Local League: Chennai Slam champions

Punjab Steelers failed to repeat yesterday’s performance and were lagging behind through each quarter in this decisive game three of the championship series. Just like the previous match, both teams were on an even keel in the initial stages of the match with both teams in relentless pursuit of seizing control of the proceedings. 

Chennai Slam led 19-18 in the first quarter. In the second quarter, Chennai Slam consolidated their lead and Ashutosh was Chennai’s main player in this quarter as he harried Punjab’s players with his deft movements and helped Chennai lead 36-24 after the second quarter. The third quarter was a sedate affair as Chennai led 50-40. Punjab tried to rally in the fourth but could not do much.
