The Nets rebounded well from their defeat at the hands of the Guyana Defence Force on Wednesday night to blowout the Macabees 71-34 in the Pepsi Street Series Open and Division Three leagues at the Burnham Basketball Court, Thursday night.

The Nets completely dominated  Macabees following the first quarter which ended with both teams on 10 points apiece.  By the close of the second quarter it was all smooth sailing for the Nets as they mustered a 33-19 advantage at halftime.

Unlike their opponents, who were dropping shots and successfully counterattacking on the fast break, the Macabees’ offence was struggling to convert their shot attempts and was plagued with misdirected passes and dismal ball control.

The Nets continued their attack with the same ferocity as the second period and the Macabees’ defence failed to suppress the Nets and they found themselves being drilled with three consecutive shots from downtown by Nets’ Llewellyn Doris.

The Nets ended the third quarter racing ahead 50-27.

The final period saw the Nets adding 21 points to their total at the end of the third quarter, while the Macabees managed their lowest quarterly total of the game, which was a meager seven points.

Nets’ Darrian Lewis was fed the rock on numerous occasions from passes intercepted and rebounds snatched by his teammates to finish many of his team’s breakaway lay-ups and dish out a game high 15 points.

In total, Doris sunk four from beyond the arc and added one mid-range to total 14 points, while his teammate Ryan Wilson pitched in with 10 points.

All of the Macabees players were restricted to single digit scores as Darrel Levans led their score sheet with seven points. The next best scores were attained by Yannick Dundas and Darren Samuels, who posted six points each.

The Pepsi Street Series continues tonight at the Burnham Court from 18:00 hours with open match-ups between Colours Panthers and Bounty Colts and this will be followed by a feature clash between Ravens and Macabees.
