Ghana Navy’s matchup against DC Dynamics has been postponed to a yet to be known date after a rain induced start to the second quarter forced officials to cancel the game.
Navy led 8-5 in the second quarter before rain started to drizzle rendering the court slippery and dangerous to play on.
The game which pitched the losing sides of the opening round of the 2016 Accra Basketball League Men’s Division I playoff games, tipped off long after the scheduled 17:00 GMT jump ball, as the venue played host to another event to the frustration of fans and teams alike.
However, there was nothing slow about the game’s start as Navy Shooting Guard Brew Smith drilled in a long jump shot right after proceedings began.
Struggling to penetrate DC Dynamics impressive defensive network, Navy relied on shots away from the basket to register points on the board as Sarkor’s two three point conversions ended a run of misses at the basket.
Dynamics repeated the strong showing on defense it did in the opening game against Tema Youth with Navy’s David Asingar finding it difficult to drive to the basket and convert. Multiple double teams from the smaller but versatile Dynamics side proved successful in shackling Navy’s big men.
The league board is yet to state a new date to honor the game.
