Power beat Miami 305 50:36 on Friday night in the Big3, holding the visitors to one of their lowest scoring outputs of the season. The result moves Power further clear at second place while Miami 305 remain in fourth after five games each.
Power came into the match having won four of their five outings, including victories over Triplets and Detroit Amps in their last two outings. Miami 305 had shown flashes of competitiveness with a win over Houston Rig Hands on 7 August but had lost three of five overall.
The difference between the sides was clear from the first period. Power sat deep and soaked it up, forcing Miami 305 into low-percentage shots and then converting on their own possessions. The visitors simply could not find rhythm against a Power side that changed shape at the break and kept them in it for long stretches.
What stood out was the gap in efficiency. Power scored 50 points while Miami 305 managed just 36 — a margin that reflected the hosts' ability to control tempo and limit transition opportunities. Miami 305 had beaten Power 51:44 in their previous meeting on 19 July, but this time Power did not travel to make up the numbers.
The standings now show Power with a comfortable cushion at second place. Miami 305's three defeats from five games leave them with work to do if they want to climb the table. Power, meanwhile, have kept their momentum going and feel they are building something real here.
