TDL Spring 2016 Week 5 Results

Boomtown (2-1) 55
Guard Me Maybe (2-2) 66
Wed (5/11) 6:45pm at MLK HS Boxscore
Player of the Game: Askia Davis (GMM) 20 pts, 12 reb

RECAP: The early game of the night often goes to the team who can get enough players on the floor. Boomtown was short-handed, as could be expected, but Guard Me Maybe came in with a full roster, and just overwhelmed BOO in the 2nd half. It was a solid effort all around for GMM, but if BOO can take some silver lining out of this loss, (F) Jake Moreno finished with 25 pts in his second game back in the lineup.

NYK Spartans (1-2) 55
That 70s Team (2-1) 53
Wed (5/11) 7:45pm at MLK HS Boxscore
Player of the Game: Ace Watana. (NYK) 19 pts, 6 3FGs

RECAP: When That 70s Team is in sync, they look unbeatable, but then they have games like these when no one looks like they’re on the same page. That left the door open for the Spartans, who never quit in any game, to come in and steal this win. Big time shooting from NYK (G) Ace Watanasuparp helped his Spartans team get their first win of the season.

NY Dynasty (3-1) 73
Tim Nubina (2-2) 53
Wed (5/11) 8:45pm at MLK HS Boxscore
Player of the Game: Fred Simpson (DYN) 19 pts, 5 stl

RECAP: Both teams played dead even in the 1st half, but NY Dynasty noticeably upped their defensive intensity in the 2nd. Even with former Fordham (F) Chris Bethel arriving late for Tim Nubina, Dynasty held their ground, turning TIM’s missed shots and turnovers into easy finishes in transition. DYN (F) Fred Simpson has been the catalyst since joining the team two weeks ago. He is the perimeter defender they’ve been missing. 

Meta World War (0-4) 65
Sal Team 6 (3-1) 53
Wed (5/11) 9:45pm at MLK HS Boxscore
Player of the Game: Chaz Thomas (MWW) 19 pts, 7 stl

RECAP: Meta World War showed up with just four roster players, but picked up a sub to make 5. It was just enough to knock off Sal Team 6 side that struggled with their perimeter shooting for most of the night, all except for (F) Parker McClelland that is, who was knock down. It was McClelland who gave them the push to try and steal this one late, but key buckets in the paint by (F) Chaz Thomas and (C) Stedford McCleod helped MWW close this one out.
