Despite having a true scare put into them by the City Reapers, FaZe persevered and extended their win streak to 10 with a 12 point victory on Friday night. With the win FaZe stays in contention for the one seed but they will need to beat the Cold Hearts on Monday night to seal the deal. With the City Reapers loss they now officially find themselves in a play-in game against the Diamond Doves tomorrow night for the eighth and final playoff spot. Austin Goosby put on a show for FaZe, scoring a team-high 24 points and further legitimizing his All-OTE candidacy
Marcus Spears Jr. kept chugging along with another big game in which he posted a line of 22 points and 11 boards marking his fourth double-double of the season. Kamden McGilveary had one of his strongest performances of the season, logging a nice line of 19 points on 63.6% shooting from the floor
The City Reapers gave FaZe all they could handle and that was thanks in large part to Howard Williams who led the Reapers in scoring with 22 points. Kole Grandison did a little bit of everything for the Reapers in this one, notching a nice all-around line of 13 points, 11 boards and three assists
RWE overcame a slow offensive night to defeat Jelly Fam 60-48 in what was the lowest scoring game in OTE history. Even with the win, RWE will come into the playoffs as the four seed where they will play Fear of God Athletics in the first round. Even with this loss, Jelly Fam is likely to finish as the six seed in the playoffs which would mean they draw the third seeded YNG Dreamerz in the first round. With Taylen Kinney out, Parker Robinson stepped up in a big way, scoring a game-high 23 points while also registering his first double-double of the season with 12 boards
Moustapha Diop didn’t have a massive scoring game, putting up just seven points, however, he was largely responsible for Jelly Fam’s season-low 48 points, as he registered a career-high six blocks. Mathias Alessanco had another rock-solid game, posting a line of 13 points and nine rebounds ✋
For Jelly Fam, Yandel German recorded four steals, breaking the single season record for most steals with 52, breaking the previous record set by Amari Evans and doing so in eight fewer games. TJ Wal led Jelly Fam in scoring with 15 points and complemented his scoring night with seven boards
Tune in tomorrow for the last night of regular season basketball in Atlanta as FaZe takes on the Blue Checks at 5 PM before the first ever play-in game in OTE history takes place at 7 PM between the Diamond Doves and City Reapers. All OTE games can be watched on OTE’s YouTube channel this season
