Week 7 September 11, 2011 D League News

Elite vs Primetime
For starters this was one of the best match ups of the season.  It was due to be a contender for game of the week.  Elite is the savvy and athletic team vs Primetime the high IQ and speed that kills team.  The first quarter was bit of a feeling out process.  Elite picked up some new and exciting players this season, one in particular Joven B., a point guard that complements Nikole Bautista and Chris Del Rosario perfectly.  Primetime picked up Anthony G. a dream player to have on your team: athletic, high IQ, and can do everything on the court.  Elite started to pull away in the second quarter with John T. leading the way on easy buckets to the hoop and hitting his shots from the outside.  By the second half Elite started to build their lead in the double digits with great team work and passing.  Juan M. kept Primetime close with two three pointers and great drives to the hoop.  Collin S. and Marco C. came in to inject more speed and lock down defense.  The combination of the classic Primetime press and trap proved to be the factor for their comeback in the 4th quarter.  Elite started to unravel ever so slowly and succumbed to the Primetime pressure.  Alex M. and Anthony G. tandem put Primetime in the lead with a few minutes left on the clock.  An and 1 from Anthony G. put Primetime up for good and sealed the win for them.  This was an outstanding game that everyone can enjoy at  Up 2 Speed Sports Channel

Code Green vs SF Warriors
The young and the restless Code Green led by two fearless leaders in Jason R. and AJ A., won their first game of the season versus an incomplete Bula team, came into this game with some confidence but was missing their leading rebounders Chris S. and Justin E..  SF Warriors came into the game without a win but was hungry for their first win of the season.  The game started fast.  Jason R. started out well hitting most of his threes in the first half of the game.  JD (Jeffrey D) sped his way to the basket, slicing and dicing, doing whatever he wanted to his defender.  It was a close game until Steven F., Martin V. and Josh for the SF Warriors got hot and hit everything in sight.  AJ A. for Code Green did what he could to keep the game close but Aaron A. for Code Green fouled out and the SF Warriors was able to close out the game easily to get their first win of the season.  Congratulations SF Warriors!  Go to Up 2 Speed Sports Channel  to watch this game.

Spartans vs ATR
The two hottest teams in the league both coming into this game with a four game winning streak.  Spartans gave Primetime, one of the best teams in the D League, their first loss of the season in a thriller of a game.  ATR beat most of the teams they faced all season with controlling the boards, excellent defense, and outstanding ball movement on offense.  Their only lost coming from Primetime.  This season the Spartans retooled their team and added some outstanding players, Nav S., Alonzo R. and  Masoto H..  The game started out even with both teams trading tough baskets throughout the game.  It got physical as the game went into the fourth quarter.  Team Captain Drexel F. made some amazing plays for the Spartans but the true gem for them was Nav S.  which contributed timely points, assists and big steals in the remaining minutes of the game.  But in true ATR fashion the Lee Brothers, Jon and Will, took over the game.  Corey S. and Allen F. played off of each other well.  Jun G. sealed the game with his big double double 17 points and 10 rebounds.  This game was truly a game that you can watch over and over again.  Go to up Up 2 Speed Sports Channel to watch this incredible game.

Dragons vs Avengers
The Dragons came into this game as the only undefeated team in this tough D League Division but... in this game they did not have the one and two leading scorers in the D League Joey S. and Daryl C..  The Avengers had a four game losing streak coming into this game and was looking to fight tooth and nail to get back on the winning track.  Despite their short bench, the Dragons got off to a great start with Rob C. catching fire early.  Hervin M., Vince M. and Mike followed his lead with Xavier doing all the dirty work that kept the Dragons in control of the game in the first half with great ball movement and teamwork.  Gino V. by halftime rallied his team to capture the lead for good in the fourth quarter.  Chris M. lead the way for the streaking Avengers with 9 points and 7 rebounds.  Key performances from Gabe M., Paolo D. and Steven M. helped get the Avengers back on the winning track and give the Dragons their first loss of the season.  Go to Up 2 Speed Sports Channel to watch the Game of the Week.
