Isaih Moore scored the game-winning basket after the ball fortuitously came right to him underneath the basket, leading the Ottawa BlackJacks (1-3) to their first win of the 2024 CEBL season, 87-86 over the Montreal Alliance (1-4) Wednesday night at Verdun Auditorium.
Isaih Moore scored the game-winning basket after the ball fortuitously came right to him underneath the basket, leading the Ottawa BlackJacks to their first win of the 2024 CEBL season, 87-86 over the Montreal Alliance Wednesday night at Verdun Auditorium.
Moore looked to have strong chemistry with BlackJacks guard Brandon Sampson, who had 21 points and five assists in the win. The BlackJacks kept sticking with it, however, as Javon Masters managed to knife into the lane and score a layup and bring Ottawa within one again, 86-85. Then, on the ensuing defensive possession, strong Ottawa defence forced Montreal’s Chris Smith, who had a strong game with 19 points and 12 rebounds, to travel, one of the nine turnovers he committed.
The Alliance looked like the better team Wednesday as they dominated the paint, scoring 48 points inside, owned the glass, out-rebounding the BlackJacks 47-32, and picking up 17 second-chance points thanks largely to the 13 offensive rebounds Montreal managed to pull down.All of that good work was undone by the 20 turnovers committed by Montreal, none more costly than the Smith travel and the bad pass by Ifejeh at the end of Target Time Score.
