DIAMOND CUTTERS 38 Tranmere 27

Career-Night Scotty - Cutters Comeback

Having had their winning streak of nearly a year (possibly some 20 - 30 games) snapped last week, the Cutters were keener than............. someone who is very keen indeed to get the job done against the vintage Tranmeres.

Keenest of all was big Scotty DeBruyn, who played Tim Duncan, Steve Kerr and John Stockton all in one for the Cutters. Scotty dropped a Career 23 points on the old-skoolers Tranmere, including several big threes, numerous put-backs and generally unstoppable play. Scotty takes a well earned MVP for leading his Cutters out of what might have been a close game.

The rest of the Cutters were happy to fall into a supporting role for the big man, as evidenced by the stats. Ben had a hard-fought 13, the ball refusing to drop in the first half. Kep was the only other scorer with 2. Tim, Yoch and Dave put in some solid game, delivering solid O and D to wear down the Trans. When asked how he adjusted to playing second-fiddle to Scotty for the game, Ben replied: "Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got, I'm still Benny from the Block, used to have a little now I have a lot, but I know where I came from".

Plays of the game had to come from the stealthy Johan, who threw a gor-geois alley-oop pass to Scotty in traffic, and later in the game blocked the snot out of Tranmeres big man, "Only Hope". The lanky old-skooler went red as a beet with fury, but had no reply for this very public humiliation.

The Cutters were also blessed with a season-record crowd to cheer them on, possibly the key to the win. The Cutters thank you all for your support!!
