In the ladies league, Scorpions came back from a double-digit third quarter deficit to win their game against nutcrackers by a single point. At the same time, Momentum diablos, despite not having all of their players, easily blew out Varsity college.The two games involving Monash University (Men's D2 vs Ball Addicts and Ladies vs Raptors) were both blowouts, with the mean winning quite comfortably and the ladies falling to a well oiled Raptors machine. Boston Media house got the better of Varsity college who were playing their second game of the day and in the Game of the day, in the men's D1, scorpions defeated Puto's Phly in a close and hotly contested game. It must be noted that both teams, especially puto's phly, were without some of their best players. Rebels got the better of Raptors in the late game, winning by a comfortable margin. Rendez-vous on August 31st for the next game day and some more exciting basketball.

My pick for play of the day, D-nice's dunk off an alley hoop pass from quintin. In other LOP games i watched that day, Nutcrackers survived a late surge by wits rebels (ladies) to win by a point, 52-51, Monash completely outplayed Varsity College (Men D2.) MGI Alumni Held off Boston media house and their very flashy point guard (too bad he turns the ball a bit too much) Pretoria heat (who has been scoring well in the 90's and 100's in recent games) struggled a lot against Scorpions, only pulling away in the 4th to win I think 59-48 if memory serves me well. In the late game, Wits rebels came back from a double-digit deficit to beat Puto's phly by 2 points (66-64) in a hotly contested game. With only a few game days left before the playoffs, it's going to be interesting to see how things go in all three divisions with some interesting games ahead.
