Recap

Luxol failed to make the most of Athleta guard Francesco Mifsud Bonnici’s absence as the Maroons got their second league win on the trot in the day’s second game.

Matthew Gouder got the game underway with a three-pointer within the first minute. Malik Riddle hit back with a close-range shot but JP Schembri replied with a three-ball before Piotr Stelmach hit back with one of his own to give Athleta a five-point lead.

After the game’s first timeout, Nathan Xuereb scored the first points against his old team with a long-ranger before Tariq Woody hit one too to affect the first lead change of the game. The centre scored again after a long pass from Gael Hulsen to open a four-point lead for Luxol.

Minutes later, Riddle and Dajuan Moorer both scored to give Athleta the lead again with 1.54 remaining in the quarter.

Woody opened the second rubber with another three-pointer as both sides were just a point apart. This margin was only temporarily close as Luxol began to push and eventually made it a 10-point game, with a run only stopped by Riddle who hit from three.

Hulsen was having an excellent defensive performance and at the other end, the Belgian hit twice in a row to move his side up by double digits again.

Further threes from Xuereb and Nikola Jovanovic added to Athleta’s woes but both sides were in the bonus and Riddle hit from the charity line before Moorer and Luca Stefanovic made it a six-point game by halftime.

Athleta were tied with Luxol within three minutes of the second half through Riddle and Stelmach scores before Moorer gave his side the lead.

Midway through the third quarter, both teams were in the bonus, and bar a Hulsen triple and a Riddle drive, the game became a constant trip to the line. Nevertheless, the quarter came to a close with Athleta four points ahead after a Stefanovic three-pointer.

Luxol’s Stefan Cappello opened the fourth quarter scoring with his first points, but Riddle hit three times to extend Athleta’s lead to nine points as the American guard was on a hot streak throughout the entire contest.

Xuereb got his marching orders after his fifth foul with 38 seconds remaining and Riddle hit his 42nd point to confirm the win.
