Big Win

To the degree that my last update was difficult to write, this update is a joy. For we won a big game on the road tonight by two points. The team we played is fighting for a 4th place finish, but we controlled the game throughout, more or less, and came up big in the end.

One of the great things about the game is that numerous guys stepped up and made big plays. The team really came together and supported one another throughout. It is always a pleasure to be a part of such a team victory.

Final score, Karsiyaka 76 Banvit 78. I got a steal that led to a breakaway dunk with 3 seconds left. (Though I confess that I did foul my opponent…no call, but they did get away with a foul against me that led to a breakaway just a minute earlier!) They shot a fade away three at the buzzer, but it was long.

I also had the joy of playing one of my better games of the season. I ended up with 25 points on 9-14 shooting. I was determined to play aggressive, with no hesitation or fear, and was thankful that I was able to do just that. I am also hopeful that that can continue. For we now have two games remaining, both of which we must win in order to make the playoffs. Our next game is actually at home against one of the teams that is in the playoff race with us. I am hopeful we can finish strong.

Thankful for the games,
Joe
