Devon ford hit a game high 30 points, 26 in the 1st half, but it wasn't enough to prevent a loss in an overtime thriller to the Blue Stars during the Lebanese basketball championship semi-finals.Karl Sarkis hit 2 free throws to tie the game 73-73 with 5.6 seconds left.Then honeycut missed the jumper and the game went to overtime.Champville only managed to score 3 points in the extra-time which gave the lead 1-0 to the Blue Stars.Champville's total rebound in the 1st half was higher than the BlueStars' and gave the team extra-possessions. But then in the second half, the Blue Stars, who made a great comeback in rebounding, played tough defense on Devon Ford who only scored 4 total points.The series will continue in Dik El Mehdi Sunday at 4 p.m.Champville will look forward to take advantage of it's home court to tie the series 1-1.
Ghassan Sarkiss told us that he was somehow satisfied with the players' performance where they showed a good team play despite the pressure that was laying on them especially that the Blue Stars team is one the candidates to win the title this season.
