Jaguars devour Tigers in battle of big cats

March 12, 2011

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.
