TDL Spring 2016 Playoffs Results (1st Round)

(8) Tim Nubina 74
(9) Boomtown 55
Wed (6/1) 6:45pm at MLK HS Boxscore
Player of the Game: D. Stanojevic (TIM) 24 pts, 9 reb

RECAP: The three-point field goal was the main factor of this game. Tim Nubina was making them and Boomtown was not. This one got a little chippy late, but Nubina used their size to effectively in the middle quarters when BOO had to overextend their defense to cover the three.

(3) Sal Team 6 62
(6) Guard Me Maybe 72
Wed (6/1) 7:45pm at MLK HS Boxscore
Player of the Game: Ian Yu (GMM) 20 pts, 9 reb

RECAP: Championship hopefuls Sal Team 6 had to play short-handed, and Guard Me Maybe took full advantage. (G) Ian Yu and (F) Askia Davis were aggressive early and making shots. SAL wasn’t ready for GMM’s energy and never really recovered.

(2) NY Dynasty 65
(7) NYK Spartans 53
Wed (6/1) 8:45pm at MLK HS Boxscore
Player of the Game: F. Simpson (DYN) 25 pts, 4 reb

RECAP: NY Dynasty (F) Fred Simpson was just in beast mode all game. He was unyielding, hustling for every ball, red hot from every spot on the floor. It took the entire Spartans team to stop him, and when they did, he just dumped the ball off to open DYN teammates. SPA did their best, but DYN had too many weapons.

(4) That 70s Team 52
(5) Free Agents 64
Wed (6/1) 9:45pm at MLK HS Boxscore
Player of the Game: M. Blakely (FAS) 23 pts, 8 reb

RECAP: For one of Premier’s biggest lineups, That 70s Team sure looked small in this one. 70S struggled offensively and did a lot of walking on defense. The Free Agents were always running, no matter what, trying to find an quick, easy basket. If not for some key shots by 70S (F) Dee Ferguson, this would have been a blowout.

(1) Meta World War 60
(8) Tim Nubina 41
Thu (6/2) 8:00pm at MLK HS Boxscore
Player of the Game: S. Arasmo (MWW) 26 pts, 6 reb

RECAP: Both teams had just 5 available players, but it was Tim Nubina with the obvious size advantage. They used it well in 1st quarter to take an early lead, but eventually, Meta World War took over the tempo and with it, control of this game. TIM could not contain MWW (G) Shamel Arasmo‘s speed. And despite their size, TIM mostly settled for 3FGs, shooting 29 and making just 5. It was a risky formula all season, and it ends with a 1st rd exit. Defending champs MWW move on to the semis.
