Finally, a Home win!
The Sebastian Slam were in town without super-rookie John Wall and his sidekick Vinsanity. An early lead by Richmond quickly went the other way as the Slam opened up Q2 with a 13-0 run. Then with time winding down in the quarter, Dorell Wright managed to hit the 3 plus the +1 and it notted the game at 58. You would think that was the half time score, but no, that was the score after 3 quarters as 41 and 43% shooting (or good defense) was predominant in this one. Al Horford had another strong game for the Rogues with 20 points and 8 rebounds for the home team who finally pulled ahead late and held on for their first home victory over anyone other than division rival North Shore. Stuckey hit a bucket as time expired but it was essentially over by that point. Final score 77-75 Richmond.
