Savannah Hawks will seek their third straight win in the National Basketball League West’s pre-season tournament on Sunday when they take on Inner-city Avalanche in the second game of a double header at the Montego Bay Cricket Club.

Hawks has back-to-back wins after beating Hoopers and Catherine Hall All-Stars in the first two series and will seek to maintain their unbeaten run this weekend.

In the first game of the double which starts at 5:00 pm, Catherine Hall All-Stars – who lost both games – and Granville Jaguars will meet. On Saturday, Hawks came back from a slow start to beat All-Stars, thanks largely to a big third quarter which saw them outscoring the St James club 30-14. All-Stars led by a point 17-16 after the first quarter and increased that to five points 37-32 at half-time. Led by Richard Chambers, who scored a game high 27 points, Hawks came roaring back in the third quarter to take a big 11 points 62-51 lead.

The momentum carried over into the fourth period which Sav won 23-17 for the final margin as Kareem Hibbert scored 17 points to support Chambers while Damion Henry scored 16 points to lead Catherine Hall.

In the other game, Hoopers weathered a big second quarter from Avalanche to run out 64-58 winners. Levar Rose led the way with 15 points, Omar bell scored 13 points and Marlon Comrie scored 12 points for Hoopers while Shane Topey scored 23 points for Avalanche.
