After a history making Saturday night, the Jacksonville Giants continued toward their goal their road to the ABA Championship with a 140-98 win over the Jackson Showboats. The Giants hold an overall record of 11-4 and are 5-1 since the start of 2016.

“I am proud of the guys,” said Giants head coach Kevin Waters. “It was a total team effort.”

Jacksonville was led by Bernard Nugent, Dazeran “Duke” Jones, and Calvin Warner. Nugent led the Giants with a season high 28 points. Jones had a season high 20 points while Warner had 15 points. The young trio gave the Giants a spark of energy throughout the game.

Early on the Giants had some struggles, but were able to overcome the mistakes. The Showboats only trailed 29-25 at the end of the first quarter. The Giants were able to make adjustments and outscore the Showboats 34-23 in the second quarter to regain a double digit lead going into halftime. Jacksonville continued their strong play throughout the remainder of the game.

“After starting with a sluggish first half we put together a solid performance in the second half,” said Waters.

The Giants will now turn their attention toward a showdown and Final Four Rematch on Saturday with the Chicago Steam. The Steam are sixth in the ABA Power Rankings and trail the Giants by one place. The game will take place on Saturday night at Veterans Memorial Arena at 7:00 p.m.
