OTE Kicks Off the New Year in Style

Saturday Night Results:

📍 City Reapers 94, Blue Checks 86

📍 Fear of God Athletics 92, Cold Hearts 89

Fear of God Athletics went on an unbelievable run late to comeback and defeat the Cold Hearts 92-89 thanks to some late game heroics from superstar Shon Abaev. With the game tied at 89 apiece, Abaev isolated himself at the top of the key and hit a step-back three right in Samis Calderon’s face with three seconds left to clinch the game 🤩

Abaev continues to make his case as the best player at OTE, finishing his night with 35 points which included an absurd eight made triples, while also pulling down six boards and dishing out four assists. Cayden Daughtry was a menace all over the court, using his elite first step to score 11 points and swiping a team-high three steals 🎯

For the Cold Hearts, Wei Zhao exhibited his calm, cool and collected style of play which resulted in 16 points and nine assists, as he is fully in control of the Cold Hearts offense. Kai Rogers dominated the paint per usual, as he finished with a team best 20 points, which included four emphatic jams 💪

The City Reapers got their revenge over the Blue Checks on Saturday night, avenging their buzzer-beating loss to the Checks right before the new year with a resounding 94-86 win. Meleek Thomas simply could not be stopped as he dropped 33 points, marking the third time in the last four games he has scored over 30, while also tying his season-high with 12 rebounds 😤

Micah Tucker scored some clutch buckets down the stretch, which included a big time and-1 on a big bonus opportunity. Tucker rounded out the night with 18 points on 67% shooting from the field. Amari Evans filled up the stat sheet again with eight points, five assists and eight boards and hounded the Blue Checks lead perimeter guys all night long 🐶

The trio of Josiah Parker, Kaden Magwood and Yohance Connor combined for 75 of the Blue Checks 86 points in an impressive scoring display. Parker was a menace down low, as he notched 26 points and a massive 15 rebounds. Magwood was splashing from deep, knocking down six triples on his way to a 25 point evening 👌

There will be more OTE action tomorrow as Fear of God Athletics take on the City Reapers at 3:30 PM before a rematch of the comeback of the year between RWE and the Cold Hearts at 5:30 PM. Both games can be watched on OTE’s YouTube channel 📱
