Streak Ends With Overtime Humble Pie

Coming off the opening tip, it appeared to be another game for the taking. And the winner of the two minute overtime would go to the underdog this time around. The Tazers pushed the ball up court with precision and maintained their deadly man-to-man defense for 34 minutes. Their press caused team Rebels Red to turn the ball over on several key plays down the stretch. Early in the second half, the Tazers stretched the lead to 11 points and appeared to be in the driver's seat. But the Rebels lived up to their name. Tazer Nick Schindler hit a key three pointer with under two minutes in regulation only to have the Rebels return the favor at their end. The Rebels took a three point lead with under 30 seconds left. Tazer Brayden Monsen drove the floor, posted for a three point shot and drew the foul. He made every line shot and tied the game with less than five seconds on the clock. Overtime. This would be something the Tazers have faced only once in their young careers. The Rebels took an early two point lead. It stretched to five at one time, but the Tazers fought back. Eventually, fouls and outside shooting left the Tazers wondering when this one would end. It eventually did and history recorded this game as Rebels 52, Tazers 49.
