Local League - Team Durham Panthers

Hartlepool Heat Report

The game started off with the Heat really coming to play hard. They arrived with a large squad allowing them to rotate players and took an early lead in the first quarter finishing up with a double digit lead (18-7).

In the second quarter Durham came out looking a lot stronger and more cohesive as a team, with good secondary penetration and hustle on the boards allowing them to win the quarter by 3, leaving them down overall by 8.

The third quarter was probably the most balanced of the three, a strong scoring performance by MVP J.Davison really kept Hartlepool in the game with them winning the quarter by two points giving them a ten point lead in the fourth.

By the fourth Durhams 5 remaining players (injury and foul-outs) were looking tired and at this point the tide really turned with Heats large bench really making the difference in getting up and down the court. The final score being 62-49 in favour of Hartlepool.
