Flame Squeaks Past Colorado 158-155 in OT
- Submitted by
 This Phoenix Flame game report will be brought to you in the form of the board game Tri-Bond. Tri-Bond is a board game in which players try to guess what three things have in common. For example, if the clue was red, yellow and green the answer would be colors on a traffic light.

Now that you're warmed up, let's play.

1. Divorce lawyers, bananas and the Phoenix Flame.

The answer is things with splits and that's what the Flame did following its 158-155 overtime win against the Colorado Crossover Saturday night.

2. Colorado, Portland, Santa Barbara.

Name the three teams the Flame has recorded weekend splits against in its last six games. With the exception of Colorado's 12-point win Friday night, the other five of those games have been decided by a total of nine points.

3. Del Summers, James Singleton and your choice of either Larry Morinia or Monte Jones if either scored one more point.

Name three Phoenix players who scored 24 points in the win that improved Phoenix to 6-6 this season Summers and Singleton each racked up 24 while Morinia and Jones each scored 23 in the win. However none of them was as potent offensively as The Big Kahuna as Omar Waller led all players with 30 on the night.

4. Tri-Valley, Las Vegas and Vancouver.

Name the last three teams the Phoenix Flame will face before the regular season ends June 26th. Tri-Valley comes to town Friday and Saturday at Grand Canyon University. The Flame is scheduled to head to Las Vegas on June 21st and 22nd before closing out the regular season against the Vancouver Volcanoes at home June 24th and 26th. The Flame is scheduled to play Vegas four times but only two of those games have been scheduled as of now.

These games are key as the Flame will be pushing for playoff seeding. The playoffs start June 29th and the top four seeds in the Western Division earn a first-round bye. The official playoff schedule will be announced by the league n June 27th.

5. Jovan Harris, Darrell Tucker and Franco Harris.

Name the top three scorers for Tri-Valley that Phoenix needs to contain to try and pull out wins over the 9-3 Titans. Jovan Harris is third in the league averaging 32.3 points a night. Tucker is eighth with 26.1 points per game. Franco Harris pours in 24.8 points per game for a potent Tri-Valley offense. Unfortunately, Jovan Harris has been sidelined with an ankle injury to slow the machine down.

Tri-Valley has scored a league-high 183 points against Salem on May 18th but only won that game by four points. They have only had two games scoring less than 120 points this season so the scoreboard will be lit up.

6. Ticketmaster, The team offices, At the door.

Name three ways to get your seat for the next two high-flying Flame games Friday and Saturday at Grand Canyon University. We know Tri-Valley can score and the Flame just put up a season-high 158 in this win. Offense will be plentiful this weekend.

7. You, your friend, their friend.

Name three people who should come out and see the excitement of IBL action.

8. I'm out of ideas. It's dinner time. My laundry needs to go in the dryer.

Name the reasons why this article is done.

See you this weekend at Grand Canyon University!
