Ugly Game Results in Victory

The Human Highlight Reels followed up a loss in their final preseason game with a win, albeit an ugly one, against Uncle Drew. Stating that the game was an ugly one may be putting it lightly. The Hunter brothers, who are combining to score just over 30 points a game, shot 1 of 17 from three point range (6%) and could only manage 5 of 14 baskets from everywhere else on the floor (36%). Jason Hunter also missed his two free throw attempts. The brothers totaled only 13 points in the teams mere 40 point output. Other sour notes include the missed layups. There were many baskets within five feet that just did not seem to roll the right direction most of the night. Big man Alex Yablonsky, playing in his first game of the winter season, was shaking off the rust all evening. He was only 1 of 7 from the floor, 2 of 8 from the line, but did grab 11 rebounds, a few coming from his own back to back misses. Chuck Caldwell did hit two three points, which doubled the teams total. He added six more points and two rebounds. Also, veteran big man Kerry Hunter scored four points and picked up two rebounds in limited minutes. The bright spot came from energy-guy Andy Kempf. Kempf has not lost a step from the preseason as he scored 10 points on 5 of 8 shooting from the floor and also had a team high 15 rebounds. Kempf is averaging 16 rebounds on the year, which is his best mark of his career in the organization. Kempf is playing on a contract year and is truly looking worth the money he will likely receive this off season. The teams schedule was not posted as of this writing.
