BABA Round 4 (Regular Season): Tridents are defeated by Celtics in a derby game

Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

The most interesting game was a derby match between two local teams from Bridgetown: Celtics (#2) and Tridents (#8). Tridents were smashed at home by 42 points 50-92 and even the fact of playing on their own court did not help. Celtics dominated down low during the game scoring 52 of its points in the paint compared to Tridents' 32. Celtics forced 27 Tridents turnovers. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 25 assists comparing to just 10 passes made by Tridents' players. Worth to mention a great performance of the former international guard Kiserian Adams (193-2000, college: Baton Rouge) who helped to win the game recording a triple-double by scoring 14 points, 14 rebounds, 10 assists and 4 steals and the former international guard Deroni Hurley (175-2001) who added 16 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists and 5 steals during the contest. At the losing side forward Ari Mottley-Squires responded with 15 points and 7 rebounds. Tridents' coach C. Edwards gave up on the game allowing to play eleven players seeing no chance for a win. Celtics have a solid four-game winning streak. They keep a position of league leader, which they share with Bulls. Tridents at the other side still closes the standings with three games lost. Celtics' supporters look forward to another derby game next round, where their team will travel locally in Bridgetown to the arena Heat.
Another interesting game was again a derby between two teams from Bridgetown: Cavaliers (#3) and Heat (#6). Cavaliers (2-1) smashed visiting Heat (1-3) by 67 points 114-47. The winners were led by swingman Deveron Knight (190-2000) who scored that evening 37 points (!!!) and 7 rebounds and Gavin Phillips supported him with 27 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 7 steals. Even 14 points and 9 rebounds by center Jonathan Fitt did not help to save the game for Heat. Heat's coach T.
