The College Summer League playoffs got started with both a bang and a thud on Tuesday night at Maryknoll's gym.
In the first of two opening-round games, No. 4 Clark Hatch Fitness rallied to prevail 76-71 over No. 5 National Fire Protection and earn a date with top-seeded Central Medical Clinic on Thursday. Leon Ballard scored 19 points to lead the way.
In the nightcap, it was a no-doubter as No. 3 Wealth Strategy Partners coasted behind Julian Sensley, Waly Coulibaly and William Broadus to a 108-80 blowout of No. 6 Grantco Pacific. Wealth Strategy gets defending champion Solar Universe.

So, it came as no shock to me that the level of intensity in the two summer league games tonight ratcheted up more than a few notches. You see, not only is this the playoffs, but the games were being televised. Live. Amazing what the fear of being embarrassed on Olelo will do for defensive intensity. In any case, a few things stood out for me tonight:
