5th Game: vs Exies Acmy

Again Tim couldn't play, but also Harbs couldn't either due to work. So I left it to Simbo to find some more players, and He did that. Found three other guys to play, one plays in A1 or something. They were all young and speedy up the court. We had six players with Devo and myself too.

The opening tip had to be redone as they both missed the ball. Simbo ended up losing the tip, but we were able to get the ball back pretty soon. Exies started with only four players. We had the first score, and we kept the score close in the first half, and actually had the lead for a fair bit of it. One of the guys scored 10 points in the first half, one scored 4 and simbo scored 2. We led by 2 at halftime.

In the second half we had actually stretched our lead to 8 points, but we let it slip in the last 2 minutes of the game. A foul on a scoring basket followed by a free throw tied the score up at 40. They scored again once more after that. We had another chance to win or tie the game in the last 30 seconds, but were unable to. All in all it was a good game, but we should have won it. We had three players scoring 12 points each for the game. Simbo and Devo got quite a few rebounds. Simbo needs to either work on his dribbling or just not bring the ball up the court, as on several occasions he was stripped.

We remain on the bottom of the ladder and play next week on Wednesday at 10:10pm.
