TDL Spring 2016 Week 6 Results

2nd Division
TX Thunder (2-3) 37
Supreme Team (4-1) 39
Sun (5/8) 1:30pm at MLK HS Boxscore
Player of the Game: Jeff Syham (SUP) 15 pts, 7 reb

RECAP: After this decision, it’s not clear who should feel better. Supreme Team has had a big run, and this is the first team they’ve beaten this season with championship pedigree. They gutted out a tough win down the wire. On the other hand, the Thunder had a chance to win this while playing without two key starters, former MVP (G) Leuis Ng and (F) Kenneth Van. 
Gritty FOB City (2-3) 42
Wolverines (1-4) OT 43
Sun (5/8) 2:00pm at Graphics HS Boxscore
Player of the Game: A. Liveris (WOL) 13 pts, 5 ast, 4 stl

RECAP: Neither team saw particularly good shooting, but the Wolverines seemed to control this game until FOB City (G) Brent Morita led his team on a 11-0 run in the 4th qtr to take the lead. It took a big three from WOL (C) Mike Meng to force OT. Gritty would score first but (G) Anthony Liveris go-ahead 3FG gave WOL the 1-pt win in a narrow escape.
Ball So Hard (3-2) 57
Goat Herders (2-2) 42
Sun (5/8) 3:00pm at Graphics HS Boxscore
Player of the Game: S. Salar (BSH) 20 pts, 12 reb

RECAP: The truth is, the Goat Herders have offense. Even without (C) Gus Konidas in the lineup, they got 19 pts out of (F) Pete Tsevdos. But defensively, they’ve struggled all season. And with frustration on the defensive end, forced shots on offense tend to go up. Ball So Hard (F) Sherwin Salar ate up GOA’s defense inside and out. With balanced scoring down the rest of the roster, this was easy pickings.
Raptors (1-3) 38
Splappa (4-0) 66
Sun (5/8) 3:30pm at MLK HS Boxscore
Player of the Game: Derek Lu (SPL) 20 pts, 9 reb, 7 ast

RECAP: Before the Raptors even knew what hit them, Splappa was leading 41-13 at the half. But, even midway through the 2nd qtr, it wasn’t that bad. RAP didn’t look far off, but 11 1st half TOs later and it was over. Splappa has become a team you can’t give away possessions, and RAP did so freely with just flat out poor decision-making. SPL gave 13 TOs back in the 2nd half, but it was already over by then.
Dirk Digglers (3-2) 76
TAP NY (2-2) 50
Sun (5/8) 4:00pm at Graphics HS Boxscore
Player of the Game: Jim Liu (DRK) 18 pts, 7 reb, 1 stl

RECAP: If you’re not ready to play early on with the Dirk Digglers, get ready for a long day ahead. TAP found out the hard way, trailing 41-23 by halftime. Even after DRK (G) Eric Kim going down in the 3rd qtr, the Digglers had more than enough left to dispatch a TAP NY team that has struggled this season.
Flying Fairies (4-1) 48
Sex Panthers (2-2) 67
Sun (5/8) 6:00pm at Graphics HS Boxscore
Player of the Game: Chris Di (SXP) 25 pts, 10 reb, 2 stl

RECAP: The Sex Panthers got off to a fast start and that always helps this veteran squad. They’re one of the best teams in the league playing with a lead. Flying Fairies never got anything going until the 2nd half. But they never had an answer for (F) Chris Di in the paint, putting a vintage display of scoring efficiency.
