Max's All Stars drop to 2-3 in Riverside Classic

Max's All Stars fell to 2-3 in the Winter 2013 Riverside Classic Unlimited League, losing to Cru Thik by a final score of 50-40. Down by 10 points at halftime, Max's All Stars battled back and cut the deficit to 2 points midway through the second half. Unfortunately, despite playing better in the second half, Max's All Stars dug themselves too deep a hole in the first half and could not complete the comeback. Turnovers, missed free throws and struggles on defense contributed to the loss. Anthony Gill, Branden Gibson, Corey Orgias, Marvin Jr Billups and Patrick James were joined by two fill-ins, Troy Marcus and his cousin, Jerome Alexander (shoutout to Kevin Young for recruiting Marcus and supporting the team) - they all battled hard, but fell short in the end. The loss drops Max's All Stars record to 2-3 with the playoffs starting next week.
