White Chocolate finally makes it over the border

and the game was well worth the wait...

In a game replayed due to Jason "White Chocolate" Williams being detained at the US border due to some marijuana issues
(no wonder he's in the D-League), the Savages were in town and it was a tight one at the Richmond Oval tonight. Tied at half 
time, the Rogues took a 2 point lead into the 4th quarter. All game, Durant had been taking (and missing threes) and that continued
in the 4th-he was 0 for 7 from downtown. A normally reliable Horford had an off-game for Richmond (shooting only 7 for 18) so the Rogues turned to the guy that
epitomizes that team name, one JJ Hickson. He was unstoppable tonight; claiming a double double with 10 boards and 26 points on 69 % 
shooting and picking up Al's slack. Richmond dominated down in the post and on the offensive glass throughout. This game came down
to free throw shooting in the end, however. Richmond was 16 for 25 (64%)and missed a few down the stretch. Flagstaff was 26 for 27 
until late (when they missed a couple as well) and ended up 28 for 32 (88%) and pulled out the 2 point road victory.
