CONGRATULATIONS TO TEAM PSALMS! We had a great final last Monday with Psalms holding on till the end for the 53-48 victory. The first half was a tight affair with neither team able to pull away. Both teams started off slow in the first half missing many shots and getting turnovers. After the first half the score was tied at 23. In the second half we saw that both teams picked up! The beginning of the half was all Psalms as they were able to build up a 10 point lead. It looked like they were going to run away with the game however after Exodus called a time-out, the team in Orange started to inch their way back, with the support of many fans, until they were only down 1 with less than a minute left! In the last 20 seconds we saw some very exciting basketball, Rafi Ashamalla was able to steal the ball off Peter Mikhail and then passed it over to John Gad to lead the break. John was able to find Mike Malak for the open 3 which would give Exodus the lead. Unfortunately it was not his night and he went on to miss the shot. Psalms were able to secure the victory after solid free throw shooting going 4 for 6 down the stretch compared to Exodus’ 0 for 3.

For Psalms, getting to the line was crucial throughout the game scoring 22 free throws compared to Exodus’ 3. Leading the team was guard duo Kero Naguib and Peter Mikhail who combined for 38 of the team’s 53 points. On the glass, Fady Salama lead his team with 12 while Shaheer added 9. Leading Exodus was Rafi Ashamalla who was all over the stat sheet. Rafi got a double-double with 13 points and 14 rebounds while adding 4 steals, 3 blocks and 3 assists.

There were around 50 people in attendance at the game and you could hear the crowd cheering all night! It was a great atmosphere for SMB and we hope it continues next season!
Thank you all for a great season and we look forward for what the summer will bring!

Stay tuned for pictures and video clips of the Finals!
