Slammers Outshoot Suns in 84-66 Victory

The SW Slammers defeated the Eastern Suns 84-66 on Saturday at Eaton Rec Centre. The Slammers dominated with exceptional perimeter shooting, hitting 41.7 percent from outside compared to the Suns' dismal 13.3 percent. Mykea Gray was a defensive nightmare, snatching seven steals while matching Cayla King with 21 points each. King's five triples helped build a lead that reached 20 points at its peak. Nyidier Riak added efficiency inside, shooting 77.8 percent from the field for 17 points and grabbing eight boards. Despite the loss, the Eastern Suns showed fight through Olivia Berry's game-high 23 points on 53.3 percent shooting. Karly Murphy contributed 19 points and eight rebounds, but the team struggled with ball security, committing 23 turnovers against the Slammers' aggressive defense. The Suns' inside presence was evident with 40 points in the paint, but couldn't overcome their shooting woes from beyond the arc. **SW SLAMMERS 84 (Mykea Gray 21, Cayla King 21, Nyidier Riak 17).** **EASTERN SUNS 66 (Olivia Berry 23, Karly Murphy 19, Denae Civich 7).** #NBL1West #GameDay
