Tonight in the Fall 2011 92Y Adult Basketball League A-Division playoffs, Max's All Stars (seven seed), upset Team #1 Eric F - Royal Blue (one seed) by a final score of 60-54. It was a total team effort from start to finish. Max's All Stars were in control in the first half, going up 26-21 until the opposition went on a 10-0 run to take a five-point halftime lead. However, Marvin Billups Jr scored the first five points of the second half to tie things up and Max's All Stars kept the intensity up en route to victory. The team improved at the free throw line, helping close things out late. Corey Orgias, Branden Gibson, Kevin Major, Angel Gonzalez and Patrick James (who played suffocating defense throughout the game) all hit clutch free throws in the second half. Ronnie Worthen Jr, Reed Morgan, Mike Viola and Eric Olsen also made solid contributions to the big win.
It was hard fought, but Max's All Stars persevered - winning their fifth straight game and advancing to the championship on January 10th.
