TDL Spring 2016 Week 5 Results

Asphalt Ninjas (4-1) 63
Shawn Kemp’s Kids (2-3) 77
Sun (5/1) 11:00am at Graphics HS Boxscore
Player of the Game: Donnie Walsh (SKK) 37 pts, 7 reb

RECAP: The Ninjas had to start short-handed and never quite got on track. SKK (C) Graham Diamond dominated in the paint early on, and the Kids shared the ball well, not forcing much. ASN looked sluggish throughout, and they had no answer for SKK (G) Donnie Walsh.  Walsh is averaging 29.7 ppg in his last 3 games.
L.O.B. (0-4) 47
SK War Dog (3-1) 72
Sun (5/1) 12:00pm at Graphics HS Boxscore
Player of the Game: Pat Youreneff (SKW) 20 pts, 8 ast

RECAP: L.O.B. just couldn’t get it going from the perimeter and that limited their chances in the paint as well. SK War Dog (F) Ted Hiao was a man possessed, playing aggressively on D while (G) Pat Youreneff and (G) Kash Miah put in their usual work to put this game away early.
Let It Fly (3-2) 59
Shawty Likes the Way (2-2) 50
Sun (5/1) 1:00pm at Graphics HS Boxscore
Player of the Game: Shawn Bailey (LIF) 18 pts, 9 reb

RECAP: On paper this was an evenly-matched game, but Shawty seemed intimidated by Let It Fly (C) Shawn Bailey‘s length in the paint. After a few big blocks, they didn’t attack him much, and the 3’s weren’t falling either. Bailey was the catalyst when it came down to which team wanted this one more. Solid win for LIF.
Free Agents (1-3) 71
Yung No Fly Zone (4-0) 74
Sun (5/1) 1:30pm at MLK HS Boxscore
Player of the Game: Mike Reding (NFZ) 27 pts, 13 reb

RECAP: Both teams were hot early. No Fly Zone’s offense was strong, but their defense was sluggish throughout, and FAS (G) David Chu (27 pts) took advantage. Down the stretch, NFZ made runs, but someone on FAS always stepped up. It was tied late in the 4th when NFZ (F) David Farnham made a deep 3 with 5.2 secs left that proved to be the game-winner.
Honey Badgers (3-2) 57
Lace’O My Aso (2-2) 66
Sun (5/1) 4:00pm at Graphics HS Boxscore
Player of the Game: Matt Joshy (LMA) 18 pts, 4 reb

RECAP: The Honey Badgers looked like they had this game under control midway through the 4th quarter when they suddenly went cold. And Lace’O My Aso in turn, went very hot, going on a 16-2 run to finish the game. (F) Kevin Cheddie was a difference maker despite arriving late, but LMA getting (G) Matt Joshy back on the floor with a game-high 18 pts was huge.
Financial Ventures Grp (4-1) 48
Jay’s Angels (2-2) 46
Sun (5/1) 5:00pm at Graphics HS Boxscore
Player of the Game: Kev Chang (FVG) 25 pts, 8 reb

RECAP: Financial Ventures (F) Kev Chang is low-key putting on an MVP display right now, carrying his team to wins. But even with Chang’s heroics, this one came down to the last shot, a missed game-tying attempt by (G) Vasu Kulkarni. Despite the loss, Jay’s Angels continues to look like a dark horse team that can make some noise if they make the playoffs.
Raining Rosebuds (1-3) 62
Top Stars (0-5) 52
Sun (5/1) 5:30pm at MLK HS Boxscore
Player of the Game: N’Kosi Gaddy (RAR) 18 pts, 3 reb

RECAP: The Top Stars were short-handed once again, and for once, the Raining Rosebuds had some decent numbers. Newcomer (G) N’Kosi Gaddy proved to be an instant impact, shooting well from mid-range and finishing on the break. TOP did well to stay within reach entering the 4th qtr, but ran out of gas late in this one.

TDL Spring 2016 Week 4 Results

Guard Me Maybe (3-1) 66
NY Dynasty (2-2) 56
Thu (4/28) 6:45pm at MLK HS Boxscore
Player of the Game: Jin Bae Kim (GMM) 27 pts, 11 reb

RECAP: It was a shootout from the start, even though NY Dynasty had to play the 1st quarter with only 4 players on the court. But DYN (G) Ren Hsieh kept them in it with a season-high 35 pts. But it wasn’t enough DYN had no answer for GMM (F) Jin Bae Kim, who got it going early with athletic moves to the basket and (G) Tommy Wong backing him up from outside. The duo never let up, securing a big win. 
Doris From Rego Park (3-1) 61
Skillshare (2-2) 58
Thu (4/28) 7:45pm at MLK HS Boxscore
Player of the Game: David Weiss (DOR) 15 pts, 4 ast

RECAP: If you wanted parity in this division, you got it. Doris didn’t look good in their opener but they have bounced back well since, winning 3 straight. Skillshare has all the tools to make a title run, but they’ve dropped a couple games down at the wire. They could’ve just as easily been 4-0. But in this one, Doris made all the big shots down the stretch to pull out back and forth game that came down to the final shot.
NY Freemasons (2-2) 43
Spaghetti Ramen (2-2) 38
Thu (4/28) 8:45pm at MLK HS Boxscore
Player of the Game: Neil Dumadag (FRE) 15 pts, 8 reb

RECAP: The Freemasons don’t make it look very pretty, but they’ve evened up their record at 2-2 by holding teams to a league best 43.8 ppg. That is 8.5 ppg better than anyone else. FRE was aggressive attacking the basket, and playing the passing lanes. And eventually, Spaghetti Ramen lost the handle on this one. SPR has been a little uneven this season, but this was still a winnable game for them. They’ll have a chance to bounce back next week vs 2-2 NY Dynasty.
Make BDL Great Again (1-3) 68
NYC Gritty Committee (1-3) 64
Thu (4/28) 9:45pm at MLK HS Boxscore
Player of the Game: Tran Truong (BDL) 26 pts, 7 3FGs

RECAP: What a game, maybe the best regular season game we’ll see this spring. BDL started okay, but Gritty quickly took over as (G) Mark Lee caught fire from 3, hitting 4 straight. With (C) Vic Chia also playing well, NGC led by as much as 16 pts. Then BDL turned it around, forced TOs, and got out in transition. This freed (G) Tran Truong to unleash a firestorm of 3FGs to get back within single digits. When NGC turned their attention on him, (G) Paul Shen and (G) Jae Kim started knocking them down. (G) Nelson Yu and (C) Dan Tak put the finishing touches with a dagger 3 from Yu and a key late-game block from Tak that held off a Gritty team that ran out of gas.

TDL Spring 2016 Week 3 Results

NYK Spartans (0-3) 47
NY Dynasty (1-1) 74
Wed (4/27) 6:45pm at MLK HS Boxscore
Player of the Game: G. James (DYN) 22 pts, 2 reb

RECAP: The Spartans came in short-handed and never seemed to get on track despite keeping it close at halftime. Dynasty caught fire, however, in the 3rd quarter, scoring 29 points, their most in a period so far this season. And it was pretty much downhill from there. (F) Jin Hong paced the Spartans with 14 pts, 12 reb.
Guard Me Maybe (2-1) 46
That 70s Team (0-3) 51
Wed (4/27) 7:45pm at MLK HS Boxscore
Player of the Game: M. Petrovic (70S) 12 pts, 5 reb

RECAP: What was expected to be a shootout, turned into a defensive battle of speed vs brawn. And brawn just edged out speed as this game neared playoff intensity. Neither team shot well in what was an ugly game for both, but (F) Matija Petrovic made the big shots down the stretch to help his team eke out this win. 
Boomtown (1-1) 52
Free Agents (2-1) 61
Wed (4/27) 8:45pm at MLK HS Boxscore
Player of the Game: A. Aiyar (FAS) 18 pts, 3 ast

RECAP: The Agents got off to a fast start as new adds (G) Alok Aiyar and (F) Tyson Harnett seemed to fit in seamlessly with their style of play. But, as to be expected, Boomtown fought back into it in the middle quarters led by some nice finishes by (G) Keith Markovich, and (F) Nate Jones’ typical effort. It just wouldn’t be enough as Aiyar led his team with 18 pts to hold off BOO.
Sal Team 6 (2-1) 52
Tim Nubina (1-3) 44
Wed (4/27) 9:45pm at MLK HS Boxscore
Player of the Game: P. McClelland (SAL) 14 pts, 4 reb

RECAP: After a strong showing in their Week 1 win over MWW, Tim Nubina has now dropped two straight. This one to perennial contender Sal Team 6, which used their typical balanced scoring and tough defense to turn TIM’s reliance on the 3-pt shot into a weakness. TIM shot just 7-34 from behind the arc, a season-low. (F) Perun Kovacevic paced Nubina with 14 pts, 12 reb.

Recap: One of the most entertaining guard match-ups we’ve seen in a long time, DRK (G) Eric Kim and SPL (G) Caleb Lui battled to a relative stalemate but all eyes were on that match-up while (F) Andrew Tu came out of nowhere to help keep his team undefeated. SPL (F) Derek Lu finished with 26 pts.

Teal Curtain (4-0) 63
Sun (4/24) 5:30pm at Earth School Boxscore
Player of the Game: N. Scrovronick (TEA) 24 pts, 12 reb

Recap: Finally carrying more than five players, No Fly Zone made a run in the 3rd quarter to get back into this game, but Teal Curtain proved to be too big, and indeed still too deep for NFZ to ever really contest. TEA (F) Noah Scovronick dominated the paint, even with former Def MVP (F) Saleem Ahmed in for NFZ. (G) Ian Zack was also strong again, finishing with 16 pts.
