EIS Lovers Season VIII Semi Finals

Matchday Report

Finally after a gruelling 6 match regular season, our season 8 tournament runs to the play-offs. Since the league history, there was only once that the regular season champions fail to land the season championship. While there was twice where the 3rd place made it to the finals.

Here are the match results:

Match 1 : Clutchers (33) 48 : 37 (13) Champs
Clutchers: Wolfgang 19 pts., Wu 14 pts.
Champs: Robin 19 pts., Joke 12 pts.

If the Champs are to be champions, this game was probably their biggest in history. It all went wrong as all their centers fail to hit courtside as Wolfgang dominated the boards leading Clutchers to a 20 point first half lead.

As Clutchers fielding a smaller roster in the second half, Champs were jubilant as a tight defense behind Pete & Pong and better offensive plays by Robin and Joke slimmed the lead to 4. However as usual, 1st draft pick Karun stepped up big with a crucial 3 pointer to extend the lead to 7 with Wu's brace condemning the Champs to their 3rd loss to Clutchers.


Match 2 : Bulldozers (38) 76 : 54 (24) Gigantos
Bulldozers: Dennis 25 pts., Dev 24 pts.
Gigantos: Vikram 33 pts., Eddie 8 pts.

As similar as the Bulldozers swept the Gigantos in regular season, the playoffs was still the same story. Dennis & Dev went aggressive as both combined for 49 pts. to brush Gigantos players aside.

Apart from Vikram who caught fire with numerous basket including many crucial back-to-back 3 pointers, his teammates weren't able to find their rhythm and succumb to their 3rd straight loss to Bulldozers.
