PLAAAAAAAAAYOFFS: Round 2

Date:  Source: Center Court League

Veteran Thunder 69 vs. Spartans 60:  The Thunder won this one in the opening 10 minutes as they raced out to a 23-9 lead as Elliot came out hitting from everywhere.  The Spartans had runs, and had the lead down to single digits much of the second half, but the ball just wouldn't drop consistently from behind the arc.  Dave Langille had 19 to pace the Spartans, but Elliot scored 31 to lead all scorers and get the Thunder into their first league title game.

Moneyball 53 vs. Knicks 48: The defense showed up from both teams in this classic Knicks - Moneyball battle, as the hundreds of fans saw scores of 11-9 with 10 minutes left in the first half and 23-21 at the break - it was exactly a shoot-out.  The Knicks had the momentum early in the second half going ahead 37-30, but Moneyball followed up with a 16-0 run that ended up deciding this one.  Knicks pulled to within 4 in the final minute twice but couldn't hit the big three to make it a one possession game and eventually just ran out of clock.  Gibb led all scorers and had 17 for the Knicks, while Clifton Riley led a balanced Moneyball attack with 14.
