Dutch League Finals, Game 2: May 20, 2008
|
Defending champion Den Bosch EiffelTowers evened up the Dutch League finals series at 1-1 with a convincing 91-71 win over MyGuide Amsterdam in Game 2 on Tuesday. The story of the game was defense, which is certainly not what EiffelTowers are best-known for. The hosts didn't allow many open shots, which resulted in Amsterdam going 1 for 15 from downtown. Den Bosch also picked up 15 steals. EiffelTowers jumped out to a 9-3 start, pumped it to 24-13 after 10 minutes and then a 31-19 third quarter made it 74-50 and put the game out of reach. Darrel Tucker led the EiffelTowers with 14 points, Dean Oliver added 13 points and 5 assists, Damone Brown and Robert Owens scored 11 each and Kees Akerboom Jr. 10. Tamien Trent paced Amsterdam with 15 points and Teddy Gipson and Peter van Paassen had 13 points apiece.
