It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Chatham had no problem doing just that on Wednesday. They came out on top against the Lincoln Lions by a score of 59-48. Given the Cougars' advantage in MaxPreps' New Jersey basketball rankings (they are ranked 56th, while the Lions are ranked 252nd), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Chatham has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won seven of their last eight games. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-6 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 66.4 points over those games. Lincoln is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 8-8.
Coming up, Chatham will challenge Millburn at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday. Millburn is strutting in with some offensive muscle as they've averaged 62.4 points per game this season. Lincoln does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
