Friday Night Wins
Game Results:
In the first game of the night in Atlanta, Blue Checks took on RWE in front of a sold out crowd at OTE Arena. The Blue Checks used a big first quarter and kept RWE’s offense under control to get the big win. Jahseem Felton and Rakease Passmore both scored 19 points and Paul Jones III had 17 points 💪
Playing shorthanded from injuries, RWE kept trying to make a charge to steal a win, but the Blue Checks had an answer for every run. They got within three multiple times late in the fourth, but never were able to capture a lead. There were only eight lead changes in the game because the Blue Checks were in control throughout - the biggest lead was 16 points, and RWE only led a total of 1:41 in the game 🥵
Karter Knox finished with a double-double of 22 points and 11 rebounds. Darrion Sutton had his second double-double of the weekend with 11 points and 11 rebounds, and Lincoln Cosby scored in double figures for the first time with 11 points
In the second game of the night, the City Reapers poured it on the YNG Dreamerz, winning 90-72, outrebounding the Dreamerz by 16. The game was tight at halftime, but the City Reapers used a run early in the fourth quarter to slowly stretch out their lead to double digits and never looked back. The Dreamerz battled until the end with Eli Ellis, who went for 40 points on 14 of 31 shooting 🔥
Jahki Howard led the City Reapers with 21 points, and four other players scored in double figures on the night. Bryson Tiller had another double-double with 13 points and 12 rebounds 🏹
There was a third OTE game on the night, played in New York City between Jelly Fam and the Cold Hearts. Adam Oumiddoch was a star, scoring 26 points and helping the Cold Hearts get a 20-point win
Jelly Fam led after the first quarter, but the Cold Hearts locked in on defense, holding them to just seven points in the second quarter and Jelly Fam couldn’t recover. The wins push the City Reapers in first place with a 4-1 record, but the Blue Checks are right behind them at 3-1, along with the Cold Hearts at 3-1 ⭐️
