Regular Season Round 31: Montreal J. - Halifax R. 104-112
Date: March 1, 2013
Quinnel Brown poured in a franchise-record 40 points and the Halifax Rainmen survived a scare against the Montreal Jazz to pull out a 112-104 victory in a Friday NBL matinee. At the nearly empty Centre Pierre-Charbonneau, the Rainmen rallied from a five-point deficit in the fourth quarter to hold off the lowly Jazz, playing out the string in a nightmarish 2-35 campaign. Halifax led 17-11 after the first quarter and 51-42 at the half. But the Jazz battled back to tie the game at 73-73 after three periods and were leading 88-83 with about eight minutes to go. The Rainmen bounced back to deadlock the score at 96-96, then put together a 12-3 spurt over a 90-second span down the stretch to pull away. “It’s always hard coming in to play a team with like no fans, so you gotta kinda do your own thing to get yourself going,” said Brown. “It just took us a little bit longer today to get going than most days.” Melvin Goins and Joey Haywood added 14 points each for Halifax. Cedric Moodie and Tyrone Levett chipped in with 11 apiece while Malcolm White grabbed 15 rebounds. Manix Auriantal topped Montreal with 28 and J.R. Harrison had 21. Brown, a six-foot-six small forward, finished the afternoon with four triples and also hauled down 11 rebounds. His 40 points eclipsed the team-record 38 that power forward Josh Dollard produced against the Saint John Mill Rats on Feb. 25, 2011, when both clubs played in the Premier Basketball League. “I was kinda up and down,” Brown said modestly when asked about his output, which matched the fifth-highest single-game total in National Basketball League of Canada history. “I dunno. Somebody had to do it and today it was me.” The win gives the Rainmen (18-17) a one-game lead over three teams — the Saint John Mill Rats (17-18), Windsor Express (17-18) and Moncton Miracles (19-20) — in what has become an even more crowded race for the fourth and fifth playoff spots. The Express whipped the Mill Rats 104-74 in Windsor later Friday to elbow their way into the battle. Halifax is only a half-game behind the Oshawa Power (18-16) for third overall. Oshawa has lost four in a row. After riding a bus to Montreal, the Rainmen were headed to New Brunswick for a Sunday afternoon contest with the Mill Rats. Halifax leads the season series 4-3 and the Mill Rats have to beat the Rainmen by more than 31 points to grab the tiebreaker advantage that would come into play if the two teams finish the regular season with identical records. “Especially from here on out, every game is important,” Brown said. “We need to pick it up earlier in the game and not wait so late. We play against some better teams, we’re probably not gonna be able to come back like we did today.” Halifax had split its previous four games while at times appearing to lack the intensity usually evident in a squad fighting for its playoff life. An early week shakeup resulted in the release of centre Antoine Tisby and the one-game suspension of forward Akeem Wright. Brown said he thought the Rainmen, after shaking off the rust of a long bus ride, held their own in the hustle department, though there was still room for improvement. “I think our effort was there,” he said. “I wouldn’t say for most of the game, but at the times we needed it, I think the effort was there.” Courtesy of: thechronicleherald.ca
