Page 8 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, March 15, 2019 ~ Malden Neighborhood Basketball League Update ~ Season 34, Week 10, “End of regular season”* 4th quarter showcased just 6 points total. But it was all by free throws as the Sonics went 4-4 from the line & Bullets went 2-2. That was it! Sunday, March-10 Game 1 – Bullets 56, Kings 54 Saturday, March 9 Game 1 – Celtics 62, Kings 60 It took 10 weeks to play their 1st game against each other & it was a good one. The game came down to the wire as expected & as we approach St. Patrick’s Day, Ari Cohen’s last-minute shot ended the game with luck for the MNBL Irish Emerald. The game’s high scorer was S. Cherenfant with 35 and the above-mentioned A. Cohen with 10. Kings did everything they needed to, except fi nish with the lead. Quarter breakdowns: up 4, tied, up 2, lose by 2. Great shooting from J. Song led the way with 19, & M. Cherif had a strong 17 in this long awaited faceoff battle. Game 2 – Sonics 41, Bullets 39 2nd Spoilers appeared at our & last game today – as the Sonics spoiled the chances “temporarily” for the boys in blue to lock up a playoff spot; the 5-man squad once again were led by D. Philippe (21) and J. Sorrano (16). Day 1’s shooters in this one were B. Chen (16) and J. Kelley (12). We also witnessed something the MNBL has never seen before – not the fact that the SKATING CENTER www.Roller-World.com | 781-231-1111 ATM on site Located adjacent to Honey Baked Ham in Saugus Plaza, South Bound Route 1 MBTA Bus Route 429 FREE WI-FI - 2 WIDE SCREEN TV’S FULLY AIR CONDITIONED Fall-Winter Skating Schedule ATTENTION!

NOT in the MNBL as the Bullets bounced back literally in an impressive way to fi nish with a solid 22-13 edge in the 4th the 4th quarter & locked up slot in the madness with this Win. A. Jonassaint led the way with 20, and J. Mei helped with 12; the Kings had no excuses for being undermanned, as were the Bullets in a 6 vs 5 matchup. They just didn’t show up to avenge yesterday’s tough loss. Who did show up were S. Tiken with 19, D. Bono with 15 and M. Cherif with 10. Game 2 – Sixers 44, Hawks 36 They say you should practice free throws as much as possible & that held true in this one as the Sixers win by 8. The more impressive or unimpressive stat, you can say, was the Hawks F.T. shooting results by game’s end. Sixers got a very nice game from possible “Rookie of the Year” candidate M. Lopes with 17 & the league’s leading scorer as well as possible “MVP” candidate R. St. Jean with a surprising 11. Back to the Red ’n’ Yellow, who went 4-17 from the line & actually outscored the Sixers (10-7) in the fi nal frame. Fell victim once again, as only J. Ling was the only one to hit double digits with 11. Game 3 – Lakers 47, Sonics 17 BASKETBALL | SEE PAGE 10
