Erie Adds Win Streak To 2009/10 Vocabulary
January 7, 2010 - NBA G League (G League)
Erie BayHawks News Release
BOISE, ID - The numbers told the story.
Nine steals for Erie, one for Los Angeles. Seven blocks for the BayHawks, two for the D-Fenders. Toss in 44 percent shooting for L.A., and the result was a very business-like 102-89 BayHawks victory. The win marked the first time this season the BayHawks notched back to back wins.
New BayHawk, Mike Gansey had one of the better all-around games of the Showcase, finishing with 25 points, 15 rebounds, four assists and three steals.
Largely viewed as a sure-fire second-round pick in 2006 (some felt he could sneak into the late first), Gansey skipped the NBA Pre-Draft Camp in Orlando, and subsequently went undrafted. He was quickly signed by the Miami Heat following the draft, but came down with a staph infection over the summer that derailed any chance he had of making the team.
"I'm just trying to do what I can, try to make plays, make shots, hustle and show scouts that I'm still a good player," said Gansey, who played his first two games with the BayHawks this week after being traded by the Idaho Stampede last week. "Today was exciting. L.A.'s a very good team. We've got a two-game winning streak now and hopefully we can keep it going."
Cedric Jackson had another strong game for Erie (6-11) with 16 points and 11 assists, while John Bryant added 18 points and 14 rebounds. Ryan Forehan-Kelly led the D-Fenders (7-7) with 28 points. Diamon Simpson added 17 points and 12 rebounds.
The BayHawks next home game is set for Saturday, January 9, 7 PM tipoff vs. the Fort Wayne Mad Ants. The game will feature a High School Hoops Showcase, with Mercyhurst and McDowell girls at 3:30 PM and the Mercyhurst and Fairview boys set for 5:00 PM. One ticket is good for admission to all three games.
Tickets are on sale for all BayHawks games, to learn more about special ticket packages contact the BayHawks ticket office at 790-5600 or visit ErieBayHawks.com.
