Week 2 Part 2Pancakes with Jam and Cream defeated Lewisham Wombats (98-96)By far the match of the round for the West. An injury to Trimailovas after halftime break didn't help the Wombats cause. With pride at stake, the two Kevin big boys fought it out the whole night with a massive twist at the end of the game.
2 WTF moments + 1 BS = Negative 3 MVP points for new Wombats recruit AwangWombat fans are outraged with the recent signing of the Australian national superstar. Questions are raised whether Awang choked under the pressure or did it have something to do with the man he met just before the start of the final quarter who handed him a very large paperbag?

4 0:00 96 — 98 J. Dowd (H) forces up a three from the top of the arc, guarded closely by H. bin Awang (A). Scored.
4 0:00 96 — 98 A buzzerbeater for J. Dowd (H)!
4 0:00 96 — 98 End of period.
1. 7 seconds left on the clock Jaanus fouls Awang and bring him to the line only to see him miss two free throws after shooting a perfect 3-3 the whole night.
2. Right on buzzerbeater Dowd forces a three with Awang "guarding closely" only to let Dowd score his only 3 point for the night.
3. First game of the Buzzerbeater league season up against the Bogans see Awang scream in pain after 3 minutes on the court. This sees him on the sideline for the next 2 weeks. The fans certainly won't be pleased with his performances so far.
Another difficult game to cast the 3-2-1 MVP votes. All the big men had a great game but was unable to clearly get on top of their opponents. Really tempted to give Dowd some points even after Awang shocking final seconds of the game.
3. Plinio Couto Costa (PAN) 20 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists
Just snuck in for the 3. Had no rest for the night playing the full 48 minutes with 7 points in the final term. Did well defensively restricting his direct opponents to shooting 6-16. Shocking from the 3 point line 0-8.
2. Birol Yalduz (LEW) 14 points, 8 rebounds
Did well in a team effort restricting his opponent to only 6-18 as well as 3 turnovers.
1. Maciej Kuman (PAN) 23 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists
Kuman just got the solitary point. Good all round effort, poor shooting from the 3 point line 1-7 and failed to stop Kremer from scoring. But dominated the boards against Kremer.
Monkey Business defeated Kynlala Knights (95-88)The Monkeys are back in business after coming back from being down at the main break. The only game in the West to feature a non mano to mano defence which may have cost the Knights the victory.
3. Dimitris Patziaras (MON) 17 points, 13 rebounds
Kept the team in the game at halftime. Patziaras would have to be pleased with Tau only shooting 3-11.
2. Duong Ton (KYN) 19 points, 6 assists
Ton's defensive pressure was outstanding which his direct opponents only shooting 4-16 although they had 8 assists between them.
1. Shi Deguang (MON) 15 points, 18 rebounds
Deguang dominated the boards but gave up a little too many points to the Knights big men. If Deguang had shot much better from the line, the Monkeys would have won the game more comfortably.
