Temple Jam B/ball: Potters, Flame win

Temple Jam Basketball Tournament dunked off in Lagos yesterday with Niger Potters and Anambra Flames winning their opening games.

Potters defeated Delta 85-69 in a thriller that marked the start of the week-long competition at the Teslim Balogun Stadium in Surulere, Lagos.

The match was tight until the last quarter when the Potters gradually pulled away from their opponent.

The match between Anambra Flames and Comets looked like another match set to keep the spectators guessing. But that ended with the first quarter as the Anambra boys soon began to expand the lead.

The third quarter ended at 36-25 for the Flames when the Comets began to push for a comeback. By the fourth quarter the score was 34-41. Two quick turnovers ended the Comets fightback with barely three minutes left. They couldn’t score anymore as Anambra won the game 51-34.

The competition which is powered by the Temple Management Company in conjunction with the Lagos State Basketball Association runs at the venue until Sunday when the final match will be played.
