Bell due to an injury in his previous game. Bell was in street
clothes on the bench cheering on his team.
The game got off to a quick start as
each team traded baskets in the first 3:00 of the contest.
Fundamentally Sound Athletics got the
ball into the hands of Siyani Tahir Chambers. Chambers was quick on
the offensive end. He was able to beat the defense down the court on
a consistent basis.
Rodney Williams came up with some nice
slam dunks that kept his team and the crowd into the game. On the
defensive end he was able to apply defensive pressure within the
paint and on the wings.
At the end of the first quarter the
score was Fundamentally Sound Athletics 25 and Miller Time 19.

didn't want to give up any easy baskets so the fouled hard in an

competitive.
