Week 4 September 21, 2011 Asian 35+ Division News

Wednesday night basketball at Up 2 Speed Sports never fails to deliver.  Great games, incredible plays, and outstanding performances.  There is one undefeated team and one winless team that came out of Week 4.  Game Summary:

Joyful Smile vs Legends

Team Captain Edgar Espanola is back and tried to get his team off to a good start against the tough Legends team.  Joel and Dindo for the Legends had another thing in mind and welcomed Edgar back with a flurry of great finishes at the basket and stingy defense.  Joyful Smile's Rich and Kit were firing away at the basket making key buckets in the second half but Kobe made some key plays to slow down the Joyful Smile run.  Dindo hit a tough three pointer to seal the victory for the Legends... awesome game from both of these teams!

Joyful Smile 49   Edgar E. 13 pts and 7 rb
Legends 56    Joel 15 pts and 5 rb

Nimisis vs Code Black

When you have two fast teams on the same court you can expect exciting plays.   Nimisis coming off of their first win last week wanted to continue their winning ways against the hungry Code Black who have not won a game this season.  Nimisis came out firing away and got out early to take the lead with Rodell in the drivers seat.  Code Black kept the game close with Warren and Mark setting up Tony for open threes and Nik eating up all the rebounds.  With both teams seeking control of the game the pace got faster and more physical down the stretch. Code Black had a 1 point lead with seconds left in the game until Jonathan hit a tough three with 4 seconds left in the game.  Code Black was unable to execute in the remaining seconds of the game.  This is the game of the week!  Congratulations to Nimisis for a great win!


Nimisis  51   Rydell M. 15 pts, 9 rb, 3 stl, 2 blk and 3 stls
Code Black  49  Tony S. 19 pts and 6 rb

Bula vs NoyP-Forex

What a match up!  Bula came into the game with a 3-0 record and NoyP-Forex wanted to be the ones to give them their first loss of the season.  Needless to say NoyP-Forex has the balls and talent to do it.  Bula's size was a factor in the first half of the game.  The twin towers Lito and Sam controlled the boards and scored easily in the paint.  Fred and Mike for NoyP-Forex put up a flurry of points on the board to keep the game manageable with Mike going "Reggie Miller" from beyond the arc.  The game was close in the second half but the second unit for Bula prove to be the key to their win.  Bula's Robert made key buckets to hold off NoyP-Forex's run to get their fourth win of the season and still undefeated! This is a must see game!

Bula   48  Lito G. 17 pts and 11 rb
NoyP-Forex   44  Mike V. 18 pts, 4 rb, 6 threes
