It's playoff time, and La Porte had no trouble coming through when it counted. They strolled past the Michigan City Wolves with points to spare on Friday, taking the game 66-51. This was a revenge game for the Slicers: when they faced off against the Wolves back in January, they had to take a 74-63 loss.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead La Porte to victory, but perhaps none more so than Griffin Ott-Large, who shot 63% from the field to rack up 21 points and seven assists. Another player making a difference was Nic Spence, who dropped a double-double with 12 points and 16 boards.
Ott-Large wasn't the only one working in the assist department: La Porte was working as a unit and finished the game with 13 assists. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Michigan City only two assists.
Anthony Murphy and Taquerion Vanburen certainly did their best on Friday to avoid the loss. Murphy dropped a double-double with 18 points and ten rebounds, while Vanburen almost dropped a double-double with 11 points and nine boards. Murphy is becoming a predictor of Michigan City's success: when he posts at least eight rebounds the team is 8-4 (and 5-6 when he doesn't).

The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 59.0 points over those games. As for Michigan City, with the defeat, they broke their four-game winning streak and moved their record to 13-10.
