Hornets Venom and Wizards DG Split Games

Group 7 figured to be one of the most-hotly contested pools in the TIPOFF Tournament, powered by AT&T. Along with Cavs Legion and T-Wolves Gaming, Wizards District Gaming and Hornets Venom GT will need all they can muster to top the standings in this group. The two-game series between Charlotte and DC featured two teams that would be playoff-bound if the regular season ended today, and the events did not disappoint. Although it took one game for the Wizards to get going, they took the second game with a significant point differential, which should come in handy if the group has to rely on a tie-breaker scenario,.

The first half of Game 1 was all about defense, as both teams were successful in repressing the other’s offensive firepower. The half ended with a 22-21 total in favor of the Hornets, which is an unusually low halftime box score relative to average NBA2K League play. With nine total steals and 14 total turnovers in the first half, neither team was able to do much on offense. Shot-making was also an issue for both teams, especially from long range, as the Wizards’ Just_Awkward was the only player to drain a three in the first 12 minutes. Things heated up a bit in the second half, as ReeseDaGod began to find his stroke from beyond the arc for the Wizards. Although point guard Snubby was struggling from long range, his mid-range shooting kept the team in it and although the final total was among the lowest we’ve seen in the league, the Hornets prevailed 46-43 to take the first game. Snubby led the way for the Hornets with 29 points, and Trap excelled on the defensive end with five steals. It was an off-game for No. 1 pick JBM, who only posted six points for the Wizards, but ReeseDaGod picked up the slack with 12 points, all coming from 3-pointers.

JBM shook off the rust for Game 2, as he came out hot with the rest of the Wizards and started to pull away from the Hornets in the second quarter. DC held a 32-lead at halftime, but the Hornets stormed back to tie the game midway through the third quarter. The Wizards responded with another run, topped off by a long three from JBM to put them up by eight points. The game got carried away from there, as the Wizards took over and won by 20, by a score of 70-50. JBM was back to his normal self in this contest, draining six threes on the way to 28 points. Dayfri also filled up his box score under the basket with a 24-point, 11-rebound double-double. Snubby led the Hornets with 17 points, but he also committed six of the team’s 15 turnovers.

Wizards DG will move on to face Cavs Legion, and if they can take both games they have a good shot of winning the group. Hornets Venom squares off against T-Wolves Gaming twice later Wednesday.
