With a playoff game on the line, the Milton Eagles rose to the challenge on Wednesday. They blew past the Titans, posting a 80-41 victory at home. Milton has made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won 20 contests by 20 points or more this season.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Milton to victory, but perhaps none more so than Nya Smith, who shot 4-for-10 from downtown and almost dropped a double-double on 30 points and nine rebounds. Smith is crushing the point category: she's posted at least 16 every time she's taken the court this season. The team also got some help courtesy of Londyn Walker, who dropped a double-double on 16 points and 13 assists.
Discovery's defeat shouldn't obscure the performances of Kaylon Jackson, who scored 14 points along with four steals, and Maiya George who scored two points along with five steals.
The victory (which was Milton's 13th in a row) raised their record to 25-2. Those good results were due in large part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 67.9 points per game. As for Discovery, they are on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 11-17.
