Week Nine Results – Winter/Spring 2010 Season
Feature Game
SWAT (9-0) 90 – Bullets (6-3) 45
SWAT go undefeated for the year throwing a beat-down on the Bullets with a statement win. Andrew Sturgeon led all scorers with 30 points while teammate Tommy Nixon added 24 in what was a lopsided game from the get-go. SWAT jumped out to a 12 point lead within the first 12 minutes of play, scoring continually in transition, taking advantage of the Bullets ice-cold shooting. The Bullets, who were without top forward Jaime Robinson, were stifled by SWAT’s defense and couldn’t find a shooter who wasn’t challenged. SWAT played their best defensive half of the season holding the Bullets to a season low 18 points in the first half, taking a 43-18 lead into the break. The final 25 minutes were much of the same with Sturgeon and Nixon scoring with ease and opening up the shooting lanes for their teammates. Ben Lee led the Bullets in scoring with 11 points. With the loss, the Bullets slip to third place setting up a first round playoff match with Team Serbia.
