It's playoff time, and Skagway had no trouble coming through when it counted. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 71-68 win over the Nunamiut Amaguq on Saturday. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest victory the Panthers have posted since February 2nd.
Royce Borst was his usual excellent self, going 13-for-23 en route to 34 points along with seven assists and seven rebounds. That makes it four consecutive games in which he has scored at least a third of Skagway's points. Camden Lawson was another key player, shooting 40% from the field on his way to 13 points.
They weren't the only ones working in the assist department: Skagway was working as a unit and finished the game with 19 assists. They racked up six more assists than Nunamiut's also-impressive total of 13.
Several Amaguq players turned in solid performances despite ultimately coming up short. Perhaps the best among those players was Alexander Galloso, who went 8-for-13 to rack up 21 points and five assists. The dominant performance also gave Galloso a new career-high in field goal percentage (62%). Another player making a difference was Tyler Hugo, who dropped a double-double with 18 points and 14 boards.
Skagway is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven games. That's provided a nice bump to their 19-6 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 59.7 points over those games. Nunamiut's defeat dropped their record down to 16-7.
As of now, neither Skagway nor Nunamiut have any future games scheduled.
