Lucas: Win On The Islands

Posted Aug 12, 2010
There were times during Wednesday night's 130-87 victory over the Commonwealth Bank Giants that it was hard to remember this wasn't just an extension of the 2009-10 season. Two of the on-court standouts were Tyler Zeller (22 points, 13 rebounds) and John Henson (a very active 11 points, 5 rebounds, and a shortchanged-by-the-stat-crew two blocks in 18 minutes), just as they were at the end of the 2010 postseason.
