Week 6

Week 6: Week of Blowouts (Except 1) 

Week 6 we see 2 massive blowouts with the Oilers dominating the 0-5 (now 0-6) Thunder 80 - 52. Top performers from the Oilers included Ollie who scored 34 points and big man Ryan with 17 points and 8 blocks. The next blowout was Splash Fam absolutely taking it to the Hoopers and Shawn 98 - 65 and ending the game 4 minutes ealier than needed. Never before have we seen Hoopers quit so early in a game. Splash Fam could not miss and rode a league high 45 point night from Afan. 

Game of the night honours goes to the Lakerz and Golden State. A close match the entire game, Golden State came back from a small lead at half to win by 1. The ending of this game was as close as it can come in KPU League Basketball. At about 1 minute to go, the game was tied and Sumer from Golden State hit back to back 3's to create a 6 point lead. This was followed up by a Laker 3 to bring it back to a 1 score possesion. Following, crowd favorite Niko had the dagger opportunity off a clutch steal to put up a 5 point lead with 15 seconds left on a wide open fast break lay-up. Missed. This missed opportunity led to a Lakerz 2 and the game was put within 1. On a beautiful call from the referee, Golden State was called on a bad inbound pass and the Lakerz were given possesion with 9 seconds remaining and the chance to take the lead on a field goal. The Lakerz missed 3/3 (Vedant 2 and Parm the game winner) shots to take the lead and suffered their 5th loss of the season. 

Play of the night: Mo making a steal on the 6th Man and posterizing Gibran back to high school on a full extension dunk. #GETTHATOUTTAHERE
