RAMS CRUISE PAST KINGS
by
Corey Brown
The
WestpacTrust Canterbury Rams consolidated their position
in the top four of the National Basketball League with a
comfortable win over the PoeNamo Basketball Kings 83-73
on Sunday afternoon.
Playing at home, the Rams started enthusiastically and
maintained the lead throughout the entire match. At the
end of the third quarter, the Rams had extended their
lead to 25 points, 70-45. The game was played at frantic
pace and included an incredible display of three point
shooting with 17 successful long range bombs tickling the
twine.
It was a complete team performance from the Rams, with
the points spread evenly amongst the ranks. Veteran Craig
Farrant proved he still has what it takes, posting 15
points, while exciting youngster Luke Ruscoe did not let
the old guard take all the spot-light, equalling
Farrant’s 15 point output. Ruscoe’s tally
included a pair of three-pointers and an almighty dunk in
the second half that had the crowd on its feet.
John ‘Pope’ Whorton did not miss out using his
lethal arsenal of low post moves, and converting a
majority of his offensive rebounds into points. Whorton
registered 12 points and pulled down a total of 16
rebounds, as he outplayed Kings’ star import Brian
Gomes.
Up against his former team-mates Canterbury’s Andrew
Gardiner reminded the Kings of his talent, scoring 10
points and grabbing 11 rebounds. Also to the fore was
Captain Courageous Dave Langrell, who notched up 14
points, including four outstanding three-pointers.
Langrell’s points were all in the third quarter as
he helped propel the Rams to an unassailable advantage.
For the Kings, Brian Gomes and Brendon Cathie-Pongia both
scored 18 points, but none of their team-mates made
double figures. Milos Pejovic and Gomes led the way for
the Kings in the rebound count, with eight apiece. It was
a case of ill discipline for the Kings, as late in the
game both Dylan Chase and Brad Riley were fouled off.
The win moves the Rams into outright third in the
National Basketball League with ten competition points.
Their next game is at the WestpacTrust Centre on Sunday 1
July, against the Palmerston North Jets, tipping off at
2pm.
