Victory!

Greetings everyone,

I am happy to report that we won a close game this evening. It was against a playoff team, so it wasn’t easy. Add to that that I struggled shooting the ball and we had a new player and one of our players just got back from the States last night and it was a challenge! But we pulled it out. It feels great.

Final score: Banivt 80 Antalya 78. I was 2-10 shooting with 5 points. But I did hit a big three with a minute or so to go and most of my shots felt good and seemed like they were going in, but it was just one of those nights. As I told Erin, I would take hitting that three for making 5-10. Though if I had hit 5-10, we probably would not have needed the three! I also blocked a shot with 5 seconds to go or so. That felt good also. It actually feels good to have your team win the game when you don’t have your best game. Definitely takes the pressure off to play great every night.

Anyhow, it was a huge win for us. We have 5 games remaining. And we can win all 5. If we do so, I think we have a good chance at making the playoffs. I am praying we can do just that.

Erin just said to me, “It feels nice to be able to write about a win huh?” Really nice indeed. I just hope I can do the same after our game on Sunday!

Enjoying the victory,
Joe
