22 JULY: RAMS @ KINGS


KINGS OVERCOME TIRED RAMS

by Corey Brown and Piet Van Hasselt

The WestpacTrust Canterbury Rams have relinquished their position in the National Basketball League top four after losing both of their away games on the weekend. On Saturday night the Rams were comprehensively outclassed by Blockbuster Auckland 99-79, while on the following afternoon at North Harbour, they were defeated 91-81 by the PoeNamo Kings.

The two weekend losses leave Canterbury in fifth place, tied with the Property Broker Jets. The Rams must win their three remaining matches and rely on other results, if it is to have any chance of a NBL playoff berth in August.

Despite Whorton once again turning in a near forty-minute effort sterling performance Canterbury could not come out victors against the Kings. Five Canterbury players made double figures, including a Whorton double-double of 17 points and 16 rebounds. Next best for the Rams was exciting forward Salasopo Tulua, who converted his 20 minutes of game time into 14 points. Craig Farrant and Jon Disher managed 11 apiece, while point guard Carlo Varricchio posted 10 points.

The Kings scoring came in the form of guard Brendon Cathie-Pongia who slotted 5 three-pointers in his game high tally of 27 points. Brad Riley was also to the fore with 20 points, while Brian Gomes amassed 17 points and 12 rebounds and youngster Milos Pejovic notched up 10 points and pulled down 10 rebounds.
