Gregori Gorraez wanted to duplicate his 52 point performance from the second meeting against No Limit BPE.
He fell short by 3 points.
Gorraez went off for 49 pointson 20 of 37 shooting, 6 of 8 from the three point line, and 3 of 4 from the charity stripe, yet he was not a happy camper after the game. "I had more turnovers than rebounds. My defensive assignment went 13 of 22 shooting. I had to score because I couldn't do anything else right," he said when asked about his night.
Gorraez, the primary scorer on this night, had help in other areas as Ladislav Furka contributed 18 rebounds, Nicolae Vacarescu contributed 9 assists (despite getting torched by the still unsolved Daniel Rognoni), and newcomer Oskars Anerauds contributed 14 points and 9 rebounds, while Raul Estela scored 16 points in a mere 9 minutes.
No Limit led by 4 at the half, 63-59.
"You have to give credit to No Limit," Linndale coach Pio Reina said. "They put up a heck of a fight. We did most of the things we wanted to do out there, and when that happens, we're tough to beat. Also, Gregori was almost unstoppable tonight." When asked to name something they didn't accomplish, Reina replied "Rognoni. That guy allways has good games against us. Now we have to deal with Andersonville, and that will not be an easy task either. Fortunately, we have time to cook something up."
