It was a glorious evening for the Post-Impressionists, who picked up their first victory of the cup. And on the basketball court, of all places. They faced the Surrealists, who are really coming into their own now that Kyler Crawford has hit his stride as a power forward. Crawford rebounded well, and has really become a force under the basket, both offensively and defensively. Sundeep Kakarlapudi passed the ball well tonight, hitting shooting guard Gregory Owen for a couple assists. Chris Choo got some big offensive boards for the Surrealists and scored well, and Eric “baby face” Lin forced several turnovers. But the Surrealists could not overcome the Post-Impressionists, who were bent on adding their first tally to the win column. Jeongho Joo played tough defense, and big men Geoffrey Wong and Joshua Lee scored consistently for the Toulous-Lautrec-ers. Thomas Choi registered a couple buckets, Timothy So hustled hard and got hit for some key passes on fast breaks, and the girls made some contributions other than their high-pitched and deafening shrieks.

The Scrabble boards were quiet tonight, with two of the games delayed until tomorrow because of rain. The Impressionists registered the high-score of all the matches in their battle with the once-tough Modernists, who dropped another and are sliding further back in the standings. The Post-Impressionists couldn’t quite make it a two-victory night in their bout with the Cubists, who look quite strong on the Scrabble board and will probably make a push for the finals as they are only two games out of second place. And in the first showdown between the Constructivists and the Vampire Slayers — the league’s top two teams — the Red Wedge stuck a wooden stake into the hearts of their foes and handed them their third loss in a row. The race for second place and a spot in the finals is now closer than ever before.
