RECAP: For the second week in a row, the NY Dynasty got off to a less than imperative start, but this time they got away with it. Playing without (F) George O’Garro in the lineup, and a late arriving (G) Landon Glover, it was the hot shooting of (G) Garrett James that held this one together for DYN. The Asphalt Ninjas showed some eye-catching young talent with college sophomore (G) Ryan Kennedy  leading the way with 24 points in his debut.

RECAP: This was the best game we’ve seen in the Premier so far this season as Meta World War faced as evenly matched a team as they’ve seen for some time. Sal Team 6 new additions (G) Scott Weisfeld & (G) James Hudson‘s creative scoring helped SAL go toe-to-toe with the defending champs. This was a game that could have easily gone either way, but MWW executed just slightly better than SAL down the home stretch, just enough to get the win.

RECAP: There were moments, namely when (G) Duke Stanojevic and (G) Stefan Perunicic were dropping deep 3-pt bombs from every angle, that it looked like Tim Nubina would run away with this game. But they never showed much sense of urgency on defense and left the door open for Bronx-Lebanon HC’s 31-pt 4th qtr to nearly steal this game. Give it up for BLH (G) Courteney Tabron who bounced back from a quiet Week 1 effort, and (F) Jimmy Noel, who hit four consecutive 3FGs in the 1st half to keep BLH in it. Nevertheless, it is TIM that improves to 2-0.

RECAP: If MWW vs SAL was the best played game so far this season, then this one has to be the most exciting. With a let down. The NYK Spartans, with off-season addition (F) Askia Davis leading the way, led by as much as 20 pts late in the 3rd qtr as a short-handed BK All Day struggled to find the stroke. But they never quit and didn’t panic. They turned up the intensity on D, wisely lured SPA into possessions late into the shot-clock, and answered with transition 3FGs, or more accurately 7 3FGs from (G) Honey Tufail in the game’s final 12 minutes to tie this game and force OT. In the extra period, NYK regained its composure and struck first. But BKA’s clock management, well played in regulation, just up and left them in OT with a mishandled loss.
