#7 Knights (50) v. #3 Squadron (64)
Championship Week has finally arrived and the Asian Open Division has come down to the Final Four! The Knights come in as your #7 seed taking on the #3 seeded Squadron!
The Knights came to the game without Ant Navarrete! Who has suffered a broken hand since last week! The Knights were ready to play even though they were short a player they had their core in tact! They built themselves a big hole that they had to dig they're way out of! Missing their first 7 shots of the game! As a team, they shot 8-27 fgs (30%) in the first half. Joe Scott and Jovelle each scored 10pts to pace the Knights. They were down 37-20 at the half!
Squadron had they're entire squad show up (because in their minds they were going to play two championship games)! They began the game on a 14-0 run! Led by Yuhki (17pts) and Travis (14pts) the Squadron brought a 17pt lead into the second half of the game.
But, just like a good squad, the Knights weren't just going to roll over! They outscored the Squadron in the third quarter, 21-12, to bring the lead down to single digits! That unfortunately was as close as they were going to get. As Squadron ended the game on a 15-9 fourth quarter! To go on to win the game, 64-50!

#5 GS Threat Matrix (52) v. #1 Boogie (63)
The second semifinal of the day has the undefeated #1 seed, Boogie, taking on the #5 seeded GS Threat Matrix!
The GS Threat Matrix had upset on their minds! They played well with only 5 players they built a 17-10 lead after the first quarter! Led by Ricci's game high 21pts on 9-20 fgs (45%) shooting! Chris chipped in with 5asts and Tyler had a game high 12 rebounds! They lost their lead in the second quarter but were still in the game, 36-30!
Boogie 2.0 is working on an undefeated season! They have comfortably won each game by an average of 10pts! But they haven't played in 3 weeks?! Edwin and Johnny each scored 11pts most of them in the first half! Rebo acted as the floor general with his 5asts and Georgio played the role of thief coming away with 4stls! Boogie 2.0 had the game in hand after the third up by 11pts! They held on to the lead and won, 63-52!
Thank you, GS Threat Matrix for a great season!

#3 Squadron (53) v. #1 Boogie (60)
The final game of the Asian Open season has arrived! After a long season full of amazing highlights it's come down to this! A battle between #3 Squadron vs. the undefeated #1 Boogie 2.0!
Squadron had themselves a day! For some of them this would mark their third game of the day! Luckily for them they had the entire squad show up! It was a close game throughout! Jordan (12pts) lead the team in scoring in the first half and Steven (14pts) in the second! They shot 13-27 fgs (48%) in the first half to take a 30-28 lead in a hard fought game!
Boogie had a rough time figuring the Squadron out! The switching and the hustle points were not going in Boogie's favor until they finally figured out their advantage...pass it down low to the man with the height advantage, Prabe! They did that over and over! Prabe was 4-5 fgs in the fourth quarter and finished the game with a game high, 17pts on 6-8 fgs (75%), and was the MVP for the finals! As Boogie went on to win and finish their season going undefeated, 60-53!
A huge thank you goes out to the fellas from Squadron! You guys played your hearts out and I thank you! Hope to see you next season...

#2 Swishers (63) v. #1 Prodigies (68)
Our Division Two Championship game came down to the top two seeds, #2 Swishers vs. #1 and undefeated Prodigies, and this one would go down to the wire!
The Swishers were ready to play this game! With the trophy within reach, the Swishers went all in for it! They shot the ball well in the first half going 13-27 fgs (48%)! Travis Hom led the Swishers in scoring with 14pts and Ron Lee added 12pts & 2blks. Their defense stood up to the Prodigies holding them down to 11-27 fgs (41%) at the half! At the end of the first half, the Swishers were up 32-25!
The roles were reversed in the second half! The Prodigies turned a 7pt halftime deficit into a 5pt lead after the third! MVP Sean Caiola almost had a TripleDouble with 14pts, 10asts and 7rebs! The 25pt third quarter was highlighted by Quentin Wu's 13pts (game high 23pts)! As a team, the Prodigies shot a blistering 16-27 fgs (59%) in the second half and held the Swishers to 11-31 fgs (35%)! The Prodigies were able to hold off any late surge from the Swishers to win, 68-63, and complete an undefeated season!
Thanks Swishers! Hope to see you again next season...
