3-0 Night for the ATL

Game Results:

After trailing by 13 early in the game, the Diamond Doves stormed all the way back to take a lead with 2:45 left in the game, before eventually falling to the City Reapers, 58-51. With their win, the Reapers moved back into a tie for second in the standings alongside the YNG Dreamerz with a record of 9-4. For the Reapers, it was Amari Evans who led the way in scoring, with 12 points on a perfect 4-for-4 shooting from two-point range 💯

Instrumental in helping the City Reapers survive the Doves comeback attempt was Efeosa Oliogu, who was the only other Reaper to broach double-digit scoring with ten points in the contest. Jah Jackson came up big for the Reapers, as his protection of the paint was largely responsible for the Doves low shooting percentage - he also pulled down a game-high 11 boards 🛑

With Ketraleus Aldridge out of the game, Jeremiah Johnson stepped up big time for the Diamond Doves, scoring 20 points, his sixth game this season scoring 20+ points. Also having a strong game for the Diamond Doves was newcomer Ethan Croley, who, in his first game this season for the Doves, scored eight points and pulled down six boards 🆕

The second game of the night turned into a duel between Karter Knox and Larry Johnson, as the two combined for 46 points, before Knox and RWE emerged with a 88-76 victory. RWE is back at .500 after their win on Thursday evening and are within sniffing distance of the top half of the league. Knox had an excellent night, finishing the game with 21 points to go along with eight rebounds and six assists 🔥

Elsewhere for RWE, Daquan Davis, the league’s leading assist man, was spectacular once again with 15 points, eight rebounds and a game-leading six assists. Freshman Jayden Wilkins caught fire at the end of the game, finishing with a career-high 23 points on an astounding seven three-pointers made 👌

For Rolling Loud, Johnson continued his stellar breakout season with 25 points, the sixth time he has crossed the 20-point threshold, as there continues to be no one in the league with a better combination of driving and finishing ability. Dominick Stewart was rock-solid in his role as support man to Johnson, knocking down two more triples, leading to 23 points on the evening 🪣

In Lexington, NC, the Cold Hearts took down the Blue Checks 79-75 in a game that was a nail-biter from start to finish. The Cold Hearts have now won three in a row and are in sole possession of first place in the standings for the first time this season. John Bol continues to be a monster down low, as he registered his seventh double-double of the season with a mammoth stat line of 22 points and 15 rebounds 🥶

OTE will host three more games tomorrow across two different cities, with the night getting underway with a battle between the Diamond Doves and RWE on Prime Video at 7PM 📱
