Kings look to extend their winning streak against Bulls, Royals play Flames

The rollicking action in the Malta Supreme Christmas Magnificent Seven Christmas Basketball Championship will change gears this weekend and overflow into the new week as teams will battle today, tomorrow and next Monday in what should help indicate the settling down of teams wanting to advance into the final four from the lot of seven.
The Mackenzie Sports Club is the venue for this evening’s first double header, which will see matches slated for the next three days, as fans may take full advantage of being allowed in free compliments of sponsors Banks DIH.
Action tips off with Victory Valley Royals taking on Block 22 Flames at 7:30pm and the second game is between the unbeaten Kashif and Shanghai Kings who face the recent championship BOSAI Open Challenge winners, Half Mile Bulls.
This game will be the main attraction since fans will remember that Bulls beat Kings when the two sides met in the BOSAI championship and Kings with a perfect start will want to maintain that record straight through to the final if possible. Bulls are the new kids on the block and would like to get their act going from jump ball since they are a hungry lot.
However, their dependency on the shooting skills of captain Michael Turner and Keon Cameron and to a lesser extent centre Shane Lewis and shooting guard Sean Easton, could very well work against this experienced Kings lineup.
The Kings have shown they are back to their dominant best even without their big centre Jason Alonzo and once their players led by the wily Steve Neils (Jr.), Marvin Hartman, Orin Rose all in the back court and up front the likes of Abdulla Hamid and Omally Sampson, they can surely take early control of their opponents. But Bulls were the team to beat in the last tournament and this time around they must prove their worth as champions against a championship team in Kings.
The other match should be one where Flames are seeking to remain in the competition by winning after two losses. They face a Royals side which would want also to be among the contenders with a win following their one win and one loss record going into this match tonight.
Tomorrow the competition continues at the same MSC venue where at 7:00pm Retrieve Raiders oppose Wismar Pistons and at 9:00pm Kings and Amelia’s Ward Jets take their unbeaten record on the line.
Monday’s matches are those rescheduled from last Sunday and were affected by a power outage in the town with the first game continuing in the second half with Bulls leading Block 22 Flames 33-23 and the other will see Victory Valley Royals and Wismar Pistons in action.
