Nick G started to get loose with 5 points for ScoreGasms as his team was down by 6 in the quarter as we headed to the 2nd.
2nd quarter had the ScoreGasms come back a little and only be down by 1 and it was all because of the focus on rebounds from the bigs and guards which showed up on the stat sheet leading the category 27-10 which allowed for some 2nd chance points to shock the Air Jellem who started well.

4th quarter was all action inside as the struggle from deep continued for both teams, leaving it up to the bigs inside to sort out who wanted the rebounds more and put it back in for the crucial basket.

2nd quarter saw the same sort of pace on display as both teams were in it for the long haul as the grind of a game played out. Rogues were more active on D this quarter but still struggling with their shots with the D all over the shooters and the open shots just didnt knock down for them. Flatliners kept gettnig the ball to Damien who was hot so far on 3 of 3 shooting as Jason B was getting comfy at the line with 5 free throws so far helping the vets get some rest with the slow pace.
