MANCHESTER AREA BASKETBALL LEAGUE

Chorlton Jedi 66 High Peak Storm 48

Division 1, Monday 16th October

By Martin Pigott

High Peak struggled to score throughout the whole game-partly due to the Jedi defence but mainly through missing open shots and lay ups.

Jedi were far better at executing their offence, taking plenty of passes to move the Storm defence and playing patient basketball in order to find the open man.

With the gap between the teams widening-up to about 20-Storm put on a zone press late on in the third. Surprisingly, Jedi struggled (despite instuctions from their coach to "pass the ball") and Storm reduced the gap to 9, but it was a short lived revival and the gap went back up as Storm kept missing and Jedi kept on scoring.
