Sentinels Hold Off Dynamos 124-118 With Singh's Scoring Barrage
Caleb Singh's Career Night Fuels Paris Past Detroit in High-Octane Showdown
PARIS – The Paris Sentinels outlasted a resilient Detroit Dynamos squad in a thrilling 124-118 victory on home court tonight. After a back-and-forth affair that saw multiple momentum swings, it was the explosive offense led by Caleb Singh that ultimately sealed the win, pushing the Sentinels closer to the top of the Pro League standings.
The game was a testament to offensive firepower from the opening tip. Both teams traded blows early, with neither able to establish significant control. Detroit’s Max Walker was instrumental in keeping the Dynamos in striking distance, orchestrating their offense with precision. However, the turning point arrived in the third quarter when Caleb Singh ignited the Sentinels’ offense. His relentless drives to the basket and clutch shooting, including a pivotal three-pointer that ignited a 10-0 run, gave Paris the breathing room they needed.
Singh finished with a game-high 31 points, a career-best performance that included crucial baskets down the stretch. “Tonight, everything just felt right,” Singh said post-game. “My teammates found me, and I just trusted my shot. This win means a lot for our momentum.”
Detroit mounted a furious comeback in the final minutes, fueled by the all-around play of Giselle Hayes and the scoring of Aiko Nakamura. Hayes contributed 14 points and 8 rebounds, while Nakamura added 13 points and 8 boards. Walker added 20 points and 5 assists for the Dynamos. However, Paris’s ability to draw fouls and convert free throws, coupled with timely defensive stops and a remarkable 27 assists on 47 made field goals, proved too much to overcome.
“We knew Detroit would come with everything they had,” commented Sentinels coach Antoine Dubois. “But our guys showed great composure. Caleb was exceptional, but it was a total team effort. We shared the ball, we battled on the boards, and we executed when it mattered most.”
