Arbroath Sports Centre
The boys started the 2nd round of play off games with a trip to Arbroath. This game was critical for Arbroath, as a loss would effectively rule them out of the title race.
1st Quarter
With the above in mind, Arbroath came out fired up and was a horror show for us as we repeatedly turned over the ball, racing to a 25 – 8 lead at the end of the quarter.
2nd Quarter
Having explained to the players that they shouldn’t panic and that we slowly cut back the lead in small bite size chunks. This was exactly what we did, getting some good stops and scoring some great shots wining the quarter 20 – 11 for a half-time score of 28 – 36
3rd Quarter
Arbroath stemmed the tide a little in the third however, they were beginning to get into foul trouble which would ultimately be their downfall.
4th Quarter
This Kings team doesn’t lie down easily and everybody raised the intensity of their games at both ends of the floor, making steals, rebounding and hitting three pointers. As Arbroath began to have key players foul out, we punished them from the free throw line, winning the quarter 26 – 14 and the game 72 – 67.
Summary
Another fantastic Gold league game, with both teams slugging it out in a dramatic 40 minutes of basketball.
Top Scorers: Craig Reilly 22, Rory Connolly 19, Eoghan Dover 15
