Basketball Recap: Port of Los Angeles Polar Bears vs. West Adams Panthers
Port of Los Angeles had to hit the road for their first game and it wasn't the result they were hoping for. They took a 62-53 hit to the loss column at the hands of the West Adams Panthers on Friday. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Polar Bears of the 77-71 loss they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in November of 2022.
Despite the loss, Port of Los Angeles still got an impressive performance from Hudson Smith, who went 8 for 18 en route to 26 points plus seven assists and seven steals. Smith is on a roll when it comes to steals, as he's now grabbed two or more in the last seven games he's played dating back to last season. Another player making a difference was Dai'Yon Gibson, who posted five points along with eight rebounds and two steals.
Port of Los Angeles didn't take long to hit the court again: they've already played their next game, a 73-42 defeat against Vistamar on the 19th. West Adams has also already played their next matchup, a 65-57 loss against Foshay on the 18th.
