Tough Lost At Romema to Megido

Friday, November 16, 2007

Saturday November 3rd 2007 - We lost our third game in a row, this one 78-80 at home to Megido. This is a game we felt we would win, we were up by 13 points in second quarter and did not hold the lead at home. We strongly thought we were the better team, but this is why the game is palyed and score is kept. We lost on a last second shot, from a long outlet pass to a player on the run for a short bank shot. We had our center playing deep, but he was slow in reacting to the long outlet pass. Our defensive player responsible for guarding the opponent who scored did not keep his body between the opponent and the basket, basic basketball defense.
I do not think the defensive lapse in the final seconds is why we lost. Without the defensive lapse in final second we probably would have lost in overtime. The trend in our lack of defense started in 3rd qtr and continued into 4th qtr. We allowed Megido to make six 3pt shots in the 4th quarter and take the lead, this is why we lost the game. Once again poor 3 pt defense.
