It took the Diamondbacks all of eight seconds to answer, as Kamari Burnside drove for an easy layup. It was a sequence that said volumes about Wednesday’s Southwest League opener for both teams.
Desert Oasis had three players score 20 or more points and rolled to a 93-77 home win over the Trailblazers.
“Every time they pushed it to 12, we just pushed right back,” Desert Oasis coach Joseph Bedowitz said. “And it’s a big step for our program, because in the past that happens and we just kind of wilt.”
The Diamondbacks opened the game on a 22-4 run and controlled throughout as Burnside, Jacob
Heese and Nate Van combined for 74 points.
Heese, a returning allstate player, led the way with 29 points, but guards Van
(25 points) and Burnside (20 points) were key in holding the lead. Van knocked down three 3-pointers, and Burnside was able to get into the lane and finish around the basket.
“They’re both super important,” Bedowitz said. “And their importance is just magnified when they’re not in the game. You can tell.”
Heese was key as well, scoring 14 points in the first quarter to help the Diamondbacks run out to a 25-9 lead. Heese finished with 17 rebounds, three assists, two blocked shots and two steals.
“I’ve run out of descriptive words for Jake,” Bedowitz said. “He is the heart and soul of this team, and how he plays everybody else follows.”
Manny Mitchell added 12 points and 10 rebounds for Desert Oasis.
Hunter scored 21 of his 23 points in the second half, but he and his Durango teammates seemed to work twice as hard as Desert Oasis for every shot.
Vernell Watts scored 23 points, including 14 in the first half when Hunter spent the final 9:05 on the bench after picking up his third foul.
“I told them in the locker room I appreciate that a large weight has been lifted off of me,” Bedowitz said. “Us, Durango and (Sierra) Vista, we’re all fighting for that third and fourth (playoff ) spot (in the Southwest). So this was a huge game for the first game of league.”
