Frenzy victorious in Corcoran's debut

February 10, 2007 - American Basketball Association (ABA)
Cape Cod Frenzy News Release


Montreal, Canada: The Cape Cod Frenzy came from behind to defeat the Montreal Royal, 107-101, in the debut of new Head Coach Gerry Corcoran.

The Royal came out of the gate scorching from the perimeter as Bobby Miller made four three pointers in the first quarter to help the home team build a 35-29 lead. But the Frenzy dug in with Corcoran barking orders from the sidelines, and regained the lead at the half, 54-51.

However, the lead evaporated in the third quarter as Montreal's press created turnovers that lead to 3D baskets and transition points. With 5:02 left in the third, the Royal had extended to a 75-62 lead, and ABA All Star forward Rob Sanders was whistled for a technical foul...his 5th foul of the game.

The Frenzy rallied in the fourth behind the hard inside work of Raheim Lamb who muscled his way for layups on the interior and collected Montreal fouls on the break. With four minutes left in the game, the Frenzy were within six points, at 94-88. Point guard Bilal Dawan-Abdullah drilled two back to back three pointers to tie the game at 94. Then Scott Hazelton slammed home a missed layup for a two point Frenzy lead. Montreal chased but Lamb finished three power layups and, on a fourth, grabbed two offensive boards before making the put back. Rob Sanders threw down two monster two handed slams in the final minute as the game was sealed with the final Frenzy 107 - Royal 101.

Raheim Lamb led all scorers with 35 points; Rob Sanders had 26, Jamaal Brooks 14, Scott Hazleton 11, and Bilal Dawan-Abdullah 10. Bobby Miller led with Royal with 28 points and Uche Okafor had 26. The Frenzy improves to 9-14 on the season. They now travel north to Quebec City to face the Kebekwa and former Frenzy teammate, Jermaine Watson, tomorrow night.
