Game 141 - vs. Waterway
(55-60)
The Os kicked off the last season of 2008 on an unprecedented successful run and aimed to continue it against Waterway. The game was close throughout and could have tipped either way. The first half started with competitive play inside, leading to a technical on Waterway's big guy. That helped the Os build a 28-25 lead at the half.
The second half was not as successful, even though the Os benefitted from another technical. The game stayed close, with the Os down between 3 and 6 points for most of the last few minutes. The Os knew what to do and unleashed a barrage of 3 pointers, resulting in a new Os record of 26 for the game. Unfortunately, not enough went down and the Os were not able to overcome the deficit.
In an interesting development, the Os had numerous players post equal points and rebounds. And None posted a solid 8 points and 8 rebounds. The Giant posted 5 points and 5 rebounds and pulled off a cartwheel. E-Bomb had 4 points and 4 rebounds, with Steve-O posting 2 points and 2 rebounds. Jake had a solid game with career highs of 4 three pointers and 4 assists (offset somewhat by his new Os record of 14 3-point attempts, costing him in the voting). The fans were represented in Ophy voting with 1 vote for Heather. Roster Guard was the clear Ophy winner with 5 votes, 19 points, and a new Os record of 8 assists, shattering the old record of 6.
