Aviators Soar Past Wardens 110-87 Behind Dominant Second Half Surge

Petrov and Meier Lead Atlanta's Offensive Barrage to Cruise Past Washington

ATLANTA – The Atlanta Aviators unleashed a potent offensive display, especially in the second half, to overwhelm the Washington Wardens 110-87 on Wednesday night. After a tightly contested first half, the Aviators found their rhythm, outscoring Washington 60-39 after halftime to secure a decisive victory.

The game began with both teams exchanging blows, struggling to establish a consistent lead. However, the Aviators’ offensive firepower, spearheaded by a stellar performance from Adrik Petrov and Adrian Meier, proved too much for the Wardens to handle. Petrov orchestrated the offense with a near triple-double, while Meier matched him point-for-point, showcasing the Aviators’ dual-threat capability.

The turning point arrived midway through the third quarter when the Aviators implemented a suffocating defensive effort, forcing several turnovers that translated into fast-break points. Yasmine Sharif’s steal and subsequent fast break ignited a 15-4 run that stretched their lead to double digits, a margin they would never relinquish.

“We knew we had to pick up the intensity on defense,” said Aviators Head Coach Evelyn Reed. “Once we started getting stops, our offense just flowed. Adrik and Adrian were exceptional tonight, leading by example.”

Petrov finished with 25 points, 7 rebounds, and a game-high 10 assists, narrowly missing a triple-double. Meier also poured in 25 points, hitting crucial shots throughout the contest. For the Wardens, Aisha Bakari contributed 7 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists in a valiant effort.

“We just didn’t execute down the stretch,” admitted Wardens forward Samuel Dubois. “Give credit to Atlanta, they made the plays when it mattered most.”

Key Notes:

  • Adrik Petrov dished out 10 assists, orchestrating the Aviators’ offense.
  • The Aviators outscored the Wardens 60-39 in the second half.
  • Atlanta dominated the boards with 57 total rebounds to Washington’s 43.
  • The Aviators shot 45.3% from the field, while the Wardens struggled at 35.4%.
