SACG Playaz vs. 64 Points for Divinity
This evening Eric, Sandra and I went to dinner about 5:00 pm. It was a little early to eat dinner, but we had a place to be. That place was the IMA. The reason we had to be there was to watch my brother play in his basketball game. The winning team was the team who reached 50 points first or whoever was leading after 50 minutes. Sandra was keeping score.
My brother has been practicing with these guys for a couple months now and each Wednesday he plays a game against another team in his league. The competition in the league is not real tough, but everyone likes to play and have fun, so the games are always good.
Tonight my brother played against '64 Points for Divinity'. The game started at 6:00 pm and that is when we got there. No one really had any time to warm and the other team was short a player, so they picked up a guy from the sideline. Even though he was not an official member of the team no one minded. He seemed like a regular player to everyone on my brother's team, so they let him join the other squad. I had seen him play before and I knew he could shoot, so I was a little concerned. No one on my brother's team realized because they were all worried that they did not have sufficient warm up time.
The game starts with the ball in the hands of the opponent. They quickly give it to the man they picked up from the sideline (I will call him 'the pick up' from now on). He quickly drained a 3 pointer. No one seemed worried yet. SACG Playaz move the ball down the court and make a 2 pointer. 64 Points for Divinity bring the ball back up the court and pass it to the pick up and he drains another 3. At this point I was a little worried because I did not want to to see my brother lose. Sandra and I cheer and give my brother's team some support as they score another 2 points.
The score remained pretty close for the next 10 minutes or so, but the opponents never gave up the lead to my brother's team. When Jason from the SACG Playaz, a critical set up man who makes good passes, subbed out I got a little worried. After the substitution I noticed that their defense was weakened because it was less organized. After a few more minutes of play the opponents were up by 6 points. At this point I knew there was a lot of time left because the score was 21 to 15, 64 Points for Divinity.
64 Points for Divinity kept a steady lead until they reached 30 points. At this point the game started to changed. The pick up was not hitting as many 3's as before and he even threw up an air ball. I think he started to get anxious and his teammates were not helping much either. They had a lot of open shots and second chance opportunities , but nothing was falling for them. This is when Jason and Eric connected on a Karl Malone and John Stockton level, with my brother as the Mailman himself. These two players led the team on a 18-2 run. My brother would back his opponent down low and post up. Jason would feed him the ball, Eric would receive the ball, turn and shoot. The shot was almost unstoppable. Other SACG Playaz started to heat up with some sweet drives to middle where they would stop and pull up for the short jumper.
Everyone on the other team seemed to get anxious as they saw the game running away from them. The pick up did something predictable and tried to take the game on his own shoulders by shooting a few more 3's but they did not fall. He made some good feeds to his teammates, but they were unable to capitalize. As time ran out the score was 49-35, SACG Playaz in the lead. What an exciting game! Congratulations to Eric and the rest of his team!
