League Results

This season's full league results are available here.

Jammers and Lycans had an up-down game which saw the two teams exchange big leads through the game. Jammers played without dominant post scorer Glen who was out with a knee injury. Lycans finally pulled away with a big gap in the 4th with big plays from #2 Desmond and #24 Macmillan. Jammers made a comeback to come within 2 pts and seconds away from tying the game. It was not meant to be as time ran out and Lycans took the 3rd place over Jammers.

Taman Jurong CSC faced an energized and physical Rock Dogs team as they met in the championship game. Led by their guards Nick and Evan, the Rock Dogs again took a big lead in this one, very much like their start against Jammers in the conference finals. Dixon outplayed Sashi in the post and the big men lineup of the Dogs was too much for the young guns to handle. The result? Frustration and fouls ending up in the Rock Dogs' favour. Taman Jurong's leader Vimal took a bad fall in the previous game against Lycans and was never a huge factor in this one as he visibly struggled in the game. The young guns never did get their running game going but played hard nosed full-court defense to pull within 9 in the 4th. However, it was not their day as the Rock Dogs continued to score and eventually pulled away for the win, securing the championship in the hard fought playoffs.

Two close games, both decided by a shot taken just before time expired. Taman Jurong advances to the Finals after Lycans team leader Macmillan took the final three that rolled in and out. For the Rock Dogs, they were tied with the Jammers until the final second when Mike Julian threw up a prayer at the top of the key just mili-seconds before time expired. The shot bounced off the front rim, hit the backboard and dropped into the net, sending the Rock Dogs to the finals to face off against Taman Jurong CSC.

Alleyoop Conference playoffs first round rivals Lycans and Winning XI had the 3rd ranked Lycans getting a good headstart and never looking back. Winning XI put up a valiant effort to reach within 4 but Steven Tan of Lycans torched the opponents and got the win for his team. Meanwhile, Taman Jurong & Braddell Eagles played a tight game that saw the Eagles taking a strong lead early. As it looked like Eagles had the win in the bag, Taman Jurong turned the tables around in the 3rd qtr behind cool-headed Vimal Mogun's long range shooting that gave the conference leaders their lead. Finally, they closed out the game with some big shots from all around and stole the game from the eager Eagles, whose playoff championship dreams came to an early halt.

SlamJam Conference playoffs first round saw the two underdogs, 2nd and 4th seeds raise to the occasion and beating their conference rivals enroute to the conference finals. Rock Dogs & Jammers will meet in the conference final round.

Jammers International Men's League - Season 1

Final Round Results

Leading Playoff Scorers (Final Round)

Championship Game: Nemesis vs Victorious Secret

The atmosphere of the first ever Jammers League Finals was electric. The teams arrived in full battle mode, ready to contest in the game that mattered most. Their supporters arrived in throes to cheer on the two teams. Victorious Secret with their 'model' cheering squad, and Nemesis who had friends and family by their side.

Both teams got the game started strong; it was clear that this was not going to be a one-sided contest. VS took the lead briefly in the 1st quarter with some strong play from centre Ron Ho (#10) and Bruce Bowen-ish Darren Joe (#32). However, Nemesis made a comeback in the 2nd quarter with impressive play by Bendino Ong (#7). Tan Yu Tian (#9) was a constant factor, scoring when needed to support his team. The two teams were separated by 1 single point at half-time.

In the third, both teams continued their relentless defense and neither gave way. Sheau Kian (#8) and Yu Tian held things together for Nemesis while VS had baskets from all their players oncourt in this quarter. Again, 1pt separated the teams in this quarter as Nemesis held on tightly to the lead.

The decisive 4th quarter saw a heroic effort by Yu Tian to put his team ahead but this was thwarted by the strong inside play of VS and the big guys dominated. In their frustration, Nemesis fell apart piece by piece, fouling the VS players one too many times during the crucial period. This resulted in free throw after free throw for VS, which the team seized to get ahead. Out of 25pts scored by VS in this quarter, close to 50% (12pts) were scored at the line. With seconds left, Nemesis team captain Jordan Loo (#13) didn't give up and hit a long three to get within reach of a tie. A successful steal saw Nemesis come ahead for a chance to tie the game. It was not meant to be. A bad pass and turnover by a Nemesis player ended the opportunity as VS players held on to the ball to secure their very first playoff championship trophy.

3rd/4th Placing: AirForceONE vs Jammers (17 Oct 09 / 4pm)

The two teams that were touted to meet in the Finals fell in the first round to their opponents and met in the 3rd/4th placing game in the playoffs. AirForceONE obviously lost a lot of steam after the tough loss to Nemesis and it was evident in the turnout on that day. The Jammers came more ready to play, hoping to get one back from the only team that beat them during the regular season.

The Js got off to a hot start behind sharpshooters Jamon (#10) and Tommy (#15), who rained threes on AF1 right from the onset. A 9-pt lead separated the two at the end of the opening quarter. AF1 was kept alive by the valiant efforts of their centre Gad, after Sheldon was carried off the court with an early ankle injury in the game.

However, a huge 2nd quarter by the Jammers (30pts) saw the gap widen and the lead was 25pts by halftime. A total of 6 three-pointers were hit by Jason (#5), Bandar (#18), Tommy and Jamon in this quarter to extend the lead. The trend continued into the third quarter as the Jammers' lead was increased to 30pts at the end of the 3rd.

Finally, AF1 picked up their act in the final quarter and scored 30pts in the final quarter, but it was too little too late. Defensively, they were also unable to hold back the Jammers who also scored 24 in this quarter. The Js finally closed the season on a convincing victory over their friendly foes, AirForceONE.

Schedule for Jammers League Playoff Finals

First Round Results

The playoffs started on an exciting note where the top 4 teams in the regular season matched up against each other. The teams were eager to play and it was evident in the heightened emotions of the players in each team. Nobody wanted to lose.

Leading Playoff Scorers (1st Round)

Game 1: AirForceONE (2) vs Nemesis (3)
Nemesis got off to a good start behind some good team play and early offense by their forward Shaoxiong (#4) who carried them on both ends, scoring and rebounding. AF1 was suffocated by the excellent defensive play of Nemesis and got off to a slow start, not finding the range early. The big men of AF1 were also unable to make their mark inside and were outplayed by the Nemesis frontline, despite their size advantage.

AF1 got back into the game after some red hot shooting by Lionel (#8), and tied up the game in the 3rd quarter, even moving ahead to take a good lead. However, Nemesis' determined focus prevailed as they came biting back, one ball at a time, until they eventually took back the lead for good. Qibi (#5)tore the defense apart as he drove in time and again to make huge clutch baskets for Nemesis, scoring as many pts (9) as the entire AF1 team in the decisive 4th quarter. Nemesis took 24pts to secure the trip to the first ever Jammers League Finals.

Game 2: Jammers (1)vs Victorious Secret (4)
The Js took to the court with an almost full Victorious Secret team for the 2nd game of the day. The two teams were evenly matched for the first half, ending 33-32 in favour of the Js. However, a 3rd quarter explosion by VS (19-8), led by their forwards, turned the game in the other direction.

Emotions ran high as the #10 players of both teams (Ron & Jamon) were ejected in the quarter after some shoving and words exchanged. With their regular season top scorer out of the picture, the Js struggled to find their offensive rhythm. Alvin (#1) hit several key baskets and free throws for VS. Evenly matched in the final quarter again, the game ended in favour of VS winning their first game against the Js and marching to the Finals to meet Nemesis.
