Sonny Weems Leads Colorado to D-League Finals

2

The Colorado 14ers overcame an 11-point fourth quarter deficit to take a 114-111 win over the Austin Toros - finishing the game on a 23-10 run in the final 7:45 in front of a pretty good crowd, at least as far as the 14er's are concerned. The 14er's are now the first team in the D-League finals, awaiting the results of Monday's game between Utah and Dakota. Denver Nuggets assignee Sonny Weems led the Colorado comeback, scoring 14 of his team-high 27 points in the fourth quarter. Weems tied the game at 103 with a 3-pointer from the right corner with 5:32 to play, and gave the 14ers the lead for good on a fast break dunk that had Chad Andrus exclaiming "He spiked that one down like a volleyball on Bowen's head!" My reaction was a bit different, as it involved the word 'Holy' followed by an expletive. J.R. Smith was also in attendance.
