Jermaine Slater finished a lay-up just before the expiration of regular time to give Ravens an 87-85
win over Colts Wednesday night when Georgetown Amateur Basketball Association (GABA) League continued at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall.
With 15 seconds left on the game clock and the scores tied at 85, Slater, after excellent clock management, sealed the win from the paint. Forward, Tyrone Hamid top scored with 23 points while guard, Ryan Stephney had 22 points for Ravens. Forward Ryan Gullen and Slater had 13 and 10 points respectively.
For Colts, guard, Shelroy Thomas recorded a game-high 25 points while guard, Dave Causway supported with 21 points. Centre, Shane Webster and Kurt English had 14 points each for Colts as well.
Causway had turned over the ball to create the dramatic conclusion with 15 seconds left in the game. Colts had erased a seven point deficit at the start of the fourth quarter to get back into the game. With 4:20 remaining, the game was levelled at 78-78.
However, Slater restored Ravens lead, scoring seven points in the period to take 85-81 advantage with less than a minute remaining. But Colts again squared the game 85-85 with Webster adding four points to advance the cause of Colts.
Colts acquired possession with 28 seconds remaining in regulation time and the score unchanged only for an errant pass from Causway seal their fate. Ravens had led 43-33 at halftime and again 67-60 at the end of the third period.
One of the highlights of the game was a monstrous dunk from Kester Gomes off a missed Slater put-back.
