In a very exciting and entertaining night of basketball in the LIME National Basketball Playoffs played last night (Wednesday) the Glam X-Men qualified for the finals and Gloria Shillingford Raptors avoided elimination by wining game two against the Juggernauts.
Game 1 – Gloria Shillingford Raptors 64 points to Salisbury Juggernauts’ 61; top-scoring for the Raptors were Steve Hypolite 19 pts, Devon Barton 14 pts and Curtis Akiel, 14 pts, while in a losing effort Ridge Vidal 18 pts and Esmond Andrew, 10 pts. The series is now tied 1-1. Game three will be played on Friday or Saturday at the Lindo Park. The wining team will meet the Rafoul Snipers of Paix Bouche in the finals.
Game 2 – In another nail-biting finish, the highly favored Glam X-Men survived a scare from the United Insurance Sharks by pulling off a last minute come back to win the game. With three minutes remaining the X-Men were down by nine points, but some tenacious defense and turnovers by the Sharks allowed the X-Men to get back into the game and allowed veteran player Davidson Toulon to hit a big three pointer with no time remaining to win the game. Final score: The Glam X-Men 73 points to United Insurance Sharks 70 points; top-scoring for X-Men were Simon Joseph 12 pts, Joseph Hypolite 12 pts and Davidson Toulon, 11 pts, and for Sharks Royce Ceasar 24 pts, JnoBaptiste 19 pts and Clem Nicholas, 10 pts.
