Week 3 Recap

#1 Men 30 - #9 Malkin 26

IT WAS OVER WHEN...GAME BALL GOES TO...QUOTE
Men erased a 4 point halftime deficit to go up 25-20. Then they just held the lead with slow, methodical possessions, and got the W.
Malkin's team strategist. Malkin was ready to play against the #1 team in the land, and came out and shut down Willy Moore, something they knew they needed to do. Although they lost, it was still a moral victory for Malkin.
"I decline a postgame interview" - Alex Hankin

"I wont miss another Night League game" - TJ Keene
Up Next: Men vs. Elect Judge Jim Wascher (Jan. 7). Malkin vs. Ortega (Jan. 7).
#2 Barifinkle Please Sit on My Face 40 - #14 Tallula 33

IT WAS OVER WHEN...GAME BALL GOES TO...QUOTE
Barifinkle went up 9 on a Charlie Gilvarg layup with 30 seconds left. That ended Tallula's upset dream.
Conor Healy. Healy dropped 14 for Barifinkle, leading them to a closer than predicted win. Healy's 14 included a 40 foot bomb in the second half.
"I had 14. Gilvarg had like 8. Chris and Murny had like 12. Berceau banked a few shots" - Conor Healy

Up Next: Barifinkle vs. We Are Huge in Japan (Jan. 7). Tallula vs. Globo Gym Purple Cobras (Jan. 7).
#3 Globo Gym Purple Cobras 51 - #16 Hungry Unicorns 23
IT WAS OVER WHEN...GAME BALL GOES TO...QUOTE
The Cobras started the game up 8-0. They never looked back, and led the entire game.
Matt Haller. Matt overcame dirty playing by the Unicorns, and ended up with 18 of the Cobras 51 points, including 6 on the charity stripe.
"Cole Gaines isn't, like, a cool kid. He's not a cool guy"- Anonymous
Up Next: Globo Gym Purple Cobras vs Tallula (Jan. 7). Hungry Unicorns vs. Tuesday's With Morrie (Jan. 7).
#4 AK-47 34 - #11 Attack the Rack 32

IT WAS OVER WHEN...GAME BALL GOES TO...QUOTE
David Mulford lost it, and the game was called. After 2 clutch Daniel Oraham jumpers, it was 32-32, but Kraz knocked down 2 free throws and the game was called. Mulford was throwing elbows, and tackled Gorodetsky.
Daniel Oraham. Although he was on the losing team, Oraham kept Attack the Rack in the game that was about to be upset of the year. He made back to back 17 footer swishes to bring Rack from down 2 to up 2, 32-30. They couldn't close the deal, but a great game.

"What the F*** is your problem you ADD child" - Robert Gorodetsky talking to David Mulford after a foul

"It was unsportsman like of him to disrespect me and my team like that" - Mulford




Up Next: AK-47 vs. Theo (Jan. 7). Attack the Rack vs. AD (Jan. 7).
#13 Boo Radley and Friends 32 - #5 Ortega 25

IT WAS OVER WHEN...GAME BALL GOES TO...QUOTE
Ortega's offense went cold. After leading by 1 at halftime, and at one point 5 in the second half, the Ortega offense stopped scoring leaving the door open for Spencer Levin and Boo Radley and Friends.
Spencer Levin. Spencer scored 18 points, and proved that last week's game was the aberration for Boo Radley, and they're now 2-1.
"I mean I know it's like the classic thing to blame it on the ref, but he did not call that game equally" - Ben Morton
Up Next: Boo Radley and Friends vs. Brown (Jan. 7). Ortega vs. Malkin (Jan. 7).
#6 Oklahoma City Thunder 40 - #15 We Are Huge in Japan 23

IT WAS OVER WHEN...GAME BALL GOES TO...QUOTE
Japan's schedule was released in November, and it showed OKC Thunder in Week 3.
Jeff Dsida. Dsida is the reason why OKC can win (besides their weak schedule) and look for him to lead them to the A playoffs.
"The best team we play is Brown, and they suck" - Jeff Dsida, on his team's schedule.


Up Next: Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Ba Dunk-A-Dunk (Jan. 7). We Are Huge in Japan vs. Barifinkle/Team Sit on My Face (Jan. 7).

#8 Theo 31 - #7 Brown 24

IT WAS OVER WHEN...GAME BALL GOES TO...QUOTE
Joe Lankford and Harry Furse started to click after the first half. At the break, it seemed like the game could swing either way, with Brown up 1.
Joe Lankford. Lankford is the player that makes Theo click. Without him in Week 2, a disappointing loss to Ortega. With him in Week 3, a redeeming win vs. Brown.
"We're not that good" - Stu Brown, after the loss

Up Next: Theo vs. AK-47 (Jan. 7). Brown vs. Boo Radley and Friends (Jan. 7).
#10 AD 51 - #18 Ba Dunk-A-Dunk 27

IT WAS OVER WHEN...GAME BALL GOES TO...QUOTE
Brandon Batt fully recovered from last week's fake ankle injury. Batt is being advertised as the most underrated shooter in Night League.
Brandon Batt. This kid has been doing special things all year for 3-0 AD. He helped his stats tonight with another 20 point game.
In response to being asked who played the best tonight for AD: "Me. Put me as MVP of that shit" - Brandon Batt

Up Next: AD vs. Attack the Rack (Jan. 7). Ba Dunk-A-Dunk vs. Oklahoma City Thunder (Jan. 7).
#12 Elect Judge Jim Wascher 32 - #17 Tuesday's With Morrie 16


IT WAS OVER WHEN...

Judge Jim Wascher went on an 8-0 run at the end of the first half. They never looked back.

GAME BALL GOES TO...

Scott Gantner. Gantner led Wascher to a much needed win, and as team captain, will need to get his team better over the break if they, at 1-2, want a chance at the A playoffs.
