I don't remember the final score but it was something like 56-44. We beat Nothing But by 12 points.
I didn't dominate or anything but I had a solid game.
This was a happy night because of what happened after the game.

Health Net-Loss
April 16th, 2009, 6:30 PM PST @ Northrup Grunman in Woodland Hills
We cruised to an easy win last over Health Net. I believe the final score was 21-2. Mike Chan batted me in the leadoff spot for the first time (apparently I impressed him enough last week with 2 hit and a couple ribi's including a hustle-triple).
Too bad in my first at-bat I only took one ball and then swung at the second pitch that was clearly out of the zone and hit a weak grounder for an out. I did crush the ball in my next 3 at-bats including a left-handed at-bat. 3 for 4 with a couple more RBI's and runs scored.
That pitcher was weak though so we'll see how it goes next time out.

Payback
April 15th, 2009, 7:00 PM PST @ LA Fitness Hollywood
I didn't show up to the first outing when we played the Trojans. I got a text from Kev that night telling me that we lost...by 20. It's our only lost of the season. I'm not saying that I would of made a difference but three guys that did show up to that game were not there last night (John, Marlon, & Miles).
Either way, that wasn't good.
Round two was a different story. We beat the Trojans last night by eight points and were up pretty much all of the 2nd half between 8 and 11 points. They did cut the lead down to 4 points but never got closer than that.
I think the final score was 84-76.

Finally
April 14th, 2009, 7:00 PM PST @ Mar Vista Rec Cen
I finally had a good game at the Mar Vista Rec Cen. Actually, my first game was pretty good but the last 2 were pretty bad including last week's in which I thought it was one of my worst games ever. Good thing my teammates are pretty solid and they made up for my suckiness.
It was my turn in this game versus VIPs.
For some reason we just didn't play well all game and there was a point in the game that all our buckets were just coming off me making breakaway layups and slashing after a quick pump fake for easy points in the paint (I'm just too fast for the defense to rotate over).
As for some notable moments..Jesse hit a big three with about 5 minutes left to tie the game. Frank hit two free throws in overtime right after they stole the tip and got an and-1 to go up 3. We got a stop and then I got one of my layups to put us up 3. After they scored to cut it to 1, Brett hit a baseline jumper to put us up 3 and they missed a couple 3's after that and Kev iced the game with a couple free throws.
We won by 5 points in overtime. I think the final score was something like 59-54.

We lost by 3 points to this team called Zoom. I played pretty well in this game except we didn't really play any defense. We were down by 9 at halftime and led by 7 after three quarters.
We were down by 3 points with 11 seconds and had 3 cracks at tying it with me missing the final shot as time expired. It was a wide-open shot, after James tapped out a missed 3-pointer that went straight into my hands. I'm not sure how I missed this shot but I just missed it. Good game us.
