In the first half, Max's All Stars stayed aggressive defensively and forced turnovers that led to transition opportunities. However, in the second half the team took their foot off the gas pedal and just like that, the game was tied - turning into another seesaw affair. Fortunately, Max's All Stars stayed focused and closed the game out. Tied at 82 in the final 30 seconds, Darryl "Truck" Bryant scored on a layup, drew a foul and hit a free-throw to provide the winning margin.
