– Guardians exit after crunch time jitters

Ravens thrashed Eagles Sunday night to become the first team through to the semi-finals of the Phillip George Legacy Basketball Championships while the Plaisance-based Guardians choked in crunch time to exit the competition after their second loss.
Ravens took Eagles apart to win 69-45 in the first game of a double-header at the Burnham Court with Rodwell Fortune scoring 15 points and Stephon Henry adding 14 points; Ian Hiles also had a good game with 10 points for Ravens.
Quincy Easton scored 14 points and Kevin Higgins seven points for Eagles, who were trailing by 10 points (22-32) at halftime.
In the feature game, Nets fought back into contention in the last five minutes and eventually the Guardians failed to protect a crunch-time lead that cost them the game. Nets won 64-58 and their hope of a semi-final berth was kept alive.
Darrion Lewis scored 14 points while Hodayah Stewart added 11 points. Mortimer Williams and Drumson McCullay added 10 points apiece. Veteran point guard, Enoch Mathews was the only player in double figures for guards with 22 points.
Nets played superior basketball in crunch-time, using their height to an advantage with Williams, McCullay, Fabian Johnson and Darren Thomas. Nets battled from being down 50-51 to equalise at 55 apiece with less than three minutes left in the game.
Nets recaptured lead 57-56 with aggressive defence that intimidated Guardians. Nets defended their slim lead well and used clock to secure the win. The competition continues this weekend at the same venue.
