This one started out UGLY. Both teams got out to lackadaisical, sloppy starts. Turnovers were everywhere. No one could hit a shot. The (unofficial) score was 0-0 until the 2:45 mark of the first quarter, when Joe converted a short jumper for the Bulls.
But the Bulls found their stride, posting an easy 32-8 victory from the Spurs in Champaign County YMCA Hoops last Saturday.
Henry, a newcomer to the Bulls team this season, paced the winners with 10 points - all of which he scored in the paint; he also came up with a bunch of rebounds. George had a nice game with 8 points (he made one basket from half-court at the final buzzer!), Joe added 6 points, Nathan also played a great game and had 4 points, and Michael and Luke each added a basket for 2 points apiece.
While diving to the floor for a loose ball in the first quarter, Michael fell on his left knee and bruised it slightly. He was a little gimpy for the rest of the game, but he continued to play hard through his discomfort.
The Bulls improve to 2-0 in the league. I cannot remember when we last lost a Y-basketball game - I do know that it was sometime in the Fall 2006 league.
Next up: a game against the Celtics this Saturday at 9 AM at the Champaign County YMCA.
