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.
