3 and O-ffense
Reading, MA –
The game was much more competitive than the score would indicate, but in the end Origins Unknown ran their record to 3-0, with an 88-72 win over a dangerous Chili’s team.
Coming off of his recent marathon in Portland ME, Cap’n Mike showed no ill-effects of an injured right foot and, quite frankly, torched the Chili’s for a whole-buncha-points by knocking down a boat load of three pointers and foul shots. The outside barrage opened up other scoring avenues for OU, and James “Stretch” Hogan IV and Danger Dan Fisher took full advantage by executing their mid-range assault throughout the contest.
OU did have its issues guarding the Chili’s big man, who went 6’5”ish and 290ish. He was able to post down low and get to the hole for several early buckets, but Dr. Greg Robinson and Shu-ter Patel did a formidable job keeping him in check. And, as the game wore on, OU didn’t give Chili’s a chance to catch their breath on defense, which in turn, affected their offensive execution. OU also stayed out of foul trouble, even when banging with big boy, which helped keep the floor and rotation balanced.
The game was highlighted by a late fast break, where Cap’n Mike went behind-the-back to a cutting Stretch Hogan, who finished with a dunk like this one.
720 dunk
Chili’s will be a pesky opponent for the other league teams, as they have a solid core of players featuring 1-2 big guys, one lightning fast guard (who can’t go right, but goes left like Nick Van Exel), and 2-3 mid-range guys.
Late to the contest, new OU’r Chris Johnson (we’ll get you a nickname soon) showed up with the game already in hand, and only 2 minutes left on the clock. He did make his inaugural pilgrimage to Chili’s (the restaurant, not the team) for a post-game celebratory beer, however, and is very excited about playing with the OU crew. In his debut last week, Johnson (how about “Big” Johnson – ha) led all OU scorers with 20 points in a ROUT of new league team, 6th Man. In that game, OU dominated all facets, and won by the monster margin of 92-43.
OU has a bye next week, before squaring off against Howse Corp the following week.
