Pretty incredible that we won this game over Poland! Here's the box score:
(12746)I figured what the heck let's go with a Normal and see what happens. BOOM.
What an exciting finish. We were down 108-104 with 10 seconds to go when Panjiatan drained a 3 to make it 108-107. We fouled a Polish guy who shoots 12% from the line, and naturally he misses them both. Bin Hashim grabs the rebound, we push it down the court, and at the buzzer Panjaitan drains ANOTHER THREE. 110-108 final score!
Most valuable player for us was...hmm...how about the guy that scored SIXTY-TWO POINTS!! Panjaitan absolutely went nuts, going 24-41 from the field, including 9-17 from three, along with 5 assists and 4 steals. And he did that against a zone with $170k and $127k guards defending him. Amazing stuff!
They were ranked #33 in the world (we're #75), nearly their entire roster is over $100k salary (they even have a guy with a $472k salary!) and somehow we pulled it off! Now we're 2-3, and have a legitimate shot at going 4-4 which would be great! We'll take our beating against Italy next week but then have winnable games against Belarus and Barbados to end the tourney. Keep up the training!
