NBL shooting display

The best shooting display of the NBL Grand Final series between the Dragons and the Tigers was definitely delivered by Tremmell Darden in the deciding game 5. I watched the game with friends and while Tremmell is best known for his high flying acrobatics or his slashing drives, in the third quarter he showed his entire repertoire. He was a perfect 7 of 7 from the field including 3 of 3 from deep and just took over the game. Tremmell finished the night with 31 points on 10 of 16 shooting, 3 of 3 from deep, 8 of 11 from the line, 7 boards and 0 turnovers.

Tremmell Darden has done a lot of different things for the South Dragons this season, but scoring 21 points in one quarter wasn't one of them until he did just that in Game Five of the NBL Grand Final series against the Melbourne Tigers on Friday night.

Only two players have scored more than 20 points in one quarter of a Grand Final game in the history of the NBL – Andrew Gaze in 1993 and Rob Feaster in 2003 - but Darden added his name to that list with a devastating display in the third term of the Dragons' 102-81 victory over the Tigers.

Darden nailed a perfect 7-of-7 from the field – including 3-of-3 from downtown – during the third stanza as the Dragons took control of the contest before eventually cruising to their first Championship.
