June 29th Game 2: Nets 146, Mavs 104

John Maddox — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 03:38:02 +0000

Normally, when your leading scorer scores 43, you’ve got to like your chances for winning. Normally, when 5 of your 7 players score in double figures, you feel pretty good about where you are. Normal did not apply in game 2 of the night as the Nets overcame all of that to trounce the Mavs 146-104. The reason was simple- AJ Pigram (Claffin State). Pigram poured in 66 points- including 21 three point baskets. Wesley Witherspoon (Memphis) added 18 points, and Rashad Weathers (LeMoyne Owen) had 17. For the Mavs, Lester Hudson led the way with 43 including 27 in the second half- on 9 three point baskets. Tavian Cummings had a strong outing with 18 points.

The Nets will face the Magic next Wednesday, while the Mavs will take on the Bulls on Tuesday.

June 29th Game 1: Celtics 115, Bulls 89

John Maddox — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 03:24:25 +0000

Having only 5 players in a normal basketball setting is tough. In a fast pace league like the Bluff City Classic, it makes for an almost impossible situation. That’s where the Bulls were as they fell to the Celtics 115-89. Tayloe Taylor (ETSU) had 23 points to lead a balanced Celtics attack. In his second game in the Bluff, Hauns Brereton (Hawaii/Bartlett HS) looked much more comfortable as he added 22 points. The Bulls were led by Memphis Tiger Chris Crawfords’ 28 points. A pair of Victory University standouts Horace Dixon and Keron Jackson had 21 and 20 points respectively.

The Celtics will return to action next Thursday night, while the Bulls are back on the court on Tuesday.

Tayloe Taylor (ETSU): 23

June 28th Game 2: Nets 97, Knicks 94

John Maddox — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 04:12:32 +0000

It was a close game throughout, when a turnover with under 4 seconds left spoiled a great effort to fight back by the Knicks to allow the Nets to escape with a 97-94 win. The Nets were led by Wesley Witherspoon (Memphis) who used a combination of drives and tremendous outside shooting to total 40 points on the night. Fellow Memphis Tiger DJ Stephens had several high-impact plays including a tremendous slam following a great save by AJ Pigram (Claffin State). Stephens totaled 10 points on the night. AJ Pigram added 22 for the Nets who hit several key shots down the stretch to hang on for the win. For the Knicks, Ferrokahn Hall had an outstanding game giving 21 points, and making several outstanding defensive plays. Mitchell Anderson (UAPB) added 19 points for the Knicks in the losing effort.

June 23rd Game 2: Lakers 113, Bulls 101

John Maddox — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 04:16:37 +0000

The greatest thing about the Bluff is that every night, someone different wows the crowd by doing something special. Will and Antonio Barton did just that by leading the Lakers to a 113-101 win over the Bulls. Will led the way with 29 points and Antonio added 12 as the Lakers maintained a double-digit lead throughout. Ian Clarke (Belmont) added 18 for the Lakers.

Charles Carmouche (Memphis) showed off his shooting stroke by draining five three point baskets en route to scoring 21 for the Bulls. Horace Dixon led a strong inside game for the Bulls by pouring in 18. AJ Thomas (Southern Nazarene) helped the Lakers cause by adding 26 points of his own including six three pointers.
