8/6 game one recap

In the first game of the King of Kings post season, Team Motivated was all over 99 Problems, winning 92-59 in blowout fashion. The loss eliminates 99 Problems from the playoffs and sends Team Motivated to the semi-finals Friday evening.

99 Problems showed glimpses of hope throughout the game, but a lack of stops defensively and very little offense turned out to be too much to overcome. With three minutes remaining in the first quarter 99 Problems was only down four points, but that was as close as they would get to winning.

The majority of the game was owned by Team Motivated. Even without standout center Dajuan Coleman, Team Motivated had a distinct size advantage that they used to get to the basket. Throw in the fact that the team was hitting outside shots, and 99 Problems had their hands full.

The leading scorers for Team Motivated were Alshwan Hymes and Mickey Davis, who finished with 26 and 18 points respectively. 99 Problems was led by Josh Wright, who finished with a less than satisfactory 21 points. Team Motivated looks to continue their winning ways in their semi-final match Friday evening at Notre Dame. The team and time are TBD.
