Pic Pedrosa would likely have absolutely taken a deal for Chicago Bulbs II to be kept to under 100 points before the game, not realising they in turn would only score a historically low 16! The only starter with a positive efficiency score was the centre Bernat Tintinyà thanks to 16 rebounds but he scored 0 points and Chicago's centres combined to 20 points from 9-12 shooting, 26 rebounds and 6 blocks. As a team, Pic Pedrosa had 5.6% shooting & 0% from the 3 point line. Top scorers for Pic Pedrosa? Bousi and Grau with 4 points each. There were likely record lows for the division in multiple categories unless anyone knows better!

Elsewhere, Santa Booker's red-hot start came to a crashing halt as a seemingly full 1st choice Glasgow Blue Jays team out to teach the new boys a lesson beat them 124-80. Santa Booker were caught out with a double-miss in preperation, outclassed 148-121 in game rating, 171-79 in efficiency, and were 2.9 per player down in average player rating.

As for us, for the 2nd league game running, a player was injured in the 1st 2 minutes, Dougal MacSymon getting his turn with the icepack after Buchan and MacMurchie had there own turns against Chicago Bulbs II. His replacement Andrew Kerr made Comandaranga pay for it though with 24pts, 11 assists, 6 steals, 4 rebounds, and 4 blocks coming dangerously close to a rare 5x5 night!

Welcome to the big leagues Santa Booker.

Per the below table Chicago Bulbs II and Glasgow Raptors were similar in game rating and average player rating, but either the Raptors had a bad shooting night for the ages or Chicago Bulbs II put on a 2nd consecutive defensive masterclass as Chicago won out 83-50 thanks to the Raptors' 18.9% shooting night and 7.1% shooting from 3pt range.

Celestia BC set up with the rare 1-3-1 zone defence knowing Bibby Brotherhood would play Run & Gun tactics and ended up with a rare wondrous rating for perimeter defence making Bibby's 81 points a relatively strong effort against it.

Santa Booker had their welcome continue as they were double-correct at GDP and played with more effort so reached an equal 125-125 game rating with Dropito along with 1.2 extra average player rating, but were beaten by 16 pts, seeming to have no answer for Dropito's PF Štrbac and his MVP of the night performance 22/19/10 triple double.

Glasgow Blue Jays also seemed keen to extend their "big-leagues" welcome to a recently strengthening Locomotive Edinburgh with a team strong enough to put up the highest game rating of the night for the division, and while after dominating the 2nd and 3rd quarters a Blue Jays win was never really in doubt they saw enough of a challenge put up that the final score was a competative 100-91.
