2 minutes into the 2nd half, Everett gets a 3rd foul on their center, Lampley. A minute later, he sets Santos up for a 3. Santos makes it despite getting fouled. 4 point play!

With 8:24 to go, our starters need a rest. We are leading 52-45.
An unexpected hero! Meeking hits 3 3's during the next 4 minutes. Sure, they were all open looks generated by passes from Santos (our only starter on the court) or Snow, but he doesn't usually knock those down. Tonight he was 3 of 3 on them and helped build our lead while our starters rested.
65-51 with 3 minutes to go when I finally get my rested starters back into the game.
Andres with a few big baskets down the stretch and we finish it off! 75-61 win
