A huge 15-2 run in the second half propelled the Regulators to a memorable win last night. All the available Regulators were in top form and looked like they could beat anyone. It looks like this group is finally working each other out as they prepare for a finals push.
Matt Leonard showed any knockers what the team has missed with a dominating display inside against some large opponents. A combination of hook shots, pull up jumpers and drives kept the scoreboard ticking over, and on the other end he displayed some nice board work.
Paul Lochland showed he's shaken off the decade long rust of not playing comp ball with another confident all-around game. Roopa and Lochland combining to create a turnover was just one of many highlights for this young backcourt duo. The fact is - the game was well decided before that turnover - this is dizzy stuff folks.
But the game was far from a walkover, early on the Regulators were struggling with turnovers, bad shots and swiss cheese defence. Matt Owens was whistled for a tech after some yibbidy yibbada with the ref. They were lucky to escape the half five points down and there were no signs things would change in a hurry.
But that's exactly what happened, crisp passing, fierce defence, dead-eye shooting, fast breaks and some fair-dinkum hard yakka stunned the opposition and after Roopa finished the run with a sweet rainbow jumper - the Super Naturals had to call a timeout. This did little to stem the flow and the Regulators finished it off like a Peter North money shot.
THIS IS DIZZY STUFF FOLKS!
