Following our surprising loss last week, we knew we were all psyched for some payback in our next game against Henkel. Trouble is, we almost didn't have our next game.
We only had 4 players by tip-off so we were given the mandatory 10-minute extension. We were about 2 minutes from forfeiting the game when Herbert got in. We were then set to field our first (and perhaps only) five.
With only 5 players available, we knew we were in for a tough match. No subs, no rest, no breaks. I can just imagine us losing steam late in the game. Little did we know that this 5-man IBM team will unleash 40 minutes of punishment. All hell broke loose soon after. There was just no stopping the onslaught.
We led 20-7 after the first quarter and we never let up. Using a fine display of fluid offense and relentless defense, along with impeccable teamwork, we cruised the rest of the way without stepping off the gas. We finally ended their misery with an 88-45 blowout win. Not bad for a very undermanned lineup.
We wound up with 7 players, with JP coming in late in the first while JR showed up at the end of the third.
Herbert lit up the stat sheet with 36 points and 16 rebounds. Jon had a monstrous outing too with 21 points and 18 boards. Come to think of it, they would've defeated Henkel comfortably by themselves.
Record: 3-1
Next game: vs Epson - June 20, Friday, at Club 650
