There were two surprises that Octane Infinity encountered at The Hoop in Beaverton, OR, last Monday, July 7, 2008. The first was that the gym was a total sauna. Super hot, no air conditioning. The second surprise was that they were playing a D League team. Perhaps it was Portland Baskteball’s way of curtailing the Octane Infinity’s two-game win streak.
Despite the Hoop Indis’ gigantic center, the Octane Infinity were able to keep up early on. But the Hoop Indis pulled away late in the first half and the Octane Infinity were not able to recover.
“A few missed layups and some threes that just didn’t fall and we would’ve had a much closer score,” recalled Edwin Tanedo.
Mike R. led the team with 18 points, six rebounds, and two steals. Chris Turman contributed his usual double-double performance with 12 points and 19 rebounds, while Edwin Tanedo added 16 points.
The Octane Infinity were without forwards Scott Nelson and John Le, and center David Camp.
