Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Bountiful). They blew past the Cyprus Pirates 63-10 on Friday. With the RedHawks ahead 31-4 at the half, the match was all but over already.
Bountiful got their victory on the backs of several key players, but it was Mae Johnson out in front who dropped a double-double on 14 points and 11 rebounds. Johnson is on a roll when it comes to boards, as she's now pulled down 11 or more in the last three games she's played. Another player making a difference was Taylor Harvey, who went 5 of 11 on her way to 16 points and three steals.
Bountiful was working as a unit and finished the game with 14 assists. That's the most assists they've managed all season.
When it comes to explaining why Cyprus lost, don't look at Calee Sharp. Despite the final result, she posted seven points. That was a full 70% of Cyprus' points, marking the third time in a row she's put up more than a third of the team's points.
