Recap

Game 1 between Brooklyn and Boston produced a tight point guard battle between the Nets' Choc (40 points, seven assists, three steals) and the Celtics' oFAB (34 points, nine assists, one steal) with both attempting more than 22 shots in the matchup. 

After Brooklyn picked up the four-point win, oFAB came back in Game 2 with a 41-point effort himself while holding Choc to 27 points and 10 assists to even the series. 

Game 3 saw the two go shot-for-shot yet again as Choc dropped 30 points while oFAB ended with just 28.

Celtics Crossover (0-5) remains just one of two teams without a series win this season, joining 76ers GC (0-6) at the bottom of the standings.

Only a few spots ahead, Pistons GT (1-8) continue to slump after a brutal loss to Grizz Gaming on Thursday. 

After winning Game 1 decisively, thanks to 32 points from DevGoss, Memphis stormed back to take Game 2 with Vandi posting 47 points on 18-of-26 shooting from the field. 

Vandi received a bit more help in Game 3, where three Grizz starters finished in double figures scoring and guard AuthenticAfrican went 7-of-9 from the floor. Despite having four players score more than 10 points, Detroit couldn't keep pace and is forced to sort through another lost opportunity.

Week 5 continues Friday with NetsGC back in action against Raptors Uprising GC in what will be a measuring-stick game for Brooklyn against one of the top teams in the league.
