Werribee Devils shot themselves in the foot in a 107-93 loss to Waverley Falcons in the Big V basketball men’s championship clash of the undefeated at Werribee on Saturday night.
The Devils were left to rue sloppy shooting, putting up 12 more shot attempts for only a 38 per cent return, while the Falcons hit 54 per cent of their field shots, including a remarkable 11 of 19 from beyond the three-point arc.
Four of the five Devils’ starters produced solid numbers.
Jordan Hughes double-doubled with 16 points and 10 rebounds, while imports Aaron McCuin (16 and eight) and Rustin Dowd (21 points) made their presence felt.
Will Deng came off the bench for the Devils with 23 points and five rebounds.
In a treat for the home fans, former Philadelphia 76ers, Chicago Bulls, Seattle SuperSonics, LA Lakers and Houston Rockets NBA player Sedale Threatt turned out for the Falcons at the ripe age of 52.
And he still has the touch, with 16 points, six rebounds, four assists and a trademark four steals.
