Zach, who followed close behind, put up his best of the season with 10 points on 55.56% accuracy. Notably, neither Zach or Darcy hit any 3s or free throw's; they did it all from 2-point range. Chet aided the Fakers as well, providing some backcourt support. He knoched 4 assists on 9 passes made, setting up Darcy and Zach for their big-time shooting spree's. However, Chet also pitched in 5 points, but at a costly 28.57% accuracy. Chet hoisted 2 3-pointers, and was unable to knock down either, but he did pick up 1 point from the free throw line (the only one of the game). Gaius also had an excellent showing off the bench. He pitched in 3 steals, and forced 3 more other turnovers. If there was any weak spot for the Fakers, it was Nolan going 0-for-3 from the field, and commiting 4 turnovers.
On the Bricks side of things, Carlton struggled from the field, going a mere 1-for-8 and commiting 6 turnovers. Cade, who went 0-for-4 from the field, also commited 2 turnovers. As a matter of fact, the whole team was in a shooting slump, with Jake going 0-for-1 and Garrett going 0-for-2. The only bright spot for the Bricks was Brandt. He shot 1-for-4 from the field and grabbed 3 rebounds, but he also committed 3 turnovers plus 2 bad passes.
This game could mark a momentum shift for the Fakers. Although they have a 1-2-0 record, they have the better +/- with 6.7 points because of this blowout win. Keep an eye out for our next game, which is coming to Ashland Fieldhouse on May 13th. Will the Bricks restore order or will the Fakers continue their momentum?
