FIVE-MAN WRECKING CREW: SLOW MOTION BURY THE FLAMINGOS
DeuceDeuceYeti erupts for 41, but it’s the whole South Slow Motion roster — 30 assists, five hands that all mattered — that runs East off the floor, 86–72. And the ball has never moved cleaner: this was their sharpest night yet with Gdert on the bench.
DeuceDeuceYeti gave South Slow Motion its fireworks — 41 points on a scorching 16-of-23 from the floor, 8 of them from deep, with 4 steals for good measure and a 47 in the performance rating. But the story of the 86–72 win was that he didn’t have to carry it alone.
Every hand chipped in. JetFuelHarvey poured in an efficient 21 on 9-of-13 (three triples); Blvck Money was automatic for 15 on 7-of-8; TJ09 anchored everything that didn’t show in the scoring column — 8 boards, 7 assists and a game-sealing 4 blocks; and GoodKarmaa quarterbacked the whole thing, 16 assists against just 2 turnovers.
That last number is the point. South put up 30 assists on 36 made baskets and coughed the ball up only six times all night — the offense hummed, every possession found the open man. It was their cleanest game of the summer, and it came with Gdert — whose ball security had been the sticking point in the earlier slate — out of the rotation. Fewer detours, more buckets.
East had its own bright spot in defeat: MACC27004393, the very last pick of the Flamingos’ draft, played like anything but — a team-high 18 on 7-of-13 with four threes and three blocks, attacking downhill all night. BackPackxBUBBA added 17, but the Flamingos never matched South’s pace or its ball movement.
