The Octane Infinity would never have expected a lopsided victory against Cascade Microtech at The Courts in Beaverton, OR, last Monday, September 29, 2008.
Tenacious defense and high percentage shooting provided the Octane Infinity a 34-17 lead at the half. But the halftime break did not cool off the Octane Infinity as they continued to dominate the game and even limiting Cascade Microtech to 10 points in the second half.
“I realized after that game that if there is a blow out for either side just feels like a Saturday Ballys day,” remarked Mike R. “We are loose and free, hence the turnovers but it is fun. The most satisfying wins are the close ones.”
Mike R. led the Octane Infinity in scoring with 22 points, shooting 9-of-20 from the field, grabbing six rebounds and snatching three steals. Chris Turman and David Camp both managed to achieve double-doubles for the night with Turman getting 16 points and 16 rebounds and Camp notching 12 points and 19 rebounds.
“One of the fun things about that game is that we played (and almost always play) very well together,” commented Turman. “We definitely struggle when we go up against a tall D-league team when they’re our second of a double-header, but we tend to challenge almost everyone we play.”
