Despite the Pierce College men’s basketball team shaky start to the game, they made the stops they needed during the second half and pulled out the win.

The Brahmas struggled at the start of the game turning over the ball several times.

Even though their struggles were noticeable, they were able to pull out the win with a final score of 87-78.

“We just started playing better,” said Brahmas’ head coach Edward Babayan. “We stopped settling for jump shots and started going in for the basket.”

West L.A’s ability to handle the ball was not called into question but their rebounding was.

“Every team we’ve played has out rebounded us,” said West L.A. head coach Ron Mcclurkin. “I will contribute every loss to that.”

After the victory, the Brahmas gear up for their next game at Mira Costa College on Tuesday, Dec. 6 at 5 p.m.
