Saints cruise past Bwibwiis, 56-43
The Chalan Kanoa Saints got a breakthrough game from Lambert Reyes and scored another victory in the ongoing 2005 Saipan Rotary Club Youth Basketball League Tuesday evening.
Reyes was on fire in the opening half and put up a decent performance in the second to lead the Saints to a 56-43 victory over the Bwibwiis.
The first half belonged to the Reyeses as Lambert picked things up by scoring 14 straight points and leading scorer Luis immediately followed suit by swooshing the net for 11 straight points before capping the Saints’ push with a free throw.
Fueling the Bwibwiis’ push was Fred Litulimar, who scored the team’s first basket, then added 10 consecutive points to help his team stay within striking distance.
At the break, the Saints were up by seven points, 32-25.
The second half featured a much more balanced attack from both teams. The Reyeses were still performing well and combined for 10 points, while Litulimar and Darrel Moteisou combined for 12 points for the Bwibwiis, who were not able to close the gap.
The Saints outscored their opponents, 24-18, to close with the 13-point victory margin.
Luis and Lambert Reyes both finished with 18 points to lead the Saints, while Litulimar and Moteisou led the Bwibwiis with 18 and 12 points.
