Chalk up another victory for Team Epoch Audio-Dunlop in the Metro Invitational Cup as we took care of an athletic but inexperienced Pog-G squad, 76-60, last night at the Metro Gym along Pioneer Avenue.
As always we started out in our typical diesel-powered engine as we gave up the early lead in the first quarter. A series of fastbreak plays by Pog-G had them up 20-13 in the opening period. They just kept running and getting easy lay-ups as we were not able to defend the outlet pass.
We managed to get our act together in the second quarter as we were able to close them down defensively. I took care of most of the offense as I was able to drive in for an onslaught of lay-ups and easy baskets. I was quite unstoppable in the second period shooting 6 of 8 from the field for 12 points. As I waxed hot, my teammates got their grooves as well and we led by 4 at the end of the half.
We finally got our diesel engine hot and running in the third period as we quickly built a double-digit lead. Multiple fastbreak plays off a series of steals from our fullcourt press led to a barrage of points. On the other end, Pog-G were missing a lot of the shots that were falling in the first half. Inexperience did it for them as they didn't know how to react to the pressure that we put.
We didn't let up for the rest of the game and we cruised to a 16-point victory. I had my best game of the season finishing with 13 points and 5 assists.
