The Four Knights

September 11, 2006
Vs Saints.

The game started with both sides having four players, and lucky for them that myself and Devo were there to do the scoring. Anyway the four knights were Adam, Scotty, Troy and Terry. Adam was on fire from the start scoring the first few points of the game. About 5 minutes into the game two more players arrived for the Saints, which meant they then had a substitute. One of the late comers was #23 who was a young guy who had a fair bit of speed, and who I would say was their best player. He ended up scoring 10 points in the first half and the score at the break was 21 to 18 with the knights leading. The knights used their timeouts well in both halves so that they wouldn’t tire to much. In the second half the Knights were up by as much as 10 points, but in the last 4 minutes the Saints closed the margin so that they were level after a couple of 3ptrs. The Saints picked up more than 10 fouls in the second half with #23 fouling out of the game with a few minutes remaining, and three other players ending the game on 4 fouls. With under a minute left the Saints #21 picked up a tech foul after he slammed the ball down following a foul call, and possibly said something that the umpire heard. So for the rest of the game the Saints continued with 4 players on the court. The final score was about 44 to 38.

The four knights moved well taking the ball to the basket finding the gaps in the defense. They got a few fast breaks despite being a player short. The biggest part of the game was the way they managed to draw the fouls on the Saints players. This being an early game is why only four players showed up.
