Gilliam was the top scorer with 24 points. He also added 8 rebounds in 40 minutes; quite an impressive performance considering it's only Gilliam's second season in pro basketball. There are only two games left until the end of the TBL Regular Season. So now every game will be critical.

This season Pattinson averages 9.6ppg and 1.7rpg.
#3. Ronald Scott (6'0''-G-1993, played in 2012-13, currently in the TBL), who plays in the TBL was not able to help the Frederick Flying Cows (19-3) in their last game. Despite his very good performance the Frederick Flying Cows lost 104-112 in Bowie to the Capital Seahwaks.
