Rational Animals: Week Five

Back to sub-par.....and the end of our playoff hopes.
Versus: The Longis Maghonis

Recap: It was ugly from before the beginning until the end of the game. We only had four guys show up--Jonathan thankfully came at the last second, played one play to prevent a forfeit and then we played 4 on 5 the rest of the game. It was brutal--they jumped out to a nine point lead that we never recovered from. The lead was only 11 at half, but by the end of the game they ran away with it (literally) and pushed the lead to 42-21, where it ended. Brutal.

Matt's' Line: Not good. Four points (again) and several missed shots that I should have made. Several rebounds, but not nearly enough. It was a forgettable game that pushed us out of playoff contention.
