Rapids escape Boston with victory

February 28, 2006 - American Basketball Association (ABA)
Cape Cod Frenzy News Release


Sandwich, MA Saturday February 25, 2006: The Buffalo Rapids basketball team emerged victorious on the road against the Boston Frenzy 117-104. The Rapids, led by guard Antoine Sims hot shooting in the first half (4 three pointers), looked to pull away from the Frenzy early, going up by 24 points. They led Boston 64-46 at the half.

In a game where the Frenzy's All Star forward, Alexus Foyle, was in Barbados playing for the St. Vincent's national team, in a game where the Frenzy had to dress their head coach, Eggie McCrae, just to make 8 players, in a game where the Frenzy had just one player over 6'5 to go against Buffalo's seven trees - the Frenzy were supposed to roll over and die. It didn't happen.

The Boston unit behind hot three point shooting and pesky defense, climbed back into the game bit by bit. Veteran guard Matt Alosa drilled 3 three pointers in the 4th quarter including one with a foul called. Sly McInosh hit a three pointer off the glass. And with two minutes left in the game, Buffalo's lead was down to 2 (106-104) on a layup by center Ify Anosike, and it was anyone's game!

But it was not to be. Buffalo made key plays down the stretch enabling them to leave with a win. The Boston Frenzy players left with a moral victory.

The Buffalo All Star guard, Tim Winn led the Rapids with 20 points, center Johnny Tyson had 18 points, and Willie Chandler had 17. Boston's leading scorers were guards Sly McIntosh with 26, Matt Alosa with 23, and Korran Rivers with 18.

The Boston Frenzy prepare for their final three games of the regular season on the road. They play the Newark Express in Newark, NJ on 3/3 and 3/4 at 7 p.m., and face the red hot Rochester Razorsharks in Rochester on 3/5 at 2 p.m. For more information contact the Frenzy GM, Ian McCarthy at ian@bostonfrenzy.com.
