Game of the Week –Dealers over Megamind(63-61)

You may not know the background of this rivalry. 2 ex-MegaMinds are now with the Dealers and, well, you know how that goes!

Both teams were anticipating this matchup and this was a game for the ages. Dealers took the early lead with former MegaMind Vince Mendoza hitting the first shot of the game, a 3 pointer that set the tone for the night. Both teams were hitting all their shots, and after MegaMind started to take the lead late in the 1st half, Dealers decided to switch to man to take away the shooters. Barclay Roman and John Slattery were scoring at will, and the score remained tight all through the game. A few good stops by MM and with under a minute left in the game they took their first lead with a 3 pointer. Dave Treasure ended up with the ball under the basket and a foul was called for reaching in, that put him on the line with 4.4 seconds to play, he drained both free throws for a 1 point lead.Dealers had to call a TO to regroup. Shawn Blowthen took a shot with 1.8 seconds left and as the bell for the game sounded his shot found the bottom of the net. Replay confirmed the shot was taken before time expired!

Legend of the Week –Dave Tyson(HoundDogs)

Dave is on his game, and is dominating his division, even after moving up from B to A/B. This week, in the classic HoundDogs vs. GroundHogs (say that 3 times fast!), Dave poured in 24 for the win. He’s the top scorer in the division, averaging 18+ points a game. “I really didn’t want to move my HoundDogs up from B, but after winning last season, I guess we had to…but who knew Dave would remain so dominant!” stated HoundDog coach John Boneta.
