1sts
The Cranbrook 1sts were competitive for the first 16 minutes of the game and then Knox were able to put on a bust of defensive and offensive pressure that saw Cranbrook trail by 20 points at half time. The Cranbrook first could not hold Knox in the third and fourth quarter. Knox shot excessively well from the 3-point line and did not let up their defence against Cranbrook’s offence. The Cranbrook 1sts, again, played with an intensity that didn’t reflect the end score, losing 51-106. Cranbrook did many things right including minimising offensive turnovers, competing well on the defensive end and team rebounding. A highlight for Cranbrook was Cruz Mactavish’s clean one-handed dunk on a fastbreak early in the game.
