We won the rebounding battle 36-21 which as a huge help. Did well from the line going 12-17. Helped that the Bearcats were poor from the line, including missing 3 front ends of 1 and 1s (cost a potential 6 points).
Was kind of crazy that when Shark got shoved off of the floor, earning a flagrant 2 on the opponent, that we came away with zero points.
Ezra started hot early, but opponent got aggressive, perhaps getting away with a few uncalled fouls and he got frustrated and was T’d up. Dawes had a good stretch in the second half helping up get back out in front.
I’ve been calling for Gabe to step inside the circle and attempt more makeable mid range jumper when his treys aren’t dropping which he finally did last night. He was 1-6 outside the arch last night (had another that went in but was waved off due to a moving screen) but a few of his misses were to beat the shot clock.
Team is showing they can compete with the lower part of this very challenging league. Glad that in a few recent close games (in particular the OT game against TD$$$) we’ve been able to pull it out down the stretch.
