Promoted Railway Tigers are still waiting for their first  win of the Flow National Basketball League (NBL)-West season after they  were beaten 49-58 by Granville Jaguars on Saturday at the Montego Bay  Sports Complex.
The game started almost two hours late due to heavy afternoon showers  that also affected the surface, leaving it slippery and at times  dangerous for the fast-moving players.
A second game between defending champions Hoopers and Inner-city  Avalanche was called off due to the lateness and the court condition and  will be rescheduled.
Tigers, who were beaten by Avalanche a week earlier, came back strong  in the second half where they outscored Granville, but were in a hole  early after going behind by a 20-plus points deficit in the first  quarter.
Granville, who were led by Dave Black's 12 points, lead 23-3 late in  the first quarter and 23-5 at the end also led 33-19 at half-time and  45-27 at the end of the third quarter.
Ivaughn Lee, who hit three consecutive three-point shots for Granville  in the first quarter, was the other Granville scorer in double figures  as he finished with 11 points. Wayne Morris scored nine points.
Detroy Jewery was the high scorer for Tigers with 14 points, Tammy  Davis scored 12, while Omar Biggs came off the bench to score 10.
