A big congratulations to Ethan Salinas, who grabbed at least five steals for the first time in his career. He shot 70% from the field en route to 14 points along with eight boards and five steals as Americas took down Pebble Hills 63-20. We rated that as his best effort of the season, edging out his previous best, set last Thursday, when he went 6-for-8 to rack up 14 points in addition to four blocks and three steals (Gamescore: 21.3 vs. 19.8).
Looking ahead, Salinas and Americas will square off against Bowie at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The Trail Blazers got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Bears thanks in part to Salinas: he shot 82% from the field on his way to 18 points and eight rebounds. Can he match (or beat) that stellar performance? Check back here after the action for a full breakdown and analysis of the contest.
