For the third time this season, the Bulls faced their cross-town rivals, the Celtics. The Celtics came in with a 6-5 record, and full of confidence. The game was tight throughout the first half as the Bulls struggled to find their shots. The two teams were separated by one point at the half.
The Celtic pulled ahead by one early in the third on a bucket by Pat Loughlin, but then it was Katy-bar-the-door as the Bulls went on a 14-0 run to build a 13 point lead. The run was sparked by a three pointer by Walter "the Bandit" Rivas, and highlighted by another three-pointer by Andrew Martin.
This was not the first time that the Bulls have completely dominated a third quarter. By running up a 14-2 advantage in tonights third quarter, they increased their overall dominance of third quarters to 135-59, outscoring their opponents by an average of seven points in third quarters.
Andrew Martin led a balanced attack with 11 points. Will "Magic" Kenny and Will "The Thrill" Howes each netted eight. Walter Rivas contributed five.
Iain Wright put the icing on the cake when he sank a free throw with 10 second left on the clock to make the final score Bulls 33, Celtics 19.
The Bulls advance to the tournament finals next Tuesday at Black River Middle School.
