From Cyd Ziegler, Jr., at Outsports.comThe San Francisco Rockdogs beat the Long Beach Rebels for the gold medal of the men’s basketball A-division at Gay Games VIII, 68-56. San Francisco’s C. Johnson led all scorers with 19 points.
The Rockdogs were in control for much of the game with some athletic drives to the basket and break-away steals. The turning point in the game came when the Rebels received two technical fouls and one personal foul on the same play. The Rockdogs got six consecutive technical free throws; Though they only made one of them, they also got the ball back, made that basket, and the Rebels’ energy seemed to drain after that. The Rebels did cut the deficit to 7 points with back-to-back 3-pointers late in the fourth quarter, but the Rock Dogs responded with two quick baskets that iced the game.
