RECAP - #4 Moriarty outduels #5 Taos in slugfest, 49-42
Well I was wrong about the race to 60 points in this one, but it's the playoffs. It's not often to evenly matched teams allow each other to score easily. In this case though it was a back and forth affair by quarter. Taos jumped out to an 11-3 lead but a 20 point second quarter by Moriarty caught them up with the Tigers. A Taos owned third quarter opened up a Pinto dominated fourth. It was then that foul trouble added up for both sides but Taos was hurt the most with their big, Allen Martinez fouling out. The Moriarty bigs attacked the glass and helped the Pintos clinch the semifinal bid.
