Demolition stayed hot and won its 4th straight game. After Cambridge Associates
hit a 15-foot jump shot with 2 seconds left, Hing tied the game at the buzzer. In the
overtime, Shi put Demolition on top with a layup and Kevin iced the game with a
pair of free throws as Demolition edged out Cambridge Associates by 1 point,
68-67. Kevin finished with 29 pts, Albert added 15 pts and Ribs chipped in 12 pts.
2004 was out of sync the whole night and couldn't shake off Digitas. The game was
close all the way to the final seconds. After Ricky tied the game with a free throw,
Digitas went back up, 68-67. Jimmy missed both of his opportunities to put 2004 in
the lead and Chanan missed the potential game winner at the buzzer. Chanan
finished with 20 pts, Ricky added 19 pts and Victor chipped in 15 pts.
Shogunz lost to MJ Remodel, last season's finalist, because only five people
showed up. Johnson finished with 20 pts, CT and Peter both added 10 pts.
Shogunz, behind Johnson's 42 points, snapped their four games losing streak
and beat one of the best teams in the league, that featured 5 players over 6 feet
and 2 players over 6'8''. After getting off a slow start, Shogunz really started
playing great team defense and was able to shut down Giant's transition game.
With Johnson provided most of the offense and Christian chipping in with 9 points,
Shogunz blew the game open in the end and won the game by 15 points. Shogunz
hopes to carry this momentum to next week's showdown with Demolition.
On the other hand, Demolition almost defeated the #1 team, MJ Remodel. Kevin
again came out firing and scored a game-high 31 points. Chi Lai also put up 16
points, but in the end, Demolition wasn't able to come up with key baskets and lost
a close game. They will need to regroup as they prepared for next week's matchup.
2004, playing without its leading scorer, did not have much problem with
Cambridge Associate. Leading comfortably by double-digit for most of the game,
2004 faced a scary comeback run by Cambridge Associate as one of their
shooters made 6 straight three-pointers. Nevertheless, Ralph stepped up late in
the game and secured the win for the team. Kenny led the team with 15 points as
all six players were able to score in double figure.
