Max's All Stars win first game after Hurricane Sandy, improve to 3-1 at 92nd Street Y

In their first game after Hurricane Sandy, Max's All Stars clawed out a victory against previously undefeated Team #2 - Eric Faltraco by a final score of 61-59. In the aftermath of the storm, all four A-Division teams struggled to find enough players for last night's games. Max's All Stars only had 5 players yet again. Mahamoud Jabbi, Marvin Billups Jr, Patrick James and Ronnie Worthen Jr were joined by Super Dave Seagers who triumphantly returned to action after a prolonged absence. Seagers looked rusty early on, but got going in the second half by attacking the basket. He was also very sharp defensively. Max's All Stars started the game down 7-0, but got things under control relatively quickly. Tied at 59 with 9.7 seconds remaining, Marvin Billups Jr drove to the basket, drew a foul and hit both free throws to put Max's All Stars ahead with 4.4 seconds remaining. Team #2 made one last attempt to force overtime, but Max's All Stars got the stop and prevailed. All five players (Seagers, Jabbi, Billups, James and Worthen) fought hard from start to finish, overcame a slow start, some questionable officiating and a lack of depth to earn an important victory and improve to 3-1 on the season.
