North Shore vs Rogues

The Cross-town rivals from "the North Shore" were in town at the Richmond Oval tonight with the home team looking for it's first win at their barn. The fans were treated to a dominant performance by starting C Al Horford as he shot 80% on his way to 28 points. The Nighthawks were relentless on the offensive glass all night and this never-say-die attitude closed a large Richmond lead to within 4 points midway through the third. Young backup Omer Asik was a revelation with 10 rebounds (7 offensive!) in just 22 mins. Altogether the Nighthawks had 22 offensive rebounds and got a lot of second/third chances. The Rogues crowd was just too much in the 4th however, helping its team buoy their lead back up and finish up comfortably with a 107-91 win.
