THE Bombay Bombers blew a huge lead before notching their first win,
beating the Blue Sharks, 65-58, in the 2008 FIBL Goodwill Cup at the
Arena in San Juan.
Ravi Gurnamal led the balanced attack of the
Bombers with 15 points. He also grabbed five rebounds and issued
five assists. Kishore Mirpuri was a monster inside, netting 11
points, clearing 14 boards and blocking five shots.
But the key to victory was their defense on
reigning MVP Manoj Chandumal. The Bombers held him scoreless until
3:50 in the third period.
Chandumal rallied in the fourth period when
Chandumal finally got his bearing. He eventually finished with 13
points, but the Blue Sharks fell short.
In the other game, rookies Vladimir Singh and
Ajeet Sing led the Kings past the Knights, 88-72.
The Kings tore the game apart in the third
period, outscoring the Knights, 20-12 to take a 62-46 lead.
