Top Seed Tested
Game: 51
The undefeated powerhouse Tropics squared off against the 2-4 Courtside squad on Tuesday night. Quick and easy victory, right? Not exactly. After quarter #1, Courtside held a 29-25 lead and had the Tropics reeling. Cleary taken off guard, they decided to switch up their offense and sat in a zone to thwart the screen and roll which had proved effective for Courtside. This move turned out to be the difference in the game as it took most of the second quarter for Courtside to make the necessary adjustments to attack the zone. In the meanwhile, the edge and momentum shifted to the Tropics as they outscored their dazzled opponent 27-14 in the frame. The teams played to draw in the 3rd and Courtside made a push to narrow the gap in the 4th as they won the quarter by 7 points. Unfortunately for them, the 2nd quarter deficit was too large to overcome and they fell in formidable defeat by a score of 99-89. Robbie Valpreda and Gregg Frankson were the offensive catalysts in the win with 32 and 27 points respectively. Kyle Saban once again orchestrated the flow of the attack dishing 9 assists in the process. Lee Chanin and Shane Leman confirmed their All-Star status in their farewell contest with 21 and 20 respectively. The win sets up a dynamic semi-final for the Tropics as they face the peaking Vandalay. Can the Tropics solve some potential mismatch problems? Can Vandalay find an answer for the dynamic duo? Only time will tell.
