Lions A dominated this encounter from start to finish, with a fitter and more energetic A side claiming the victory. Dan Brown was inspirational as he led the game in scoring with a massive 44 points. Brown and Slasor worked particularly well together, especially on the fast break. The B team played well in patches but they couldn't contain the speed of both Brown and Slasor. Collins and Kara performed well for the B team with Collins collecting a bounty of rebounds to provide additional chances and although she missed on a few occasions, she rounded off a good game with 16 personal points. Kara made some good moves throughout the game but his lack of fitness was evident at times, allowing the opposition too many fast breaks. In the second quarter Daniel Paxton halted the A teams fast break for a while, only for Slasor to step up with some big jump shots.

 

In the third quarter Dan Brown went on a rampage scoring 16 straight points, all of his teams tally for the third quarter!

 

The fourth quarter was almost too difficult for the B team as they tired and with only four players due to holidays and absences there were no substitutes.

 

The standard of basketball on display was excellent. The defence still needs some more attention but offensively Collins, Kara, Slasor, Dodgson and the impressive Brown put in performances to be proud of.

 

Brown was awarded the MVP for an all round superb game from diving for the ball to his massive points contribution.
