Regular Season Round 8: Rams - Mountainairs 92-68

Date: June 20, 2021
Not a big story in a game when 10th ranked Mountain Airs (1-11) were outscored by sixth ranked Rams (6-6) in Christchurch 92-68. Rams dominated down low during the game scoring 70 of its points in the paint compared to Mountain Airs' 40. They outrebounded Mountain Airs 45-27 including a 33-21 advantage in defensive rebounds. Rams players were unselfish on offense dishing 27 assists comparing to just 14 passes made by Mountain Airs' players. The best player for the winners was American forward EJ Singler (198-90, college: Oregon) who had a double-double by scoring 24 points, 13 rebounds and 4 assists. The other American import guard Deshon Taylor (188-96, college: Fresno St.) chipped in 21 points, 5 assists and 4 steals. Five Rams players scored in double figures. Rams' coach Mick Downer felt very confident that he used entire bench and allowed the starting five to get some rest. Naturalized American forward Marcel Jones (203-85, college: Oregon St.) produced a double-double by scoring 16 points and 10 rebounds and the former international power forward Tai Wynyard (208-98, college: Kentucky) added 16 points respectively for the guests. Rams moved-up to fifth place, which they share with Huskies. Mountain Airs lost eighth consecutive game. They stay at the bottom position with 11 games lost. Rams' next round opponent will be Jets (#9) in Palmerston North. Mountain Airs will play at home against Jets and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
