Impressive opener for the Jam

LOS ANGELES -- Overwhelming. That's what the Jam was in the second half of its 116-90 win over the D-Fenders at Staples Center.

This was a close contest for the entire first half when the Jam had no defense and was getting torched on the perimeter by D-Fenders guards Brandon Heath and Joe Crawford, who finished with 25 and 24 points, respectively. But Bakersfield came out storming in the second half.

Actually, it started with a dunk from DeMarcus Nelson during the final minute of the second quarter and then Nick Lewis hit a buzzer-beater 3-pointer to send the Jam into halftime with momentum. And it just snowballed in the third quarter. Altogether an impressive 27-2 run with some stifling defense and overwhelming offense. The Jam was relentless.

Richard Hendrix was a stud; so was Nelson. And while he only had six points on 3-of-9 shooting, Mateen Cleaves was the delivery man, dishing 12 assists.

All in all, an impressive way to open the season.

Roth is a great coach. It appears now that he finally has the talent to make the Jam winners.
