inc., continuing to dominate the boards. The Blazers
did make a comeback, led by high-flyer S. Limehouse who finished with
21 points and two monster dunks, John Gill also hit several 3 pointers
finishing with 22 points. GB Inc had too much fire power for the Blazers'
"dynamic duo".
The second game featured the Untouchables vs. D-Block. This was a
good game from start to finish. The Untouchables (1-0) needed overtime
to knock off D-Block (0-1) by a score of 34-29. Jeff, the Untouchables
point guard ran the show, shaking defenders to the floor, and dropping
dimes. Jeff had help from his backcourt partner Sean who scored 12
points while hitting several three pointers. Greg Perkins was the
difference in this game. He owned the paint, grabbing every rebound,
blocking shots, to go along with his 8 points. D-Block's hustle kept
them close, forward Datmetri had a game high 14 points.
The final game of the night was the battle of unbeaten. The X-Birds
(1-0) vs. the Streetballaz (1-0).
The game was close throughout but the X-Birds' experience was the
reason they came away with the victory. The Streetballaz started
to self-destruct like the
Portland Trail Blazers, toward the end of the game with some help
from the officials. There were some controversial calls down the
stretch that could have went either way. Streetballaz' C. Morrison
led all scorers.
