A good win. We shot well from the field (53%), especially when we needed it the last 10 minutes. Our second half defense was key. Really liked the way we made foul shots late. We are an undisciplined team and despite many good attributes, that prevents us from being what we can be for the full 40 minutes. Of course, 47% three point shooting helps overcome other things.
4 of our 5 starters shot over 50%, and Newton made up for being 30% from the field by going 5 for 5 from the line. He also displayed good ball security. We also had 4 starters in double figures and Joey C and Alleyne showed some spark as well.
The first half we carelessly turned the ball over. The second half we cleaned things up and play well despite some early fouls. Our rebounding was outstanding with a 20 rebound margin (40 to 20).
Absent the careless turnovers and fouls, we win by 30 points. The fouls I blame on both us and the refs who allowed PC to grab and push with immunity throughout a possession.
We still don’t know when we should or should not give a teammate the ball. Our centers shot 66%, but they were only 9 for 14. Andre played great defense. Really like him on the baseline on offense.
Karaban closed the game out well, and wasn’t abused on defense like the first time we played PC. When he is playing like he did the last 10 minutes, he plays with the polish of a junior or senior.
After some early turnovers, Hawkins played well and showed toughness and a beautiful shot despite early misses. He can make 20 points snd make it look easy.
