In the second half, the Ballers had their fifth man show up so they played the rest of the game at even strength!

The next matchup brought two teams that were ready to play, the two teams were the United Nations versus Rock Center. They both came out firing!

Toby (UN) scored a game high 26pts and Mac went for a double-double (22p 10r). The Rock Center tried to put their best foot forward but fatigue got them!

Division 1
BABA Empire (47 v. Eagles (67)
In D1, the day began with a battle between the Eagles and the BABA Empire! This game was competitive three out of four quarters, but that one quarter was more than enough difference! The game started off slowly, each team feeling one another out. Then the second quarter happened! The Eagles outscored BA, 22-9, before the half behind Alec's double-double (13p 14r) and 14pts from Faro! The Empire tried to keep the game close with 14pts from Doug and 11pts from Steve.
