Bad beat of the night tonight was Santa Booker losing to Glasgow Raptors despite getting a double-bonus in GDP for guessing the Raptors tactics. It was a bad-tempered game with 2 in-game injuries plus an extra longer-term injury to Raptors starting PG Arnold Bryde in the 1st minute of the game. After starting the 4th quarter tieing 96-96 Santa Booker either due to lower experience or fitness or just being the away team in the game found the momentum moved against them, and they started fouling to regain possession after falling behind. The Raptor players they chose to foul went 32-37 from the free throw line and despite 7 better team rating and 0.8 better average player rating for Santa Booker, the Raptors ended up 132-120 winners.

No shock results tonight but 3 games that may end up as key matchups.

In the Great 8 Santa Booker had a hit and a miss in the game day preperation but with 13 more team rating and 1.2 more average player rating were too strong at home for Raging Seagull despite Tony Bonavia's 21 pts in 15 mins cameo at SG for the 'gulls. After a super-high paced 1st quarter that ended 45-37 the home team won by 144-121.

In the Big 8 Andorran derby, Dropito edged out Revolta Culé, B.C. by being slightly more efficient shooters and also being the home team in a very equal looking match-up statswise, but Revolta losing the 2nd quarter 31-12 to go in at the half 16 down was the real killer.

Top billing was Skytturnar putting extra effort into the game against Glasgow Blue Jays, being at home, putting out what looked like their maximum strength team with a team rating of 150, and getting rewarded by the Blue Jays winning by 87-62 with a 1st quarter that ended with them already 18 down. Only Vasily Krasnoslobodtsev for the Icelanders got into double figure efficiency where 6 players did for the Blue Jays. Glasgow Blue Jays are currently #1 in opponent FG% & opponent 3pt% so far this season, and #2 in opponent assists & #2 in opponent efficiency. With their only defeat being away and in double-overtime the Blue Jays are likely the betting favourites for a promotion to the ESL as things stand.
