MILLER TIME TOOK ON FUNDAMENTALLY SOUND ATHLETICS IN THE HOWARD PULLEY PRO CITY SUMMER LEAGUE

Miller Time battled Fundamentally Sound Athletics in a Howard Pulley Pro City Summer League basketball game.

Miller Time played without guard Troy 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.

Fundamentally Sound Athletics continued to drive to the lane as they looked to get easy lay-ups. Miller Time didn't want to give up any easy baskets so the fouled hard in an attempt to discourage their opponents.

Both teams picked up the pace of the game on the offensive end and put their shots up early and often.

Bobby Fong for Miller Time found his shot as he was able to nail some deep three-point line. Wally James Ellenson also for Miller Time was not afraid to also dial up the long distance three-point shot.

Neither team really went on a run in the contest. I thought that the game was very competitive and hard fought throughout. Both teams played hard and players made nice moves with and without that ball. That made this game a good game and competitive.
