Simmons draws 2 quick fouls on their starting PG who leaves the game with 18:34 to go in the 1st half.

Our starters played brilliant for the next 13 minutes and didn't seem to tire until about the 5 minute mark when they gave up a 6-0 run. We are down 28-24 with 4:54 to go in the half and our starters take a break for the first time. Simmons has been great so far as has Cornette.


Li, Bowers, and Waters all score well to keep us tied up even with their scoring in the last 5 minutes. Tied at 37 at the half.

Simmons is the player of the half with 11 points, 3 assists, and 3 turnovers. He has shot 3 of 5, 1 of 2, and 4 of 6.


Down 56-51 with 11:15 left as my starters sit for a few minutes.

Things are going our way again.. first Bowers with a 3. Then, Waters with a steal and a pullup 3 on the break. Then, after a defensive stop, Ziri hits a 10 footer at the buzzer. We are up 59-56 with 8:03 to go.

Waters with a steal and a pass to Willis for a breakaway dunk. They finally hit a 14 footer to end our run. 61-58. After they get a steal and breakaway dunk, we respond with a 3 by Bowers to get our fans back into it. 64-60.

Simmons scored the next 6 points (12 foot jumper, shot from just inside the arc, and a layup on a drive) and then assisted on our last 2 baskets as we finished in style. 79-64 win!
