Globo Gym Puts on a CLINIC! 31 Assists, 13 Blocks in Rout of Cardinals
Globo Gym bounced back in a huge way, blowing the doors off the visiting Fondy Cardinals with a 104-78 victory. The 18,610 home fans witnessed a masterclass in team basketball, as Globo Gym won this game while playing at a lower effort level than their opponents.
The game was won in a jaw-dropping second quarter where Globo Gym exploded for 37 points, turning a close game into a 60-35 halftime laugher.
It was a total team effort for the home squad, who dished out an incredible 31 assists on 40 made baskets. The defense was just as dominant, registering a 13-block party! C. Cutler and A. Kisos were defensive anchors, each swatting 5 shots. Kisos also added 7 assists and 8 rebounds in a fantastic all-around game.
The scoring was perfectly balanced, with five players hitting double figures:
L. Dingfu: 18 pts, 5 reb
B. Salgado: 16 pts, 4 reb
C. Debackere: 15 pts, 9 reb, 3 ast (in 48 minutes!)
F. Prestidge: 15 pts (5-7 FG)
B. Law: 14 pts, 6 reb, 5 ast
The Cardinals were simply ice-cold from the field (35.5%) and abysmal from deep (2-for-14). M. Grebičević led his team with 17 points and 6 assists, but it wasn't nearly enough.
Globo Gym evens their record at 3-3, while the Fondy Cardinals continue to slide, falling to 1-5.
