Congrats to Raging Seagull who played all 5 players 48 minutes against Apex Legends and got best efficiency for the whole division in every single position for combined +239 efficiency.
Dropito and their new bargain Brazilian centre Ermenegildo Rodolfo and a seemingly full-strength Chicago Bulbs II team met in prime end of season form with both having the clear highest game ratings in the division tonight and playing the same Look Inside tactics. Chicago having sensational perimeter defence (against Dropito's strong PDef) seemed to make the difference with Chicago's shooting being better from all ranges and the home advantage probably helping too in a 95-83 victory.
Similarly fellow perimeter defence appreciators Glasgow Blue Jays beat Revolta Culé for similar reasons and didnt need home advantage to put the Andorrans 4 games out of the playoffs easing to a 111-77 victory behind a 46% from 3 point team shooting night.
In the Great 8 conference, Glasgow Raptors going 33-36 from the charity stripe and typically dominant rebounding nights from Shawn Gray and Marc Hutchinson who almost matched Santa Booker's team rebounding total themselves made what could have been a closer night a reletively safe 14 point victory.
Locomotive Edinburgh gave an example of the power of garbage time being 79-19 up after 3 quarters then watching the bench allow 35 points in the final quarter! Back-up power forward David MacMurchie did go 14-7-4 for +19 efficiency in 15 minutes though on the positive side.
