Flying Fairies (1-0) | 52 |
Raptors (0-3) | 46 |
Sunday, April 17, 12:00pm at Graphics HS | Box Score |
Player of the Game: Kevin Quach (FLY) 14 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assist |
The Raptors’ 12 3FGs kept them in this game, but they struggled to contend with the bigger Flying Faries’ roster, especially with (F) Garth Grillo out of the line-up. And eventually the Fairies wore the Raps down. FLY (F) Kevin Quach led his team with 14 points, 9 rebounds. RAP (G) James Han and (F) Seung Lim both finished with 20 points.
Goat Herders (0-3) | 67 |
Supreme Team (1-1) | 79 |
Sunday, April 17, 12:00pm at Graphics HS | Box Score |
Player of the Game: Ryan Kim (SUP) 36 points, 8 3FGs, 4 rebounds |
Supreme Team captain (G) Ryan Kim wasn’t in a zone, he was on another planet, he was speaking in tongues, he was an astral projection, he was Neo in the Matrix. The man could not miss, going 8-10 from behind the arc before missing a couple late to keep some veneer of mortality. Needless to say his 36 points and 8 threes were career-highs. And they won the game to boot.
Gritty FOB City (2-1) | 56 |
TX Thunder (1-1) | 54 |
Sunday, April 17, 1:30pm at MLK HS | Box Score |
Player of the Game: David Ri (FOB) 17 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists |
The Thunder controlled this game for most of three quarters. But in the 3rd, FOB City started to make its run and the Thunder shots stopped falling. FOB (F) David Ri led the way with a game-high 17 points in the comeback win. THU (G) Leuis Ng finished with 14 points, 8 rebounds.
Dirk Digglers (3-0) | 70 |
Flying Fairies (2-0) | 42 |
Sunday, April 17, 2:00pm at Graphics HS | Box Score |
Player of the Game: Eric Kim (DRK) 15 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists |
After winning their season opener earlier in the day, the Flying Fairies seemed to run out of gas in the second leg of their double-header. Meanwhile, the Dirk Digglers keep their win streak going with their third straight decision. There’s no secret here, it’s the same personnel as last season, they’re just playing a whole lot better, led by (G) Eric Kim who looks more comfortable than ever running this team.
No Fly Zone OG (1-2) | 55 |
TAP NY (1-2) | 61 |
Sunday, April 17, 3:30pm at MLK HS | Box Score |
Player of the Game: John Hsu (TAP) 20 points, 14 rebounds, 1 block |
TAP NY dismantled a No Fly Zone team once again playing short-handed with no bigs. New TAP addition (C) Jordan Carr dominated early in the paint, forcing NFZ to double him. That opened up the 3-pt line for TAP and (G) John Hsu led the way with four 3FGs. They led by as much as 19 points. But NFZ surged back, led by a 24-point 2nd half from (G) Ren Hsieh. They got within one possession, but key baskets from Carr and Hsu held off NFZ in crunch time.
Sex Panthers (1-2) | 58 |
Splappa (3-0) | 71 |
Sunday, April 17, 5:00pm at Graphics HS | Box Score |
Player of the Game: Derek Lu (SPL) 31 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists |
The early struggles that Splappa faced as a team are long behind them now. This isn’t a change in personnel so much as key players actually being there. (F) Pierre Riddle has been as dominant as we predicted he would be. And that has opened everything up for (G) Caleb Lui and (G) Derek Lu who finished with a season-high 31 points. The Sex Panthers, on the other hand, looked sluggish again, dropping their second game in a row, something they didn’t do all last season.
Teal Curtain (3-0) | 52 |
Wolverines (0-2) | 42 |
Sunday, April 17, 5:30pm at MLK HS | Box Score |
Player of the Game: Alex Field (TEA) 14 points, 2 rebounds, 7 steals |
Teal Curtain may be new to this league, but they certainly aren’t new to each other. This is their third straight win, and they haven’t exactly been playing marshmallows. To date, they have knocked off a semifinal team (WOL) from last season’s playoffs, and the eventual champion (BSH). They’re quickly starting to look like the team to beat in the Western Conference.
